*Beef Wellington

This place was really pretty on the inside. With all of the historic buildings in medina, it did not disappoint. Our servers were very nice and informative. We made a reservation in advance. The smoked salmon canapé's live in my mind. I wish I could eat them again and again. Everything else was delicious as well. As someone who loves cheese, the selection they had for the fromage was wonderful. We love sage derby cheese!

Tried this place out for Valentine's Day. We did the 4 course tasting menu. I started with a spinach and strawberry salad. It was sparse on the strawberries and almonds. Second course was artichokes that were wonderful. Third course was sirloin and lobster. Sirloin was very undercooked for the temperature I requested. Dessert was crème brulee that was great. My husband got the Caesar salad for first course which he enjoyed. Stuffed peppers for second course that were okay. Same third course. Fourth course was a chocolate duo which was his favorite course.

Who'd have thought? Mom and I are in Medina, OH and we found the BEST RESTAURANT EVER!!!! More than just the food, which was amazing!!! The culture, respect amongst staff, mission and the positive energy was palatable. We stopped in early, before opening, they let us in for a quick glass of wine and we met Rick the manager, Todd the chef and Lily the hostess. Made a reservation for about an hour later and then checked into our Bed and Breakfast next door. We had no idea what we were about to experience. This evening was amazing!! We started with the Ginger/Pear Martini (Le Poire Petillant) and shared the crab stuffed calamari. Then split the beet salad which which was deliciously, bity with the balsamic dressing and paired beautifully with the Malbec red wine that was next in line. The star off the show was the entrée which was ostrich steak, surprisingly similar to beef, as it is a red meat, and amazingly better than one would ever believe, served with a mix of root vegetables in a unique red wine reduction glaze on top. Last but certainly not least was the table side Cherry Jubilee we decided to crown with the Magic Rabbit Espresso Martini. https://sereniterestaurant.com

Chocolate Duo

Always a good spot for a special dinner, date night with you and your loved one or a date night with friends. Took my girlfriend here for the first time. Let them know ahead of time that it was her birthday. We had reservations at 730 and we were almost late due to getting a flat on 71 but they were very accommodating. The hostess greeted us and wished her a happy birthday as well as the server and GM. She got the scallops and I got the elk loins. Both dishes were excellent. We also got the salmon canapés for an appetizer and it was delicious. The drinks were great too. For dessert she chose the chocolate duo and they put happy birthday around the plate. Restaurant has a great concept and great food. Bring your wallet but I can tell you, the food is worth it. We will definitely be back.

Beef Tartare

I meant to write this review months ago, but I never really go on Yelp to write a review because I feel word-of-mouth travels better. This is one of the best experiences I've had as far as service goes everybody I encountered was so kind and knowledgeable with the food and drinks. I had been meaning to check this place out for about a year or so, but didn't really have the time. Wow am I happy that I did. I love the aim that the restaurant represents. The concept is just straight hope and creativity and personally I feel a lot of establishments lack both. I was also able to try steak tartare for the first time in my life something that seemed so illusory to me I have to give special credit to the owner for making the experience one of the best I've ever had.

Salad with beets
Joanne K.

Great place! Great service! Nice selection of food! I was there for lunch and the French onion soup is very good! I had a salad with beets on it. Excellent! I also had a quiche like dish! Very good! This is basically a French type restaurant and very good! My friends like it, too!

Entrance

Both my wife and I are big fans of Brandon Chrostowski and all that he is trying to accomplish with his "Pay It Forward" concepts and programs. We've followed him from L'Albatros to Edwins and now on to Serenite. We were a bit delayed in celebrating our anniversary this year (it is in August!), but agreed that this was the right spot to try and celebrate it in style. The staff and service were delightful, attentive and helpful. The restaurant manager came over to greet us during a lull, and ended up helping my wife choose a bottle of wine to go with our expected meal selections. It turned out to be an excellent choice! The meal started off with a basket of complimentary (warm) bread and butter while we sipped our wine. That was followed shortly by a side salad we chose to split. The salad with sherry-hazelnut vinaigrette was light and bitey (due to the dressing). Next, the main dishes came out. The moules frites I ordered had the mussels (in a white wine butter sauce) served separately from the crispy fries. No matter, I dipped when necessary. The portion size of this dish was outrageous! Not sure I've ever seen that many mussels on a plate, but could not stop eating them drenched in that delicious buttery sauce. My wife's hanger steak was cooked a perfect medium-rare and the Diane sauce (demi-glace with mushrooms, brandy and cream) was divine. She ordered the French mac-n-cheese as her side, and with its fontina and vacherin cheeses it was one of the best "adult" varieties we'd ever had. For dessert, we shared two dishes...the bananas foster (made table side) and the beignets with a trio of dipping sauces (caramel, chocolate and raspberry coulis). My wife thought the bananas foster was better than any we'd had in New Orleans, and the production put on to make them in front of you is fun and interesting to watch. The beignets themselves were on the small side, but they were served warm with plenty of powdered sugar. As for the dipping sauces, go with the raspberry coulis. Going in I would have said either the caramel or chocolate, but the tartness of the raspberries pairs so well with those fried pillows of goodness. Yum yum!!! After the meal, they even brought us each out a small glass of Prosecco (with a candle attached to each) in celebration of our (belated) anniversary. It was a lovely touch. I am hopeful that Serenite continues to do great things (inside and out of the restaurant) and word spreads so that they continue to thrive. Keep up the good work, team!

Nice restaurant, excellent attentive service. Maybe a little too attentive? At one point, I felt the servers' constant checkups a bit overkill. Better than being ignored, I suppose. We had the pumpkin soup which had a thick applesauce consistency, which was odd, but flavored nicely with fall spices. It could have used something salty...like some roasted pepitas maybe. My vegan gnocchi was okay. Loved the flavors and the fact they offered a vegan dish, but found the texture squishy. Gnocchis could've used a sear in the frying pan maybe. The escargot...again...okay. There seemed to be quite a bit of parsley (or maybe it was oregano?) which overpowered the dish. We were pretty disappointed in our wines and probably my should've asked for a taste before ordering. That would be my advice to anyone: sample the wine before ordering. Overall, we had high expectations, with Sérénité being a French restaurant and all...and while we had super friendly servers, we weren't blown away by the food. Not to say we won't be back...I'd give it another chance. The menu looked quite interesting!

It was a very cool experience. Price was high, but worth it because it's not an everyday place to eat. It's a special time place to eat.

This was the perfect spot for our girls night! Everything was delicious but the favorite dish of…read morethe night was definitely the cauliflower with kimchi! The drinks were strong and I liked that you could try a small pour of multiple wines. The bar is stunning and as an avid cheetah print lover I had to snap a pic of the adorable bathroom that was also very clean and well stocked. Can't wait to come back in the summer to enjoy the patio! The parking lot is shared and on the tighter side but we were able to snag a spot no problem! We will definitely be back!

Fantastic Wine Bar Experience in Rocky River!…read more My girlfriend and I visited this past Sunday in the mood for charcuterie and wine, and everything was excellent. We both ordered the Moscato, enjoyed a charcuterie board with a delicious selection of meats and cheeses, and each of us had a bowl of their soup of the day - roasted red pepper soup. Everything was perfectly prepared and flavorful. During the holidays, the wine bar transforms into the Nutcracker Wine Bar, and it's tastefully and beautifully decorated. The shelves above the bar are adorned with nutcrackers, and the ceiling is covered with big, stunning gold ornaments--it's a magical, festive atmosphere that makes the experience even more special. This spot is a must-visit for a relaxing afternoon of great food, wine, and holiday charm--we'll definitely be back!
