We hosted a funeral luncheon with Bar Sera and it was the perfect venue for our group of about 30. Great ambiance, great food, and attentive servers. Thank you for accommodating us and the great hospitality !

A quaint but very tastefully decorated neighborhood eatery. The gorgeous front door hints at the attention to detail practiced by the owners. Well done.

On 11/18/2025, at approximately 5:43PM my girlfriend and I, traveled from out of town to Bar Sera for a casual date night. The food photographs online looked delicious so we felt the effort required by their location and parking situation would be well worth it. However, upon our arrival, I observed the front door closed with a posted sign stating: “Bar Sera Closed for a private event Please see bartender for all takeout orders”. With no advance notice online, prior to our arrival. We left in disappointment and our evening unexpectedly disrupted. Due to this, I am unable to give a complete review on their service and atmosphere.

I had pizza from here tonight. It was the saltiest dough I’ve ever had, to the point where it wasn’t edible. Not sure if it was a bad batch of dough or what. It’s a shame because it was light and airy — it would have otherwise been great if it weren’t so salty.

WOW. How do we thank you? Y’all are a refuge in a storm. We just flew in from out of town & found out our Airbnb was flooded. WHERE DO WE GO?! WHERE DO WE STAY?! Bar sera was a sanctuary for us. The staff was beyond hospital to my husband, myself & two daughters. The food was UNREAL. Nutritious & delicious. We dined outside which was CLUTCH with kids. Give it a go. 10/10!!!

Pizza was delicious. Beer was good. A bit loud, but otherwise would highly recommend.
Food smelled great and drinks looked yummy. Unfortunately, before we could even grab anything the bartender approached us rather hostile with her words asking us to move, and most definitely wasn’t interested in finding a way for us to enjoy the bar. No problem moving around, but maybe don’t take out your bad day on paying customers. We were just happy to leave before paying/tipping.

Great spot for lunch, has space for a venue (i.e. Baby Showers) and a wine shop. Can't wait to go back for dinner.

Pretty disappointed.
For dinner we had the arancini, the broccoli caesar salad with chicken and the Elm Street Pizza. And complimentary bread.
Starting with the bread, two wedges of what looked like Focaccia but it had too much rise and was pretty dry. Idk if it was over proofed or under hydrated but it missed the mark. It was seasoned with rosemary and thyme I believe, with salt. But it was served with a sweet butter spread that tasted a bit like it was honey butter but also didn't quite make it. Texas Roadhouse has better and it didn't make sense with the savory bread we got.
The appetizer, arancini. The rice was a good texture but otherwise pretty bland. Idk what type of stock they use but it kinda tasted like better than bullion and it was that yellow color you'd expect. No other filing just rice. The coating tasted off, not sure how to explain it. Maybe it was the oil maybe there was something weird in the dredge but just wasn't quite right. And sauce, the guajillo aioli, was not it. Idk about this one either, it left a weird taste in my mouth. Almost like a polymer or something. Wasn't spicy and didn't have any obvious flavors. Again rather bland.
I had the Elm Street Pizza. For the almost $30 you spend on the large, it was wildly underwhelming. Nothing special about all the components. Pesto, cheese, and tomato sauce, nothing really stood out. That pizza was prob worth maybe $5 of ingredients. Idk if any of that was house made. You could tell me it was all jarred sauce and pesto. The crust was good, the pizza was at least cooked with for a Detroit style. The dough had a good texture. Springy, had a good bite, but even that I didn't love. It was salty and heavily buttered. I feel like that was doing a lot of the heavy lifting. The paper it was served on had sucked up a lot of that oil.
The Dean machine salad. Alright but just a glorified broccoli salad, just with a caesar twist. Couldn't put my finger on this one either but even the dressing was off a little bit.
And then we get to the over all price. I spent $110 and nothing was impressive enough to justify that. The pizza was why I wanted to go but that was the most disappointing. It was plain and wildly average especially for the price. That's would feel right at home for $18 at a corner pizza place. Really crazy to charge almost $30 for that. I mean this place is nice looking but the service was slow even tho they were very nice. And the noise, very loud, could barely hear my gf right in front of me. It's like these places always forget about sound dampening.
Conclusion. Unbelievably mid and wildly over priced. Everything was too salty, nothing hit the mark. If I'm spending over $100 at your restaurant without even getting alcohol or dessert, you better be knocking my socks off and this wasn't even close. Expected better.
