After discovering the opportunity to purchase Giorgio's Grill, which was formerly known as Joe Sonken's Gold Coast Restaurant, they transformed it into GG's Waterfront Bar and Grill. Since 1985, they have been devoted to the creation of exceptional food and dining experiences, which has been the driving force behind the development of this chef-centric, high-energy concept. Customers and restaurant critics have praised the couple's complete renovation of the interior and exterior of the building, as well as the addition of a new prep kitchen and a menu featuring locally sourced ingredients. The Serafinis strive to provide a warm and welcoming environment as well as exceptional customer service that makes each and every guest feel special. As a result, GG's has emerged as a must-visit destination for tourists and locals alike, and has established itself as a standout restaurant that has raised the bar in the South Florida dining scene.
