We've eaten here several times. Until the last visit the service was always great. This time not so good. The first thing the waitress asked after we sat down was "are you ready to order". Who teaches servers these days? When we're going to spend $$$ on dinner we expect to be wined and dined not turned and burned. At the bare minimum drinks first. After saying no to ordering dinner and asking for drinks, we were then asked again to order as soon as the drinks arrived. So much for a casual evening. Owners train your wait staff. No excuses!

Cute little bistro! Be sure to call ahead for reservations, they have very limited seating but it's worth it.

This was a wonderful surprise. A quaint little bistro with SERIOUSLY good food. Soup of the day was great. Elk medallions were superb. For anyone visiting town who cares about food, this is the place to go. Well Done in every way.

It’s quite pricey for the service. The location is great, right in the heart of the city. But we were disappointed by the fact they didn’t give bread, even with soup. Which was new if you compare other Italian restaurants which have house baked complimentary breads. The service was okay.They have vegetarian options too!Vegetarian options: Will find one or two pastas that are vegetarian.

Definitely a mixed bag. The elk medallions are a top choice but the Riley was fatty. Sides are flavorful but small. The ice machine was broken so the drinks were not cold. Serenity's atmosphere lacks charm and private table conversations are non- existent as are conversations from the kitchen.To top things off, the manager, Deanna, told us at the end of dinner that they ONLY accept tap cards as payment before "offering" an ATM or leaving behind my driver's license as alternative payment options. She finally contacted someone to unlock their system to enter the payment details manually. What a deplorable ending to our anniversary dinner.

Ordered the vegetable pesto pasta (chef’s kiss), and my partner got the stuffed pork chop which he liked. But honestly, I can’t stop thinking about their homemade balsamic vinegar dressing which you can choose. I would’ve bought some to take home, but they didn’t have any containers. I was devastated. Next time we go to West Yellowstone, I’ll be inquiring ahead of time to get some of that dressing.

This was the worst dining experience we had all weekend! No ice for water or soda had the buffalo pasta no sauce on it at all and also had pork porterhouse. It was not a porterhouse it was a pork chop mashed potatoes had no seasoning at all.

Best little Bistro in town! If you're passing through West Yellowstone, Serenity Bistro is one of the top restaurants in town. They are consistent with their home-cooked bistro meals. I highly recommend the trout piccata! It is flavorful and the light. The salads are always fresh, and the staff is always so warm and welcoming. If you have a party larger than three people, please be advised that this Bistro is quite small. The service is very good, however if you have a larger party and there is a wait, you may be stuck waiting a little bit longer. The food is definitely worth it especially if you're staying a few days in town. Serenity Bistro is a must.

Nice quiet family owned restaurant. Water was very nice. Wife & I both had the Idaho Trout & it was very good. Found pricing to be very reasonable compared to our experience in Jackson. Would definitely eat here again.

This place is pretty popular in west Yellowstone. The food is pretty good but service is superior than the food. We had chicken dinner with seasonal vegetables. Chicken was quite delicious but the vegetables were a little undercooked. It is as if the vegetables came from a bag.Our server was very friendly which is always nice.The ambience is good but felt a bit congested.The prices are a little bit on the higher side.Overall a very good experience. Thanks.
This restaurant is an Amazing Gem in WYS. The Hospitality by Ramona from the first call to 5 nights of dining, she was on point every night , with service and the Food was Full Flavored, believe by her Chef sister. Very Special people doing special things through Food & Hospitality. Hard to find these days..Keep it Up. See you on our next trip.

My husband and I loved the food, atmosphere and service at Serenity, a family owned and operated Bistro. The trout piccata and streak were delicious!

Not impressed. Salad that came with entrees was tiny. Bread is extra $4.50. Trout was tasty (actually half a trout). Couscous was not warm. I forget the exact price but around $25. Husband got chicken panang. Sauce was good. The cubed chicken was odd and the noodles were wheat not rice. It needed broccoli or something. On top of that, there is a 2% charge to use a credit card. We won’t go back.

Despite the rough edges of the dining room the two Romanian sisters are striving and succeeding in raising the bar on excellent food.The Elk Medallions, the unprepossessing potato and beef soup, the rainbow trout were all prepared to perfection. You will not be disappointed.
Food was okay, nothing special. Atmosphere was dingy, dining room is small. We asked to substitute the regular salad with Caesar and waiter stated there would be an up charge, which was fine, but when we received the bill, it included a $9.50 uncharge for each salad. I think there are better options in West Yellowstone to explore.
