The food was fabulous as always!! Love the atmosphere. The wait staff was very friendly but not at all intrusive. Serenade never disappoints.
perfect. everything is so delicious.
Serenade never disappoints! Their COVID protections are excellent and yet there is still a warmth and intimacy to dining there. And the food is perfect - generous portions and creative flavors. Our favorite restaurant in the area and where we return often.
Although it isn't cheap, the food is delicious and the service is top notch. They did an excellent job spacing tables and following covid restrictions to make diners feel at ease.
A total Valentine's day value. A lot of quality food, that was very well prepared (as always) and professional served (also as always). Serenade continues to deliver as a great "special occasion" and high quality food restaurant. Many thanks.
The food was impeccable, as well as the service. The room we were in was very modern and too bright.
Wonderful dessert was fantastic found out later on they have their own pastry chef. I havent been to any resturaunt around here where the dessert is that good!! A must go for dessert lovers
We took our daughter to celebrate her 25th birthday.
Love coming here as the atmosphere and food are always special. This time I have to reduce my review to 4 stars because my food was a tad cold and the portion seemed a bit small for the price this time.
They did a wonderful job helping my wife celebrate her birthday
always phenomenal
It’s a beautiful quiet place to enjoy a wonderful meal with family and friends.
Uber covid friendly with relaxing and cozy atmosphere and outstanding service. Drinks were sublime.
Always has been and remains our favorite gourmet restaurant in NJ or anywhere! James & Nancy do a spectacular job and it shows.
Excellent!!!!!Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. It was a most pleasant dining experience all around. We can’t wait to return as there are so many great menu items to choose from... You have to come back And we will. Great Staff. Very safe also for indoor dining. So no reason to stay home.
Average food , slow service limited menu option for dinner
Saturday night was our first Indoor dining since March! We have enjoyed serenades take out over the past months and 2go cocktails - but decided we needed and were ready to get out. We felt so comfortable the tables were spaced out with great dividers and precautions. The waiters are so knowledgeable and friendly. The food was exquisite - we started off with the octopus and the melt in your mouth short rib tortellini appetizer - to die for! I loved the swordfish w lobster risotto - huge portion- so good. My guy had filet mignon and loved it he’s a discerning steak lover- this ranks up there w the best. We didn’t have room for dessert so we ordered it to go since it looked so good. Great vibe, excellent food much needed date night - felt like a real person again.
As always wonderful experience. Amazing food and drinks with awesome ambiance. The New Year’s Eve prefixe dinner was excellent!! Still thinking about it days later!
New Years, great food and service
Very well staffed. Felt safe. Amazing food and wine.
The food was fantastic as well as the service!
Very attentive staff. Superb food. Very safe and extremely social distancing indoor dining.
Food and service always excellent, just very expensive.
Bland and uninspiring food. The appetizers took forever and were served cold - we sent them away and the restaurant was kind enough to acknowledge it and replace with a new hot ones and take them of the bill. Overall, despite a hype and high reviews, we are not coming back - the food doesnt worth it.
Serenade never fails to deliver in terms of ambience, food, and service. It has always been a wonderful experience.
Always a good experience at Serenade even during COVID.
We sat inside. The restaurant is clean, socially distanced. Food was delicious.
I loved the place I wish I could have gotten a better place to sit.
Exceptional night out and a truly delightful evening. Exquisite cuisine and superb service.
It felt so normal for once. Although tables were far apart the atmosphere felt busy and normal. I haven't felt this way in a while. It was refreshing. The food was delicious. I ordered tuna tartar and pork. Really excellent choices
This was our second time dining at Serenade, and once again, the food and service were excellent. We ate outside due to the pandemic, and greatly appreciated how they have transformed the parking lot into a lovely outdoor dining space with patio heaters and festive lights.
The octopus appetizer was superb, and we both enjoyed our entrees as well. The wine list is also excellent, and there are some nice selections by the glass. Even though it was a busy night with multiple birthday party celebrations, the service was outstanding once again.
We highly recommend Serenade, and will definitely return.
Serenade, one of our favorite restaurants, has set up a lovely outside dining area with heat lamps. During this pandemic, it has become a favorite outing for us.
There is no place better in this area .
Always a delight , great food , wine and service
The food was exceptional as was the service but my greeting was like warm upon arrival. I also did not appreciate our table for two being so small and in a small corner. Definitely not enough real estate for the price.
Food is reliably delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. And always a good ambiance
Food and service were excellent as usual.
Great dinner as usual, and sitting outside under the tents was perfectly fine. Looking forward to doing it again soon.
Service is always outstanding and food was delicious, though with restriction imposed on them the menu was somewhat limited.
The food at Serenade is outstanding there were many people seated outside we ate inside both were set up nicely
This place always great, this time a cold covid night unfortunately but will continue to support!
Serenade is a favorite for a special night out because almost all nice restaurants in Morris County are delicious, but Italian. Great to have something more creative and unique.
