This is how restaurants are supposed to operate! What a refreshing experience. The staff were amazing and attentive. The food was delicious and reasonably priced for the quality of the ingredients and portion sizes. The drinks were spot on. I wish more restaurants understood that people don’t mind paying for perfection if you can provide it. If you are a foodie, and appreciate the little details, you will love this place. The best part is it’s all for a great cause. Kudos to the owner and the staff. We will definitely be back.

The food was delicious! The trout almondine was perfection with the Peruvian potatoes and the smokey old fashioned was a great way to start the meal. The mission of this place alone makes it worth a visit, supporting recovery from addiction.

Wonderful experience! I've read reviews about this restaurant and their mission and wanted to try it. Everything was awesome! From the gentleman who seated us to the servers, everyone was very professional and attentive. The food was phenomenal! We had the escargot appetizer, a caprese salad and mixed green salad and the trout entree along with seafood pasta. This was some of the best Alfredo I've ever had. It had plenty of shrimp and lobster meat in it. We will definitely go back for the next special occasion!

The staff was amazing from the moment we walked in. Sherry, our server, was so helpful with the menu (I'm chronically indecisive) and very attentive. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We normally don't order dessert, but I'm so glad we made an exception. The crème brûlée and bread pudding were out of this world! We will definitely be back.

The service was excellent with touches of personal highlights from extremely attentive wait staff. We were able to joke and share things like "normal" coffee instead of "regular" versus decaf. Duck'A'LaOrange was superb;flavorful and highly aromatic. The green beans were perfectly cooked, tender yet crispy. I would have liked an option of loaded baked potato. My wife had scallops that had a sear only a super hot pan and a well trained chef can deliver. I have never been able to achieve this as a novice. Nobody can replicate my Makers Mark Manhattan, but they came close. I was thankful we chose this restaurant for our celebration.

We support the mission of Sérénité...this night there were some misses from the temperature of the food (strip steak) to missing an order item ... etc ... we will go back ... but it wasn't the Valentine meal I was looking forward to...

The food was delicious and arrived in a timely manner. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was just right to celebrate our anniversary. We will definitely be returning.

We had our monthly family dinner gathering with eight of us at Sérénité. We all agreed that the food and service were amazing. A fantastic little gem in the heart of Medina. We will be back!Dietary restrictions: My spouse has celiac and they were able to offer a number of gluten free options.

Phenomenal! We celebrated our daughter's birthday by visiting Sérénité for the first time. We WILL be back! Everyone took such good care of us--especially Keith who attended to our special requests (yes, they have gluten free and vegan options) and Jasmine who makes an outstanding bananas foster. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully plated. (I wish I had taken photos of everything. See just the two I got below.) We enjoyed a delightful dining experience made even more special knowing Sérénité's mission. Keep doing what you're doing. You're making a difference!

This place was AMAZING. The service was superb. From the moment we walked in the door, to when we walked out. The food was incredible; it came out hot and perfectly cooked. We ordered escargot for an appetizer, we had never had it before- DELICIOUS. The waiter was knowledgeable, not pushy, timely and very well mannered. We had the pork flank (very tender), oxtail (very flavorful), and duck. This place is definitely a fine dining establishment, so it's a little more on the pricey side. Well worth it tho. French cuisine and atmosphere top notch. Highly recommend this place.

My boyfriend chose this restaurant as our monthly date night destination, since we’ve been recommended to come here quite a few times but always forgot about it - now we regret not coming sooner and will never forget this place!The delicious aroma right inside the door was my first impression and nothing beyond that moment disappointed us. We ordered the calamari, oxtail, and eggplant dishes - truly some of the greatest flavors I’ve ever experienced. I intended to take photos but we scarfed everything down so quickly!Our server Keith was so attentive and kind, and patient with our indecision because everything sounded incredible! The chef himself even came out after our meal and thanked us for our support of the restaurant and talked about our dishes specifically and the care it took to curate the perfect recipe.11/10 recommend this restaurant and ask for Keith as your server.We will definitely be back, and we’re bringing our friends next time!Dietary restrictions: My boyfriend and I didn’t have any, but as we were being seated, one of the first things we were asked was if we had any dietary restrictions - I’ve never been asked that at a restaurant before. Truly remarkable!
