Sérénité Restaurant & Culinary Institute

I never give a bad review, but the restaurant wasn't even open. They failed to alert OpenTable that they were closed for renovation. Closed. We drove all the way to Medina to find out it was closed on a Sat. night. Just unacceptable.

We made a reservation on Open Table only to find a notice on the door that the restaurant is closed until further notice. It was a good restaurant and we hope it reopens.

The restaurant was closed for remodeling. How could Open Table allow me to make a reservation at a closed restaurant?

Always a Medina favorite........ I've been here at least three or four times and the food is always delicious. The selection is very good as is the service! And the building and the restaurant has such Good vibes... I enjoy just being there!

I really enjoyed our meal at Sérénité. I had the poire martini and the 75. Both were good but I loved the poire martini! We split the artichoke appetizer, the beet salad, the cassoulet, and the creme brûlée. The kitchen divided up the dish into two when they were able which I never expect but always appreciate. The artichoke appetizer was phenomenal. The butter sauce was amazing, I could have eaten a bowl of it. Be aware that the app was one baby artichoke split in half. I don’t know if I would order it again beyond the sauce. The beet salad was huge and enjoyable with lots of beets. The cassoulet was so good. It came with a quarter duck, a sausage, and pork belly. I would order this again and again. The creme brûlée was delicious.

We did have to ask for bread after we overheard it being offered to a table that was sat after us, but I don’t think that is a big deal. I enjoyed the meal and the experience. I would return and recommend.

One of our favorite restaurants in the Cleveland area. Sadly, now closed although they say it's temporary for "restructuring". We'll see how that works out...

This was our first visit to Sérénité. We couldn't of been happier with our visit. Our original seats were closer to the entrance and I knew my wife would be chilled every time the door opened. Moving us was not an issue and we were given a booth that was ideal. Our server Lavala (VAL for short) could not of been sweeter. He took our drink order came back and reviewed the specials for the evening. After our cocktails arrived Val came back and wanted to know if we were ready to order. Usually we like to sit, talk and enjoy our drinks so we asked for him to come back...no attitude like you can get sometimes. We ordered the special soup-amazing, house salad & beet salad. The salads were large and delicious, especially the beet salad. Dinner was a beef filet and a pasta, I had them add shrimp. Both meals prepared perfectly, served hot and also delicious. Truly my wives Filet (medium) was perfectly medium. My shrimp was tender and moist. I wish I could cook shrimp that well!! A perfect date night for two old people.....I'm 70 and my wife is 64. Side note... she's beautiful and looks like in her mid 40's...lucky me. Val thank you for a wonderful evening. We will be back and ask for you to be our server.

Best French restaurant in the area , the chef is outstanding , the food is always on amazing and love the atmosphere

Wonderful first experience! Everyone was so kind and the food was outstanding! Will return!

Great experience! Very quaint atmosphere, and great service! Tried some foods that you normally don't see on American restaurants, and was super impressed! I highly recommend the Rabbit, and the tableside Banana's Foster was incredible! Will definitely be going back again!

Wow! What a phenomenal place to eat!! I went for the first time at 8pm on Feb 13 and there were 2 other tables when we arrived. The service was great, everyone was so friendly. The food was absolutely incredible. We got the calamari, chicken Marsala, braised short rib sandwich, and the valentines dessert (strawberry cheesecake parfait). Everything was exceptional! I was looking into the history of this restaurant and I love what they do to help the sober community. I WILL be coming back!

Serenite' is THEE place for an incredible dining experience! We highly suggest starting with a Cheese Board! Ric does an amazing job with all the cheese and presentation thereof! Chef Todd's peppercorn encrusted pork chop was A+++++ perfect! Although it's very challenging to save room for dessert, the bananas flambe' tableside is well worth feeling full for! It's easy to rave on and on about the food and the staff and the ambience! Before you head out, take a moment to read about the Serenite' story and mission as well. Your dining experience supports the restaurant that supports the recovery community and second chances for a better life. Learn more about Serenite and don't delay--schedule your reservation asap!

We always enjoy this restaurant. It's our favorite! Fancy without being pretentious. Excellent food without breaking the bank (make no mistake, it is a little on the pricey side, but not as bad as other restaurants of the same caliber. Also, there are more affordable items on the menu). I can't say I recommend the flatbread, but otherwise we always have an amazing dining experience here. Be sure to make a Wednesday night reservation for their amazing cheese plates!!

It was a good idea, unfortunately my food was overpriced and burnt. I liked the music.
