Had so much fun here! Caught the FIFA matches over drinks and appetizers before heading to dinner. Serena has a really cute aesthetic and a great casual vibe. The servers were incredibly kind and attentive the entire time. Will definitely be back!
Drinks were great, beautiful atmosphere. We ordered an app, that they automatically upcharged with a meat option. I'm not complaining because was good, just beware in case you are a vegetarian.
Very good for a hotel bar! We were staying at the Moxy for 7 days and went up to the bar multiple times for great drinks and delicious food. Bartenders are quick and upbeat. Def a place you want to visit when you’re in Miami or staying at the Moxy! I mean look at this Bloody Mary🤭🙂↕️
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!
Serena is located on the rooftop of the Moxy Miami South Beach Hotel. Take the elevator to the 2nd floor. It is by the beautiful swimming pool. It is decorated with foliage, palm trees, and flowers. The interior is in colors of burgundy, blues, pinks and darker woods. It looks very inviting. Good music and a good mixed crowd. We decided to sit by the pool and the server from Serena waited on us. Her name is Fabiola. She seemed quite busy and kept forgetting to bring us our Margaritas and napkins. We had to remind her a couple of times. I can't say that service was the best but we decided to have a good time anyway. We also ordered the Chicken and cheese quesadillas plus guacamole and chips. They were good but the margaritas bothered our digestive systems that evening and the next day. Everything is ok but we would order something different next time we visit.
