Our Valentine's Day experience at Seraphine was exquisite. We were treated to a three-course meal and were served with great care and precision. The meals were cooked to perfection and the ambience was nice, if not perhaps a bit crowded. We would definitely recommend this experience and would certainly visit again!

Me and my girlfriend have dined here numerous times before and decided to celebrate our Valentine's Day here as always it was an amazing experience. The food was great. The service was amazing as always and everyone is always so friendly there I would always recommend making a reservation. Definitely have to get the oysters and the fact menu is so small is amazing it shows that everything is fresh and an amazing quality.

It was a very nice place. Rather small. Food was ok just not the New Orleans experience I thought . Small menu

We celebrated a birthday here - service was amazing and dinner was delicious. We walked away very happy and would go back!

We have been to Serephine many times, but this was our first time sitting in the bar. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was great and of course, the food was delicious! We will probably sit in the bar from now on! I ordered the red drum and it was magnificent! My husband got the catfish and it was equally delicious. We will be returning sooner, rather than later!
Karen
Good food and service. Our drink order was misdirected and received late but they were quick to remedy the situation satisfactorily without our having to request it. No complaints!!
Jennifer
A wonderful meal— every bite was delicious, the cocktails were top notch, the service was flawless.
Christopher
Something different from the normal. Food was delicious. I suggest the oysters and Red Drum.
Elena
SO GOOD !!! Megan is incredible and helped update our reservation a few different times as we had unexpected changes to our party. Our server, Eric, was so attentive and accommodating and made the whole night so special. Such a great experience and even better food. We got a little bit of everything for the table and I don't think anyone could pick a favorite it was all so delicious. I can't wait to go back!

A Disappointing Reality Behind the Hype — Seraphine, January 2026 You said: Seraphine is nestled in a quiet corner of the restored American Tobacco works. While the large terrace is ideal during the warmer months, the interior's moody, sultry ambience is especially intriguing. It's the kind of place where you'll want to sip one of their classic or creative cocktails at the marble-topped bar before dinner. The menu is equally inspired by its location with Southern classics like fried shrimp and broiled oysters vying for attention alongside gumbo and fried catfish. Be sure to save room for the beignets for a traditional treat. Write a review contradicting the above with references as noted below: From a recent visit to the above restaurant January 2026. Yes, the restaurant is nestled in a quiet corner in the American tobacco campus but is extremely hard to find. GPS does not locate the restaurant to its exact location and unless you happen to be a local secondary to new signs being posted around the GPS location you will have difficulty time locating the restaurant. The outside terrace would be wonderful for the warmer months, it is nice looking but not anything unusual. For a Cajun themed restaurant the Interior of the restaurant definitely does not provide a moody, sultry atmosphere as described in the Michelin guide. A Moody and sultry atmosphere would provide dim lighting and dark color palettes which the restaurant does have, which you may also find in any rundown establishment. The must-have for this type of restaurant would be to have some exposed brick and a sense of mystery or emotion as you would find in most restaurants in New Orleans "speakeasy type atmosphere". Additionally, the bar service does not even come close to the carousel bar service in the hotel. Monteleone in New Orleans. The interior is cramped and feels overcrowded and extremely noisy, it made me feel like I was in an airplane packed like sardines. The restaurant was so noisy that it was h
This was my first time at Seraphine. It exceeded my expectation. They were happy to accommodate us sitting inside (I had reserved the patio, but it was cold), the food was wonderful, and the staff were great (personable and thorough). They were sure to ask about food allergies without us even bringing it up. I had the shrimp and grits - very creamy and delicious. We had the artichoke for a starter, and the sauce provided made it very fresh tasting.

The staff was pleasant, helpful and attentive. The food was exceptional. The oysters, shellfish and fish was very fresh. This has become my favorite place to eat.

This place is absolutely incredible from the food to the service. The best Cajun and creole restaurant in NC. It was such a pleasurable dining experience. Don’t miss the oysters!
Gloria
This meal was absolute perfection from start to finish. I can't think of a better place to celebrate a birthday. Food, ambience, service all top notch. My first time here, and I can't wait to go back. Kudos to the entire staff!

Appetizers we got 1. Crawfish and shrimp croquettes 2. Fried oysters The fried oysters were nice, but nothing out of the ordinary. The crawfish and shrimp croquettes were under-seasoned. The sauces were carrying the weight of these dishes. For mains, we got: 1. Fried catfish with rice and beans 2. Blackened red drum, crawfish etouffee, popcorn rice The catfish dish had very little seasoning. Rice and beans had no flavor. There were three tiny pieces of fish. There was more breading than fish. The rice and beans supposedly had smoked ham, but you could not taste that at all. When we went, they ran out of red drum, so we got shrimp as a substitute. Yet they still charged the same amount. This dish was also under-seasoned. Portion size was also very small for the price. Not worthy of being on the Michelin guide in our opinion. There are much better restaurants both in terms of taste and value nearby.
