Came back to Serena Rooftop for a night visit and loved it! Martina, the host, recommended a cocktail (photo-worthy!) and it was spot on. The vibe at night is great and they even have a good light dancer that adds to the experience.

Really great dinner on Miami Beach. Bryan and Jeffrey behind the bar were great. Very attentive, good suggestions, and made amazing cocktails. Would definitely recommend and return.

Weather was 'cool'. Not fault of the restaurant but not enough heaters. There is very little 'Mexican' about this venue which is why we booked it.

Admittedly, I was feeling a bit underwhelmed by my experience at the Moxy due to normally staying at a Waldorf or Four Seasons for my hotel accommodations. That said, my visit to their rooftop restaurant, Serena, completely shifted my views. My server, Anthony K, was the true definition of exceptional customer service. He informed me that he normally works at the neighbouring pool but was offering his support at the restaurant, so I consider myself incredibly lucky to have been in his presence. Anthony is the definition of excellence and I couldn't have asked for a better experience during my solo trip to Miami—he made me feel right at home. A+ service!

The food was delicious and the service was great. I thought the pricing was somewhat high for the smaller portions you received. But overall, a nice experience.

Tonight I stopped by Serena Rooftop for some drinks and appetizers. We were warmly welcomed by the hostess Martina and the bar staff. Everything was delicious and the music was great. The weather was beautiful. We'll be back.

Today I went to Serena for drinks and Martina very kindly directed us to the bar and recommended the ceviche. The atmosphere was lovely and the music was good. We liked it so much that we'll definitely go back.

Visited Serena Rooftop with a date. Unfortunately, the service fell far short of expectations. After ordering four drinks and appetizers (about $150 before tip), the staff became noticeably dismissive and we were abruptly rushed out immediately after paying.
Given that it was a slow night, the service felt especially unprofessional. The experience didn’t match the price point or the hospitality standard I’m used to. We won’t be returning.
Disappointed in the service. Stopped to get a drink and decide where to next and it took 1.5 hours to have 2 drinks and they brought the check after close. It was not busy. The drinks were okay, not great or anything special to visit. The music was loud but upbeat. We are guests of the hotel and our first night here. It was not busy and we were sat looking at a wall of the hotel windows. It almost felt like we were inconveniencing them. By the time we got the check to leave we decided to just go to bed - which the rooms here also are a huge disappointment. Separate review for that. In short unless it’s your birthday and you want a sparkler just keep going you didn’t miss anything. Oh and rooftop is 2nd floor 🙄

Been here a few times now, I've always just walked in during happy hour and had no problems being seated. I prefer sitting at the bar, but there are lots of tables to accommodate all group sizes. As expected with a rooftop you are subject to the weather of the day. Service has always been great here, your glass is always full. The margs are good and so is the sola pero acomponada (if you like mezcal). For food we had chips and guac, some tacos, and nachos. Didn't particularly like the tartare tacos, but everything else is great!

Our table of eight ordered enough pitchers of margaritas to the point that we were pretty sure we tried all the flavors.
Our server was attentive and kind. Staff were cool with some last minute headcount changes. Though there were some confusion towards the end. NBD TBH
DJ LaTrice (look her up) was dropping atmosphere-appropriate bangers all night long and was an absolute vibe. She needs to DJ every meal I have.
We ordered about a third of their entire menu. Almost everything was very good.
My salmon came out perfectly medium rare with a nice crust.
Portions kind of small for chips, guac, and salsa, eve for nicer establishments like this one.
It’s open air so keep that in mind. They have some fans.
A fire dancer came out mid dinner and was a complete spectacle. She gave attention to all the tables especially ours. Mesmerizing experience.
Keep in mind there is a $60pp minimum. They take a deposit. Our group of 9 hit $1000 all in.

Overall, great atmosphere. Food excellent. Price is a bit over the top but probably in line for Miami.
