• rehearsal dinner

  Highly recommend Sereneco for your event needs!! We hosted our rehearsal dinner + welcome drinks as part of our wedding weekend at Sereneco and our expectations were exceeded to say the least! Billy and his team are absolutely incredible - the food (people still haven't stopped raving about the dishes, esp the short rib!), ambiance, and service were all top notch. Every step of the way, the team was supportive in ensuring everything ran smoothly and fit the vision we were looking for. Thank you so much again Billy and team - Sereneco will hold a special place in our hearts forever!

• catered event

  I catered an event here and they did a fantastic job! The food and ambience were fantastic and the customer service was great! All the guests gave high praise as to how nice everything was. Thank you Billy and staff!

• private event

  Have been here quite few times for brunch/dinner (both of which are always fantastic), but recently held a private event here and it was AMAZING. The food, service, staff, etc. was all absolutely perfect. Cannot say enough good things about this place and the team!

• large group brunch

  Took a large group for brunch today. They were so accommodating and all of the food came out at the same time. Everything was delicious. And the vibe is great.

• group brunch

  Came for brunch. My food was good (pork sandwich) but the rest of the group was mostly unimpressed. The water they bring to the table is warm and a bottle of water is $8 so I went next door to grab a cold drink. Small menu and for the price not really worth it.
