"small....very small...fun decor with interesting details. The chandelier over the bar is fabulous. However, the place is very small so you are very cramped and although the music and video's (Saturday Night Fever) playing is very fun, it is extremely loud so you cannot really talk. The food is ok. Interesting menu but food is ok. This is our second time there and we finally decided that we would stop back after eating elswhere to have a drink and listen to the music and people watch."

"Something a little different. It's very small, very loud, but has a fun atmosphere because of the music. The food was pretty good although only Luke warm when served. The meatballs are very good. The food was fresh but drowned in sauces which is unnecessary. The dj played good music but still couldn't drown out the voices of loud long island forty something women, but come to think of it, what can?"

"We had a 9:15 reservation, which we made specifically because we heard there is great music and a lot of fun, that begins around the 9:30-10PM time. The DJ was great and the music was fantastic--excellent bar as well. It was a really fun crowd, where the tables were moved aside and everyone was dancing in this small, cozy restaurant. The food wasn't great--I'd rate it a B, at best. ( Two in our party had the filet of sole and both sent it back.) But it was a fun evening due to the music and crowd. I have to say that the music was quite a bit louder than it needed to be, considering the size of the room. But lots of fun. Great for a special occasion!"

"The quality and preparation of the food was outstanding. We felt a little rushed through dinner but I suspect that because the restaurant is a bit small and they need to turn over tables as fast as possible."

"We ate at Serata on a Saturday as they were just opening at 5pm. The place was empty but they were clearly getting ready for a busy night. The waiter mentioned that the bar gets pretty hopping after 10pm. The veal chop was very good."

"Great food, the best meatballs I've ever had. Only thing I would change is that after 9pm it turns into more a club-like atmosphere. Overall, I would definitely go back."

"Overall a very nice experience, as this was a belated Valentines dinner (4 days later when we both had off). I wasn't thrilled being seated in the center aisle where others coming into the restaurant could "bump" into me. We had any earlier reservation so that only happened once. The food was quite good, but pricey- however we knew that going in. I did not think the appetizer was amazing (Brocolli rabe) which my wife and I shared, and was over priced. The salads and entrees were excellent, both hers and mine, as was dessert. Not a big deal, but I do not think my wife's sodas should have been charged for refills. I mean come on, when you are paying $150 for a meal I think a small glass of coke should be refilled for the customer."
