Visited Seraphine for our anniversary. Such an incredible experience. Our anniversary was acknowledged by each server that we encountered which was a nice touch. Our waitress was lovely and attentive. She provided incredible recommendations and was very knowledgeable of the menu. We had drinks, starters, main courses and desserts. Only areas of improvement would be the lack of vegetable options on the menu and Cavatelli. It was extremely oily. Beyond that, everything was great! -
Ok, where do we begin? Oh, 10/10 RECOMMEND!! Seriously everything was great, literally. The location, the ambiance inside (features outside dining as well), the service, the drinks, and the food have me committed to taking another 3.5 hr drive to dine again! I must go again and again lol. I tried oysters and rabbit for the first time, they were both great. I'm not sure what else I could add aside from; take my advice and try this restaurant for a fabulous dining experience. Even the other patrons were friendly and sociable, probably because the restaurant is just that good 😊

Very easily the best restaurant we've tried in Durham, and maybe the best meal I've had at a restaurant so far. Everything we had, from the baked crab dip, to the cavatelli with rabbit confit, to the blackened redfish with crawfish etouffee was genuinely amazing. Tieara was our server, and she was extremely knowledgeable, kind and funny. And the atmosphere was laid back but really pretty on the inside. This not only lived up to the hype, but exceeded. We'll be back!

Wish I could do 3.5 stars. My boyfriend and I had a mixed experience with the food, but there were definitely some highlights!
We really enjoyed the broiled Drago’s style oysters and the croquettes, both were delicious. My boyfriend also enjoyed the gumbo, although he wished it had a little more celery/freshness and a bit more spice.
We also tried the crab dip, but unfortunately ours wasn’t quite right. It came out extremely lemony with no spice, almost like a creamy lemon cheese dip. We ended up sending it back, and our waitress let us know that the chef tried it and agreed that it definitely wasn’t supposed to taste that way. So hopefully ours was just an off batch and others have a better experience with it!
For the catfish, we both felt the fish itself could have used more seasoning, but my boyfriend really enjoyed the rice and beans that came with it.
The beignets were probably our biggest disappointment. They were very dense rather than having that light, airy texture we typically expect from beignets, and the batter itself didn’t have much flavor.
The key lime pie was decent, nothing bad, but it didn’t particularly stand out either.
Our waitress Tee was great! She was attentive, friendly, and took the time to go over the menu with us. Definitely a shoutout to her for making our experience better!
As for the atmosphere, a little tight but we really enjoyed it. The restaurant has a very nice ambiance, and even the bathroom was beautiful and well done.
Overall, there were some hits and misses with the food, but the great service, atmosphere, oysters, and croquettes were definitely the highlights of our visit. -
While the food was pretty good, it truly lacked the depth of flavor and spice you get while actually in NOLA.
We came the night we got married and the "on the house dessert " they gave us was an unsweetened scoop of whip cream. While that it was a cute gesture, it was odd that it was not sweetened.
