   Family gathering of people who were all from out of town. Delightful food, staff, and ambiance.

   Food was ok, service was absolutely terrible--had to remind them that we were there and lost our waiter halfway through the meal. When our meals finally came, the lasagna was cold in the middle. Would not recommend

   I put 4 to be honest. In some respects, not stellar…but the fact is, it is a perfect place when you have a group of friends, with different food likes, picky eaters, and people who want to celebrate with a nice meal. When friends come in from out of town, it’s the first place I take them and it becomes a home base due to the variety and consistency. It’s not top notch gourmet, but it doesn’t need to be.

   Although I made a reservation, they did not have a table for me. Had to eat at the bar. The (one) bartender was hustling and doing the best he could under impossible conditions: he was responsible for drinks for the entire restaurant as well as food and drinks for a full bar. Please hire more bar staff (and don’t bother taking reservations since you can’t honor them).

   The sea bass, which I ordered frequently, was overly salty and overcooked. Very disappointed.

    Great place for early dinner before going to The Beacon. Food was delicious and the service was great. I am excited another Serafina is opening closer to home on 22nd and Park Ave South- can’t wait.

    The temp in the restaurant had to be 80 degrees. They were out of things on the menu. The waiter brought out one entree along with the appetizers. The tap beer was warm. The veal special was a dry piece of cardboard.

    A very pleasant meal with lovely service and yummy food. If my chicken milanese had been a bit more tender, the music slightly quieter, and the bartender a smidge less busy, it would have been perfect :)

    We really enjoyed the Caprese salad, Spaghetti alla Vongole, Spaghetti Carbonara, and tiramisu before seeing Ludovico Einaudi perform at the Beacon Theater. Excellent service. Nice wine selection. Gluten free pasta option for me. Everything was perfect. We will return.

    The service was terrible. They forgot to enter my sons order and when we advised them, they send the order through but no real apologies. No follow up. No free deserts etc. My son spent most of the meal without food while we all ate. I had to ask several times for a second drink. When it was time for the bill I had to ask someone where our waiter was. Someone else brought the bill and joked our waiter was new and catching up on other orders. For a restaurant at this price point and which has been around so long it’s disappointing. As upper west side residents we have been coming to the restaurant for several years. Disappointing.

    We had such a great waiter! I miss good service, and he was excellent - attentive without being overbearing. He was pleasant, didn't rush us as so many do. The food was delish - sea bass in pinot grigio sauce, burrata with fried artichokes. Nice wines by the glass since we were all drinking something different. Will definitely be back!

    Despite making a reservation and asked to sit in the large dining space - they sat us by the bar; very disappointing (it didn't get busy until we departed). Our waiter was disconnected and i felt like I was bothering him by asking him a few questions. Asides from this, the cocktails were exceptional and the food was great.

    Our server was overwhelmed, with the addition of the (beautiful) outdoor space on the sidewalk, maybe its just too many tables? The ambiance was really nice though, looking out on the street, people watching, slight breeze, sitting among the cascading faux wisteria.

    I have eaten at SF for many years and have found it to be consistent, reliable and satisfying on many levels. Lately, however, the noise level has increased so much that it has become impossible to have a civil conversation/meal with friends without shouting at each other in order to be heard. The food was OK but we had to wait so long for it without being able to talk to each other and with being subjected to the shouting of the other diners (probably to be heard over the loud thumping music) that we were not able to enjoy our meal. Last night was my third and final attempt to try to eat at Sarafina. Never again!

    Love the restaurant, problem with busboys generally language barrier, a little confusion between service in the tables as a busboy and where is the weather? Passport I should speak better English to get the point across and waders should monitor their tables better

    The restaurant gets very loud, so I would not recommend for a romantic dinner. The service was very slow (I had to go search for my waitress - she took our order and just forgot about us. In addition, the AC wasn't working so the place was very hot. Food was ok, not memorable.

    While the food was good the service was poor. We were there for lunch and told the server we were going to share a salad. She said the kitchen wouldn’t split it but she would bring us utensils to split it. After the salad was served she did not bring extra plates or utensils. We used our bread plates and when we were done with the salad no one took them away. We also shared a pasta dish. It was delivered and again the server did not bring any plates so we used our dirty bread plates. Service staff definitely needs some training.
