I recently had my engagement party here for a private event & it was absolutely AMAZING ! The food , service , and vibe was a 10 out of 10 . All of our guests raved about the drinks as well . Erol , Mike , and their team are great ! Will definitely be back for dinner and a fun night out .

I don’t know about you but I didn’t know you could find such lovely upscale dining in SI. Went here with a friend and was pleasantly surprised by the classic food and the beautiful ambiance. Staff was so friendly and inviting. My friend got a burger and I got the veggie and both were equally good. Apps were on point and the dessert was fantastic. The bar is so beautiful and a great photo opp too. I can see this being fun to each and game. And they have DJ and dancers at night too!

We came to Serena Bistro with a group of 17 and had an absolutely amazing experience! The pre-fix menu was perfect — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The drinks were also fantastic and complemented the food perfectly.
The service was outstanding from start to finish — attentive, friendly, and accommodating, even with a large party like ours. You can really tell the staff cares about making sure everyone has a great time.
If you’re celebrating with a group and want a place that feels upscale without breaking the bank, this is the spot. We’ll definitely be back!

Atmosphere was nice the food was good and service was great. My only complaint was the seating. I was told the restaurant was booked with reservations when I got to the restaurant at 630 pm on a Saturday. I was seated at a high top table, which I didn’t mind. But after looking around and seeing that the restaurant only had four tables used out of like 20. Needless to say I was a little annoyed. I finished eating and was done by 730 – 740 and there were now five tables occupied. There should be a few tables that are specified for walk-ins before 8pm.

We hosted my son’s baptism celebration at Serena Bistro and had such a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the family-style packages were perfect. There was a wide variety of dishes and everything was a hit with our guests.
The staff was amazing from start to finish. They were super attentive, helped us set up decorations, and were more than accommodating with all of our needs. They really made the whole process easy and stress-free, which meant a lot on such a special day.
Highly recommend Serena Bistro for events or even just a great meal!

Unfortunately, our assigned server ignored us for most of our visit and never really checked in. Thankfully, Crystal stepped up and completely turned the experience around. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed the entire time, even though we were sitting at the bar. Because of Crystal, we were still able to enjoy our meal. She truly went above and beyond, and her excellent service deserves recognition. This is the second time we have been here in that last two-three weeks and she’s been our server.

Hosted my Birthday dinner here a few weeks ago after Serena was recommended by my cousin and I’m so glad i chose to host it here. First off the food and the amount they give you in the family style packages is over the top. The holiday drinks we had tried were delicious , the tall waiter i believe his name was Frank that took care of us was great , the rest of the staff were also very accommodating we had one guest with Gluten allergy and the manager and person who handled the food coming out was on top of this and made sure the guest with the allergy was aware what she could eat . We loved the music and the dancers such lovely vibe . Thank you again all my guests and i cannot wait to come back .

OK, let’s just start from the beginning the place was amazing. The people was working there is also fabulous. My problem was the waitress wasn’t the best. We order the food for my wife and I my wife food didn’t come complete the waitress say my wife say to him to put it on hold and she never said that my food was cold. The first you drink my wife have was amazing so she ordered a second one and it was horrible. We are the sparkling water and he got us regular water. I don’t know why the music was too loud. You can’t hear yourself speaking and at the end, my wife order me a dessert, lava cake I don’t know. How do you call that lava cake. We was looking forward for that date night and it didn’t go. How did we expect it I don’t think so. We will go back there or recommended it to anyone.

Made a reservation for 11 people on Saturday at 7:30 dec 6 . When we arrived we were told at door there was no reservation. So I started to tell the manager that I called days earlier and it was confirmed that they said they had dancers at 9.00 and a DJ at 10.
00 Crazy the manager ask when I called and what time. I told him, when he found it on his caller ID that I actually did call . He started to speak down to me and my party . Not sure why, He didn’t try to help or accommodate us. Just trying to get us out of the way . Good luck with this kind of hospitality there’s a lot of places that would appreciate our business and hold our reservation.
