    We enjoyed mixed local greens, the pasta du jour, and a charcuterie with vegan and non vegan options. My husband asked the chef to surprise him with a vegan dinner and it was incredible! Highly recommend.

    Very nice restaurant for a special occasion. A little pricey, but for the excellent service and quality and quantity of the meal, well worth the cost. I will return to dine again.

    This always a great meal and outstanding service. This time, I brought my mom here for my birthday. She was blown away at the entire experience. If you are looking for a great meal, in the restaurant or at the bar for appetizers and a cocktail, this should be one of your options every time.

    Service was fantastic! Everyone was very friendly, and we even enjoyed a complementary beverage to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The food was amazing. Enjoy the wagyu beef flight… Incredible! My husband had halibut that was cooked perfectly. And bananas foster done table side. Highly recommend this place.

    Food and service were great! I ordered the fromage appetizer with four cheeses which was excellent and well-presented. We also tried the ratatouille as an appetizer which was good. For the main course we enjoyed the New Zealand venison and the gnocchi. Both were great. I thought the venison was cooked to perfection. To wrap things up, we went with the lemon panna cotta and the sorbet, which were delicious.

    Serenite offers fine dining in a casual atmosphere. The food was delicious. Our server was nervous but that is to be expected. Serenite serves the community by training people who have struggled with addictions. This was our second meal there and it was a delight to be able to see latest server learn and grow. I hope his experience with us was as great as ours was with him.

    This is the 3rd or 4th time we've visited. And it was another phenomenal evening! We brought another couple with us for their first time and they were equally impressed! ALL of the staff was very attentive. Maybe it's because our table of 4 was pretty much the only table in there for almost the entire evening. But still, a very pleasant experience and all the food & drink was superb! We had a bit of everything... a table full of apps, variety of wines and mixed drinks, main courses, and desserts. Our total time there was probably just around 2.5 hours.

    Everything my table ordered was great; steak, chicken, mac n cheese, peas, EXCEPT my gnocchi. The gnocchi just does not make sense, its is well made but looks like fried larva with its coloring. The components of the dish also don’t make sense. A vegan gnocchi with fresh sage, garlic, and olive oil. Or fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil, its just weird to do a coconut milk base with gnocchi.

    Second time here in a week! Everything was delicious! The mussels, local mixed greens salad, filet mignon and especially the scallops....amazing!! My husband loves the frog legs, I'm celiac so couldn't try those. Not to mention the bananas foster, creme brulee and chocolate duo. I feel like you can't go wrong with anything you order. The staff is awesome as well! The best part is the story behind the restaurant, doing great things here. They are very knowledgeable on food allergies as well. Our new favorite restaurant!
