Wine, cocktails, and food were amazing. Absolutely fresh ingredients and exemplary service. One of the few NJ restaurants that are charging high prices and are actually the same quality as NYC. So worth it for an evening out.

Lovely Mother’s Day brunch! The fixed menu had plenty of options, we especially enjoyed the halibut. The service was warm and welcoming. The restaurant was packed, but we never felt rushed. Beautiful ambiance for a special occasion.

Serenade is a lovely place to dine. The menu is wonderful and presents several options. We ordered the tasting menu with wine pairing. 3 out of 4 courses the wine pairing did not come and had to be asked for. Two came when we were more than half way through the course. When it did come it was poured quickly or a glass was brought out so couldn’t even see what was poured. No demonstration of what it was and no explanation about the wine. Just don’t offer a wine pairing if this is the best you can do! The food was great. Service just not good. For the prices they need to step up the service.

Probably my mistake. Made last minute reservation. Have eaten here many times. Didn’t know Saturday night is a pre fix menu. Had to order way more food than we wanted which obviously drives up the price. In this economy this seems a little crazy but place was busy so maybe I’m wrong. Food was really good and service excellent. Price brings down my rating. Won’t be back in a Saturday. Requiring people to order more than they want doesn’t sit well with me
