    What a wonderful overall experience. Our waitress was top notch, and added that it was Xmas Eve right before they closed- she was awesome. I never felt rushed. The food was phenomenal. Only downer is my lamb first came out overcooked but they made me a new one and it was perfectly done. The filet was one of the best my partner ever had. Only downer is the manager didn't come to us to apologize for the overcooked lamb as most places- he did seem out of it and just not very customer friendly/chatty. Wine flights awesome. Meatballs good, truffle risotto top notch. The tiny desserts were a perfect ending to the night. Very happy with this Xmas Eve dinner experience.

    I hosted my company Christmas dinner at Serenas last night. We all had an amazing time. Everything was great from the moment we walked in. We were greeted by the host and escorted to our table. Our server took our drink order, and all the cocktails were delicious. All the food from the appetizers to entrees to dessert were amazing. The decor in there is beautiful and the atmosphere was super fun. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for great food with a great night life vibe

    My daughter loved her 18th birthday celebration at Eden’s and our guests commented on how delicious the food was. The server and I went over all of the the details and everything went very smooth. The ambience was exactly what my daughter had asked for which was a fun place that played music and was pretty to take pictures. I also liked that it has a lounge feel to it but is safe to take kids as well. The DJ kept announcing my daughter and played a birthday song while the servers surrounded her with sparklers. We couldn’t have asked for a better birthday! We will definitely be back. Thank you Eden’s, you surpassed any expectations!
