Hard to get a table so call ahead! Food & cocktails were devine.Top notch service, lovely decor & vibe.

Serliana hasn't been on my list of places to visit for very long, but it turned out to be the perfect pick for our recent overnight stay in Downtown Indianapolis. It is conveniently located on the 2nd floor of The InterContinental hotel. The host stand for the restaurant is located directly across from what appeared to be the guest check-in desk. It was a little confusing. Several of the items on the menu were very appealing, the B&B Omelet, Croque Monsieur, and Ribeye French Dip to name a few, but I opted for the Little Gem Caesar with Blackened Salmon. My husband ordered The Traveler with eggs over-medium. Everything was perfectly prepared. The proportions for the salad were just right and the salmon was juicy, flavorful and crisp from the blackening. My husband wasn't expecting the somewhat unique preparation of the breakfast potatoes, but I found them to be satisfyingly crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I also ordered the seasonal Strawberry Margarita with a sugar rim. It was light and refreshing. The atmosphere is very chic, stylish and feels very upscale. The dining room, and even the restrooms, boast this amazing natural light from all of the great, big windows! Our server, Roop, was kind and attentive and the hostess was warm and inviting. We will definitely return to try some of the other offerings in the future. Very cute brunch spot! read more

Wow, a very nice place for brunch. Service was also great too. I had the Steak and eggs (added 2 more eggs) and of all the places we have ever been, this is the only place that got my sunny side up egg that is well done and crispy on the sides. Thank you for that. The steak was well flavored but very small in serving size. And just like any fine dining, serving size matters and that is the only part that wasn't met. Nowadays, price and serving size should be reasonable or proportional as an important part for an enjoyable dining experience. Wifey had the Chicken Salad Croissant. Now the serving size is great. This is how it should be. Overall, the food flavor and taste was great and enjoyable. Ended the day with fresh beignets and man, that's another one that's great in serving size. read more

I was thrilled to see that Serliana serves an afternoon tea on Saturdays and snapped up a reservation on OpenTable as soon as I could. Service started with a tea box presentation of options: 3 black tea varieties, 2 green, 1 white, an oolong and 2 no-caff herbals. The tea box had descriptions and tins of the tea so you could take a sniff at your choices. We opted for the The du Hammam Noir black tea and Bai Mu Dan white tea. Teas were steeped in their individual pots and served with a timer for proper steeping time. After a cuppa or two, out came the trays: a tier of savory finger sandwiches (cucumber, chicken salad, egg salad, and smoked salmon), desserts (raspberry mousse chocolate dome and strawberry princess cake), and pastries (mini scones with strawberry jam, mini macarons, and tartlets). The sandwiches were excellent, but, unfortunately quality went down from there. The desserts were alright (would have loved the raspberry mousse if the dome was dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate) and the pastries didn't have the right texture - macarons were light, but didn't have any chew and the scones were dry. An overall lovely tea experience in a gorgeous hotel with lots of natural light. Highly recommend taking the elevator up to Astrea for a rooftop cocktail afterwards! read more

Outstanding breakfast experience! Laura was our server, but we waited on by multiple staff members and treated so kindly. Laura made us feel special and treated us so well. This space is simply gorgeous. It's a mix of lobby, bar, restaurant. Open, bright, modern, upscale, and comfortable. Many seating options from lounge chairs to couches to intimate tables. We had a small two top for our morning meals and loved it. The vegan options we enjoyed were mushroom toast (no cheese) and the oatmeal. Chef accommodated our plant based diet and we are thankful. I can't speak to the other menu offerings as breakfast was what we enjoyed here, but really can't wait to dine here again. read more

Tried this out for Valentine's Day and it did not disappoint, interesting setting but hey it works and the table was somewhat private and was able to carry on a good conversation, the crab cake was full of lump crab and the pork chop was cooked to perfection. Amazing food and the service was too notch. read more

This place is located on the 2nd floor which is actually the lobby of the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Indianapolis. I made reservations for 6 because I was taking a client for drinks around 4pm on a Thursday. Upon arrival, was greeted and taken to my table. The place is stunning. Very tasteful decor, nice views and good service. The bar has top shelf options and also a really nice selection of coffees and teas. When I arrived there was just one other person there working but once we left it was pretty busy. There was music playing but it wasn't so loud that you couldn't hear the people across from you. I totally suggest you visit if you are looking for a sexy adult setting. Pro Tip: They do have Valet. :) read more

Have been wanting to check out the new Intercontinental Hotel so decided to book a breakfast reservation. When I arrived I was greeted in the hotel lobby and was told the restaurant was on the second floor. The restaurant was beautiful and quiet. I got to select my own seat. The staff were very accommodating and friendly . I ordered a salted carmel iced latte. It was delicious . My waitress recommended the duck biscuits and gravy. It came with breakfast potatoes and choice of egg. The gravy was so rich and creamy. Overall, the food was great! Afterwards I walked around and looked at the art in the hallways. Bellman Jeff was so sweet and gave me a tour of the rooftop bar. The hotel was gorgeous and the staff were so nice. It was a great way to spend a Saturday morning. read more

Went to Serliana for dinner and it was just okay. It's beautifully decorated and the staff was friendly. I made a reservation and confirmed it on OpenTable but they somehow couldn't find it in their system. Luckily the place was empty. We started with the mussels and a Cesar salad. The mussels were fantastic. The salad had a hair too much dressing for our taste. My mom got the duck cassoulet and it was a massive portion and the duck was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend got the pork chop which was cooked very well. I got the rack of lamb and it was extremely disappointing. It was called a rack of lamb but it was only 4 little lamb lollipops.... for $52.. I asked for medium rare and they were barely seared still cold in the center. They were seasoned very well though. The sides are not really shareable. We got the pommes puree and broccolini and could have easily eaten them on our own. They were out of multiple wines on the menu. We ended up spending $250 and for the money I just don't think this was worth it. read more

Swanky small plate and cocktail lounge at the Intercontinental Hotel downtown Indy. Prompt, friendly service. Food was fresh and had some creative options. Cocktails were made very well and tasted of high quality. My girlfriends and I shared some appetizers and did get an entree. Everything was really good. Fun hang out spot. read more

This restaurant is located on the second floor and is actually in the lobby of the Intercontinental Indianapolis or is it the lobby. Either way it is a beautiful setting, with various seating arrangements and a nicely done bar. The name is pronounced Sir-lee-ah-nah, just an FYI and is Italian meaning archway and refers to the architecture of said restaurant. So I was told. You may sit anywhere there are table settings. Within seconds a server will bring you a menu and ask your water preference. It's a small but well chosen menu. And I was impressed by the leather coasters, or pleather, but that was a first for me. Since I was there for just a snack and to check out this new addition to Indy's foodie scene, I opted for the beignets and a glass of Rose Prosecco. This turned out to be a nice pairing with the dryness of the Prosecco offsetting the sweetness of the beignets. The Prosecco was a generous pour and absolutely delightful. Dry, fresh, crisp. An order of beignets consists of 6 large beignets and comes with a vey nice caramel dipping sauce. As a beignet snob these were a tiny bit too dense in the middle, but otherwise great. Just the right amount of powdered sugar with the tiniest crunch on the outside and a warm soft middle. The caramel sauce was perfect and as such quite drippy and sticky. They are delicious but I don't recommend these for a first date though because the powdered sugar gets everywhere and the caramel sauce can easily make for a sticky mess. No way are you going to look alluring eating these. read more
