View was gorgeous. We're staying at the Del and this was our first time dining at Serea. My fish was slightly overcooked and the drinks were average. My husband enjoy his filet but the brussel sprouts were overcooked too. For the price, we won't be going back.
Brett was an exceptional server and along with Rafa made our special occasion truly memorable! Brett was very knowledgeable about the menu and provided thoughtful suggestions
Prices very high. $75 for Red Snapper. Mezze plate was not worth $30. Calamari was very good. Took over an hour to get us our lobster rigatoni. Service poor
Everything was wonderful. Thank you for helping us celebrate my parents 55 year anniversary!
Our server Missy was exceptional - attentive, friendly, and truly deserving of recognition. She made our dining experience wonderful and deserves the highest praise. Unfortunately, our experience with the host was disappointing. I had made a reservation over a month in advance specifically requesting outdoor seating to enjoy the sunset. When we arrived on time, the host informed us that no outdoor tables were available and asked us to return in 20 minutes. We waited as requested, but upon returning, she again claimed no tables were ready despite several clearly empty outdoor tables. When I politely inquired about the available tables, her response was unprofessional: “Fine, I'll seat you there, but it's reserved for someone else.” Her dismissive attitude and poor problem-solving approach were particularly concerning given her role as the first point of contact for guests. While Missy's outstanding service saved our evening, the initial experience with the host was frustrating and detracted from what should have been a seamless dining experience for guests with confirmed reservations.
The best part is the location. Food not worth price. And they don't advertise prices anywhere before you sit down. Not a lot to chose from unless you want to eat meat or fish. Somethings didn't even taste good. Waiter was friendly and nice. -ambiance was very nice
Took a very long time to get dinner, actually making us late for an appointment due to a “miscommunication” in the kitchen. Swordfish tacos were not very good, overall expensive for okay food and not a great experience.
Beautiful setting, accommodating and good service and well prepared food. Is pretty expensive ... but if you know ahead and is ok, then what the heck! 😎
The food here was delicious and the cocktails were great.
Katie made me a great old fashioned.

We chose Serea to celebrate our anniversary after reading glowing reviews, especially about the seafood. As someone who truly appreciates a well executed seafood dish, I came in with high hopes.. but unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite live up to the hype.
Of the 6 dishes we tried (octopus, sea bass, beet salad, seasonal vegetables, frites, and hummus—not including the crème brûlée for dessert) none stood out as exceptional. Order the octopus, it’s very tender and the best thing we had that evening. The sea bass, which I had most anticipated, was surprisingly bland. The beet salad had such an overpowering flavor profile that it was difficult to enjoy. The vegetables were entirely unmemorable. The hummus was good, and the frites were decent, but neither left a lasting impression. We also ordered a bottle of Terlato Pino Grigio, again, disappointing. Serea should select a better PG to offer guests.
One highlight of the evening was the terrace seating, which offered a beautiful view overlooking the lawn and the ocean. It really added a special touch to the atmosphere and made for a lovely setting.
For a meal that totaled nearly $500 with tip, the quality of the food simply didn’t justify the cost. Based on our experience, I wouldn’t recommend Serea to friends if food is the main focus of their visit.
That said, our server, Sean, was outstanding. He was warm, professional, and attentive without ever making us feel rushed or pressured. Truly A+ service, and one of the high points of the evening.
Good food and drinks. Service was good. The view is nice.
Least friendly, least enjoyable place in the resort. The steak was dry and meh. The lobster ravioli seemed store bpight with only a hint of lobster
We went here for my sister’s graduation on 5/18/25. The food was fantastic (we got the tuna, halibut, pork, filet, lobster rigatoni, and chicken) and our server Brett was kind, attentive, and professional. The ice cream dessert that he gave us for my sister’s graduation was delicious! Thank you Brett!
We had dinner there and got poisoned by bad oysters. We let them know that the oysters were bad. Their solution was to bill 145 instead of 165 bucks.
