So I've been here many times but this time it was way less than what I expect in terms of food and service. First, I walked in and saw the hostess on the phone. She motioned for me to wait, which I did for a few minutes. And she kept talking, instead of asking the person on the phone to hold a second while she dealt with the real person in front of her. And by the way it was completely uncrowded and not very busy. Finally I saw my party had been seated, and went and sat myself. The food was ok, but not spectacular. The tuna special was a bit overcooked and way over salted. And dessert was not exciting. My husband's peach cobbler was sort of soggy and runny and my lemon tart was underwhelming...
If you want a culinary experience with a wonderful atmosphere, fantastic cocktails and delicious food try Restaurant Serenade in Chatam, NJ. This lovely French restaurant makes you feel right at home its four dining rooms. Each with it's own unique charm. We had the room with fireplace, which made it extremely cozy on this chilly winter night. We had cocktails in the bar which also had a fireplace. Saturday night had the prefix menu which cost $83. It include an appetizer, entree and dessert. For appetizers we started with an additional supplement. It was a sampling of three different caviar. A nice introduction for those who may want to take the dive. The grilled octopus with potatoes was a...
If it was not for the generous gift certificate we would not have dined here twice in the last two months. Each experience the service was great. We sat at a bar high table both times. Atmosphere we enjoyable. Special appetizer: mozzarella and mixed color tomatoes was fresh and very good Chicken Milanese was good, not great. Lobster bisque was super watery, not even sure what other to say than it was nasty,$17 waste. Light pink water with a chunk of lobster. Tuna special very flavorful but 3 slices of tuna. It was punitive not $46 entrees size. Filet was very good size, flavor was ok, and they just could not get the temperature correct, medium was raw, you can tell by easily just tapping the...
Fancy dining spot... Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Though they don't say there is a dress code I wouldn't recommend going in jeans or a Tshirt. The place is nice and it's high priced. Had the caviar tasting and lamb rack. Both were exceptional. I found this place because it was ranked 2-3 for the best restaurant in NJ and I think it holds up. If you have the budget then this place a an amazing option.

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience from start to finish. The prefix menu was superb and had enough options to satisfy most palettes. Also, the wine menu was extensive and paired extremely well with the menu. Depending on the occasion, their wine menu has you covered. Overall, great place, awesome food, and outstanding wine selection!
Very intimate dining setting with very attentive service. The prix fix menu is a great value for extremely tasty and generous portions. Food was delicious and perfectly prepared. Highly recommend for an intimate date night or a family dinner in a more private environment.
I always have a great experience at Serenade! The food and service are always excellent! Last night several members of my party ordered the specials the tomato salad and the seared tuna both were huge hits!!!

Great place. Food, service, etc. Only issue was waiter gave us two wines to try, both mediocre, and a glass costs $33, which we found out when we got the bill.
Exquisite fine dining experience in a classy atmosphere with impeccable service recommend enthusiastically and cannot wait to return!
