Northwest Florida diners have benefited many years from Chef Serafin’s talent & efforts in bringing fine cuisine & ambiance to the area. He owned Jamie’s Wine Bar & Restaurant for seventeen years, serving fine-dining menus with a stellar wine list. The Pensacola, Florida restaurant was one of the first in the Florida Panhandle to receive the prestigious Wine Spectator “Award of Excellence” & one of the first to be listed “Top 100 Restaurants” by Florida Trend Magazine with recipes published in numerous journals and cookbooks.

Serafin stayed at the forefront of gourmet dining trends not only in cuisine, but with his wine list as well, creating a unique cellar. Gary’s extensive wine knowledge proved to be the perfect complement to his passion for all types of food, offering paired wine dinners to his loyal clientèle. Eventually he transformed the quiet European-style atmosphere into a bistro environment offering a variety of cuisines, fusion food & unique wines.
