We celebrated my father’s 56th birthday at Seray and it was one of the best meals we as a family have ever had. As we were sitting down enjoying our meal we were discussing the next time to come back and dine here. Our server, Sam, was incredibly kind, entertaining and joyful. He made our whole experience 10x better. The owner of the restaurant also greeted during and after our meal making us feel very loved and part of the family. The restaurant had a very intimate family feeling to it, making us feel incredibly comfortable and at home while dining there. We will absolutely be dining here again and we recommend that everyone try this lovely restaurant as soon as possible!
