Serafina opened its doors in 1991 as an intimate neighborhood restaurant located along Eastlake between the University and Downtown. Its intimate, sultry atmosphere, outdoor garden seating and its authentic Italian cuisine make it a favorite with diners from around the Puget Sound and beyond. Serafina's philosophy is simple: Offer the freshest, highest quality ingredients, present the food in an honest and inviting way, and provide the casual warmth and soothing ambiance that echoes the welcoming embrace of an Italian home.The ritual of coming together sharing wine and food with family and friends is the central motif in our lives. Italian food has an immediacy, honesty, and warmth; it possesses the spirit of a grandmother's wisdom and love. Italian food isn't about trailblazing alchemy or edible high fashion; Italian food is about staying connected—to each other, to the past, to the earth.

Waiters were nice, and attentive. It got busier as the evening got busier. Happy hour menu is still kinda pricey but the food is good. Very little in the shrimp lettuce wraps though.

We had a wonderful afternoon tea at the Queen Mary with a group of friends celebrating a birthday. It was delicious, as always, and the service was especially good. Kudos to the Queen Mary! I grew up overseas and attended a British boarding school with tea every day, so I have high standards. The QM never disappoints. In fact, I’ve had tea at the Four Seasons in DC and in Seattle, tea at Bouchart Gardens in Victoria, and tea in Hong Kong at the Penninsula (back in the day) and none of them were as good as Seattle’s Queen Mary. It is one of my favorite places.
