Fort Lauderdale East Restaurants

The service was great. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. The appetizers were served soon after they were ordered. Our entrees came shortly after we were done with the apps. The grilled octopus and lobster ravioli were my favorites.

My wife and I had dinner at Serafina last night and we certainly understand now the reasons behind the rave reviews. The food was excellent. We sat outdoors right on the water and the place had a very nice and relaxed ambience. The service was excellent as well. I could tell that every staff person was trying their best and hustling around. Staff was very attentive and sincere. My wife had pasta with a pear stuffing and pesto sauce. I had a generous serving of muscles in a garlic, white wine sauce and the whole branzino, which was perfectly deboned. It may not be in a fancy hotel or overlooking the Fort Lauderdale beaches, but this is a wonderful restsurant with great food, service, and ambience. . 

Best experience yet. The restaurant was buzzing with groups of people celebrating different occasions. Felt like a party. The Chicken parm was rated lifetime number one from a chicken parm connoseir. My whole family loves it here.

Loved the food. Everything was very good, from the baby gem salad to the rock shrimp to the miso soup to the Wagyu Bulgogi. Beautiful ambience in the afternoon sitting outdoors in the pleasant air watching the blue ocean, beach and people walking by. Music was not too loud so one could enjoy a conversation. Service was pretty decent. All in all a very enjoyable leisurely Saturday brunch.

Just an amazing place to dine and share a good time with people. The atmosphere is so upbeat, staff is super friendly, the service is great and the options for food are terrific. We’re visiting from NY and stay in Miami Beach but we always try to get here at least once during our stay. I had blackened mahi mahi and it was delicious. The others chose a burger or salad and everyone was quite satisfied. My cousin drove down from Boca to meet us and he was thrilled with the Boatyard. A great choice for any occasion!
