Excellent customer service and great food.

I can not express my gratitude and happiness with your catering for my Dad’s 93rd birthday! Everything was delicious, well identified in your trays and visually, just beautifully done. Everyone commented on how delicious the food was. Thank you again!!

Last night we held my mother in laws 90th birthday party here and it was amazing! Ariana and Alyese (spelling might be wrong) were awesome and very attentive. Every person in our party raved about the food and the place. I highly recommend this restaurant for any major event!
PS Ariana thank you so much for ALL of your help planning this, your service was nothing short of spectacular ❤️.

Wonderful server/ bartender but the food was very okay. My partner got the pasta fagioli and said that it didn’t have much flavor. We just wanted a quick bite and it was honestly just stuff we could’ve made at home. I got the watermelon lemonade with vodka which was good. It’s very nice the interior and a nice spot to grab food but I don’t know if the food is that worth it

I thought hard and clear about writing this review. Here goes.
I take my wife out for a great lunch on Sundays after church every weekend. We decided Serafino's. Nice place, looks high end so we expected top quality cuisine. My wife's selections in appetizers and entrains were fine. My entry was Veal layered with eggplant and sauce. After my second bite I realized the Veal was spoiled. It taste was sour, bitter and slimy. Honestly, it was pretty bad. The restaurant just opened and we were the first customers. I broke my rule on dinning out that prevents this sort of event. My rule I had broken is, Don't be the first customer at a restaurant because you will be given the old saved food from the night before. But this wasn't the issue. For the Veil to be that rotten and spoiled had to be saved for quite some time. How could such a professional cook not know the food in his kitchen was not fresh? Serafino's has a mastery of food preparation and the cook is very good as the dish was delicious. Quite honestly I am pretty upset that I was fed spoiled food and consumed it. I'm pissed!!
I can't believe I actually paid for my wife's lunch while knowing my lunch was destroyed. I just didn't want to over react and be disrespectful. I feel like a fool.
Thanks for reading.

I’ll start by saying this is not the 1st time I’ve had issues. Seems orders are always missing something. I don’t feel as though I should have to empty take out bag when handed to me to double check order after they read order to you as your checking out and is correct. Chicken Caesar salad no”chicken” ! This was one of the issues , always seems short of salad for purchased dinners. Each dinner comes with a salad or soup. Linguine & clams dinner came with 4 clams not even opened which makes the freshness questionable ! WHY would you serve that. Appetizer missing from order and the offer was you can come back and get it or we can give you credit seems to be the fix. I do feel the restaurant good but attention to food prep and filling orders needs help.

Recently ordered trays of food for a party. Ordering and pick up were very easy and the food was very tasty. Our guests raved about it. Made for an set up so we could enjoy ourselves. Pricing and quantity was comparable. Will certainly use them again in the future!!

Tried for first time on 8-2-25. There was 6 of us for dinner. The apps and meals were very good for everyone. The odd things were because of a show at Oakdale that night they don't have there full menu. If you saw their website and wanted something from there they said we might be able to make it if we have the products in house. Then for their salads no choice of dressing just one. Again because of the show and how busy it gets. Two waitresses took care of the backroom. Our main one was very good but the other was out in left field. Three times she came to our table with food and asked if it was our food. When paying for something you shouldn't be limited to things like smaller menu or no choice in other things. When making reservations you should be told of these things in advance. They know ahead about the shows so what's the problem.

Food was great. We had it delivered to the winery in town. The UBER Eats driver led us on a wild goose chase for the food. We retrieved it and the food was delicious.

I have eaten from here 2 times so far - once in house and once through takeout. The food was excellent, the service was great, and the prices very reasonable. I will be eating here again.
