Serra by Birreria Flatiron

The folks at Eataly have created a unique and interesting greenhouse space on their roof that functions as a restaurant, called Amalfi and its current iteration. There are some lovely fake trees with lemons that decorate the space and create a welcoming vibe. Unfortunately, we felt that the prices were very high for what you get, which was mid quality pasta, and small portions. Drinks are fully priced, appetizers are fully priced and while the spaces unique, you are not getting any spectacular views. We had a small group of five people, and we each had one drink, it ended up costing us $75 per person with three shared appetizers among the table. I had low expectations going in, and those expectations were met.

Great atmosphere, prices are on par with other places near by, and good service! Went to the bar area and was happy with the experience. Fun, great drinks. Had a few appetizers which were great, nothing spectacular but still was good! No bar wait time on Friday night to get table or seat, but there were times it got busy in the bar area. I would like to come back for dinner and try an entree!

With no reservations at around 1:30 we went for the high tops at the bar. While they said to go to the bartender to order, one was kind enough to come to us and was very attentive to both us and the bar over the course of the afternoon. Started with the limoncello cocktails— the cucumber one was so refreshing— and the stracciatella with tomato which was delicious. My friend had the avocado toast which was brimming with avocado and I had the prosciutto and melon. The prosciutto was good, the way I prefer it, with a mild flavor, but sliced a bit thicker than my preference. The melon didn’t have quite enough of the rind cut off. Great atmosphere and nice breeze despite the heat of the day— would definitely return.
