Serena Rooftop

now
Serena layers hot-pink cushions, greenery, and Mexican-Latin cooking over a second-floor terrace that runs from late-morning through the evening. It trades skyline height for garden-party charm.
Go here if
- You want casual groups.
- The most transporting design of the South Beach set.
- You are fine with a more exposed rooftop setup.
Skip if
- Bad weather is likely and you need a covered fallback.
- You want a budget-first night.
Booking reality
Use the official RESERVE link to OpenTable. Hours remain unresolved because the official homepage exposes conflicting generic schema while Rooftop Guide lists restaurant-style hours.

Official source exists, community signal still worth checking.
Hours confidence

Official Serena homepage restaurant schema: Sun-Thu 12pm-10pm; Fri-Sat 12pm-11pm. Note: same page still contains older organization-level 9am-5pm schema, so keep a caveat in QA notes.
Weather caveat
source-backed
Open-air, lush second-floor terrace/patio is a strong clear-evening and brunch pick, but official and directory evidence found no permanent cover, fan, mister, or storm-operability signal. Treat as heat-friendly in shade/breeze but rain-sensitive.
