Serena

We went here for Mother's Day brunch this past May. We waited sort of last minute before we decided to go anywhere, and Serena had advertised their Mother's Day lunch sort of late. I'd had it on my list of places to go anyway, so it worked out!Serena is on the roof of the Moxie hotel. You have to valet park which was fairly simple except that the valet didn't take card... I was able to pay her through the cash app, but only bc I didn't have cash and asked what to do. The girl was nice and directed us into the hotel to go upstairs, but we actually should have used the elevator right there on the outside, as that would have taken us directly to the restaurant rather than the rooftop patio in general. Once we arrived at the restaurant, we were seated around the perimeter of the rooftop on their couches with a coffee table style table in front of us.. maybe a little taller. It was nice but not super conventional seating for eating a meal. I still liked it, though, and thought it was nice. (Just would fit much better with some cocktails/ happy hour in the evening). At one point they brought out a huge fan to aim at the "row" of tables we were on, because it was HOT out and we were essentially sitting in the sun. But then a few minutes later they moved it to one table in the corner... not sure if that family had specifically complained or requested it, but that was annoying. But none of that really mattered in the long run. It was a beautiful brunch, and the servers were all so friendly. And the food was AMAZING. We ordered from their Mother's Day menu, so I don't know if these are normally on there, but my husband had the Guava and Cream Cheese French Toast which was TO-DIE-FOR. Omg this was so so good. And I had the Hash Brown Benedict, which was ALMOST like the savory counterpart to the French toast in terms of flavor. I love hash browns anyway, but whatever they put in their hollondaise sauce was everything! In all, this was a beautiful and unique place with DELICIOUS food. I would love to go back here in the evening for drinks sometime because I can only imagine how great the vibe is then.

Very cute restaurant if you're looking for somewhere aesthetically pleasing and instagrammable! Went for dinner with a friend to catch up & it was pretty, and not too loud that we couldn't talk. The fire dancer at 8:30pm to each individual table was a little much in my opinion. Too early, the place wasn't packed enough, and a little awkward since she went table to table and it was just the two of us. Got the spicy watermelon marg- and it was good! Cute little cowboy hat in it. Fish tacos looked good, though I didn't try them. The guac was ok- kind of flavorless. I enjoyed the steak tartar! The bead was not toasted enough though and was a little soft except for the corners. The sauce was delicious for the tartar. I would come back here for the atmosphere with a big group, but it was nothing to rave about.

I had a nice time here at Serena. The food and drinks is super good and affordable. The staff is super kind and professional. The ambiance is super chill and cool. 5 stars.

The place looks great, and the food was good, though the portions were on the smaller side. When I visited, we ordered the special, which featured half-off wine--a nice touch. The decor is very appealing and definitely adds to the experience. They have chairs at the bar suspended on ropes like swings , which is a unique and fun detail. The middle of the restaurant is beautifully decorated with an amazing flower arrangement, adding to the overall ambiance.However, I do feel the pricing is a bit high for the small portions. Despite this, it's a nice place to check out, especially if you're looking for a trendy spot with a unique atmosphere and decent food.

I'm so happy that Serena brought back their happy hour. They have a decent selection of cocktails and bites. My favorites were the Sola Pero Acompañada and the plantain croquetas. Enjoying all this on a beautiful rooftop makes Serena the perfect spot to decompress after a hard day's work.

So we went back to Serena for another try ! WOW! WOW!This spot is on fire! The manager Selma was on point with everything! Vibe was live food was incredible! Our server Maria was amazing! If you're coming to Miami South beach this is a must stop! Make reservations if you can this is a hot spot to die for!

Made a reservation to celebrate my partner's birthday. We arrived 15 minutes early and were seated. Servers were attentive and checked in on us throughout our stay. The food was good but I was definitely disappointed by the portions. Each plate is on the pricier side so I was definitely expecting more than just two enchiladas. Skipped on the cocktails and just had a beer. Music was good and they had a live dj. Overall it's definitely a great spot for photos but I'd look elsewhere for more affordable dinner options and drinks.

I recently visited Serena Rooftop at the Moxy Hotel for dinner and had a pleasant experience. The ambience of the place is stunning, making it a perfect spot for a night out with friends or a romantic date. The live DJ added to the vibrant atmosphere, creating a fun and lively vibe.The servers at Serena Rooftop were friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. For appetizers, I tried the guacamole and queso fundido. The guacamole was bursting with flavor and freshness, while the queso fundido was satisfyingly good.Moving on to the main course, I ordered the Faroe Islands Salmon. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the accompanying sides complemented it well. While the dish felt light and healthy, it slightly lacked in flavor for my liking, but it was still enjoyable.In conclusion, Serena Rooftop is a great choice for a girls' night out or a romantic date due to its beautiful ambience and welcoming atmosphere. However, if you are solely looking for outstanding food, it may not be the top choice. I recommend visiting Serena Rooftop for its drinks, ambience, and overall experience.

Serena Rooftop offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle below. The outdoor space is undoubtedly the star of the show, providing a breathtaking backdrop for memorable dining experiences.While the menu may be somewhat limited, every dish is crafted with precision and packed with flavor (Fish tacos- my favorite!) From delectable small plates to sumptuous mains, each bite is a culinary delight that leaves a lasting impression.But what truly sets Serena Rooftop apart is its ability to capture the essence of special occasions. For many, myself included, it holds a dear space in our hearts as it marks significant anniversary dates with every visit. The romantic ambiance, coupled with impeccable service, creates an atmosphere of intimacy and celebration.Whether you're savoring a romantic evening with your loved one or simply enjoying cocktails with girlfriends against the backdrop of a stunning sunset, Serena Rooftop never fails to deliver an unforgettable experience.

Perhaps we would return only to enjoy a rooftop and a beer. The waitress & service were great, very nice & attentive. However, when the BANANA SPLIT arrived without banana, a new plate should've probably just been brought out to us (we didn't want to wait for a banana while ice cream melted) - Ice cream tasted generic to me.FAROE ISLAND SALMON - Missing jalapeños - could be a better plate if the salad wasn't drenched in dressing (bland), since it all gets soggy and takes away from the salmon sitting in it as you eat.SHRIMP CEVICHE - Flavorful!OYSTERS - Flavorful as well, but overpowering so it doesn't taste like an oyster.We Miami Spice'd this place, we wouldn't go back for the food even for Miami Spice pricing.
