Sérénité Restaurant

I didn't appreciate being stuffed in a backroom corner. I'm in a w/c and feel that's why we were seated as we were. My meal was good, however my husbands was not. He had chicken marcela and it was not good.

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 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!

We received a Serenite gift card in a recent raffle basket. My wife requested that we visit, so off we went. Upon arrival, we were seated immediately. We were given menus and our drink requests were taken. Since this was our initial visit and we had a gift card, I requested more food than I would have otherwise. We had an event after dinner, so we were on a time budget. For dinner, I requested duck and my wife, mussels. The side dishes that I selected were ratatouille along with some mushroom risotto.A short while later, our food was delivered and it looked amazing. My favorite dish was the ratatouille - the vegetables were fresh and absolutely delicious. My second favorite dish was the mushroom risotto - it was smooth, creamy, and filling. Loved every bite of it. My third favorite dish was the duck. I have decided that I don't like the gamey flavor of duck as much as I thought. It was cooked correctly and it was served over some thinly sliced potatoes. The problem I had with the dish was that the sauce under it had the consistency of water. I think the sauce should have been thicker. It permeated the potatoes and made them wilt. The flavors were good though.Our servers were very friendly. The manager greeted us and he was also very friendly, fixing an issue we had with the gift card. I can't wait to go back and try other menu items.

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.

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.

A hidden gem in Medina right off the square! Good is always top notch along with the service. The steak au poivre sauce was a game changer

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

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. Chef's kiss

I really wanted to like this restaurant. Their mission is a good one. Our server was very personable and the atmosphere was OK. The food just wasn't very good, in addition to being WAY overpriced. I had the zucchini au gratin. Just kind of blah. My husband had a fish dish that was just ok. The food should have been a lot better for what they charged us. Sorry to say it, but we won't be back.
