After a map search on openrice we discovered this little restaurant so close to home, which was perfect for a rainy Friday night. We were a little surprised with the high prices, but the quality of the food mostly made up for it. We started with oyster shooters which were yummy. We had the mushroom soup which was thick and tasty. The parma ham bruschetta which was very good, but overpriced for 3 pieces of bread. We all had pasta for main course and they were all fresh and tasty, the risotto was the favorite. The portions were quite small for the price. We had apple crumble for desert and it was very good. Coffees to finish were unfortunately a disappointing end to a good meal. Service was good and staff very pleasant.

Overall I would recommend for diners in the Sheung Wan area, but be aware that you’ll likely need to order an entree, main and desert to be full.

My girlfriend and I LOVE seafood! The other day we were surfing the net and came across Serenade, at first we had doubts in whether or not to try this because there weren’t a lot of reviews but we still went to try it since its kinda close to where we work.

When we got there, there weren’t a lot of people which was good caz we both hate crowded, noisy places. It’s a cosy, warm restaurant, I think it’s perfect for couples! We ordered a seafood platter as our entrée, absolutely love it! It includes oysters, crab and snails, they were well presented and oh-so-fresh! I wish they had more in a platter, we couldn’t get enough! Soo sooo good! We also had a basket of bread which was still hot and soft, we didn’t have much of the bread caz we were afraid we won’t have enough space for other yummy food! Oh almost forgot we had a salmon salad, it was good, nothing too exciting here but still good.We also ordered linguini with clams and geoduck and the lamb rack. Both were great! We were afraid that the lamb rack wouldn’t be good because not all restaurants can do a good job in making the lamb rack and we don’t like it to be overcooked. To my surprise, the lamb rack was so amazing that even my girlfriend wouldn’t stop praising it! Arghh..my mouth is watering now just by talking about it. And the linguini is very tasty too! Their seafood were all so fresh!!Although we were already full after the mains but we still wanted to try out the dessert. We had the chocolate molten cake and also the crème brulee. Both were above average! We were sooo full and could barely move but were also very happy for having such good food with reasonable pricing!!Overall the food here were amazingly good, I wouldn’t expect such restaurant with not many s on openrice would be that great! I would say this is a must-go restaurant! We will DEFINTELY come back AGAIN!

由於小妹上個月生日，最親愛既朋友仔決定同我食飯慶生~
再次再次特別鳴謝我最愛既大學同學仔~~

大家只係神神秘秘咁帶我係上環慢慢行
冇諗過原來寧靜既上環會別有洞天，結果係去左一間so cozy 既serenade 一來到大家就決定要支 house wine享受下~
環境浪漫氣氛良好．酒不醉人人自醉嘛
之後就開始極級享受既美食之旅~

老闆仲好好人咁主動問我地有咩想食
仲推介佢地既招牌 seafood platter ~
有咁好人斯文又靘仔既老細~ 女士們既我地當然就等老闆幫我地決定啦~呢個象拔蚌刺生簡直係鮮甜可口．可遇不可求!
老闆話係即日新鮮運到 – 果種爽口程度完全係yummy yummy~再來個seafood platter 有本人最喜歡吃既澳洲水晶蟹!!
蟹膏比秋天食到既大閘蟹黃油蟹仲要多幾倍!!! 不停encore 再encore 哈哈之後有龍蝦湯面包同三文魚沙律~~ 值得一讚既係一流龍蝦湯
精華濃郁但不肥膩．等你留番 capacity for main dishes~~~

再來係拓牌菜 ---- Grilled Australian Kobe Beef M9 & 羊架

just randomly walk in Sheung Wan with friends, and also randomly pick a restaurant for dining¬ but the quality of the food and environment of the restaurant is unexpectedly quite impressivewe ordered the seafood plate as starter, all of the seafood are quite fresh. And I think the oysters are the best¬ vy fresh¬and the maincourse, both courses are very tasty especially the lamb rack. I havent tried such a good lamb rack for long

我好鐘意食蟹, 以為香港除左中式大閘蟹之外, 都無咩又鮮又好味o既地方,
呢晚黎完呢間餐廳, 我要更正一下只有中式大閘蟹先好味o既說法啦~
原來西餐都有好好味o既蟹食架~
我同男朋友都好鐘意食蟹, 所以就嗌左個seafood platter一試~ 嘩成隻蟹原隻開晒, 絕無欺場!
肉質十分鮮甜!
侍應仲好好人咁比左開蟹用o既剪同鉗比我地!

其實一黎到呢間餐廳, 侍應就比左個wine menu我地睇, 心大心細唔知飲red定飲white 好, 雖然食海鮮應該飲white wine 好d, 但係我地又想飲紅酒喎~
所以最後就點左呢支chianti啦~之後叫左個三文魚沙律, 煙三文魚好多塊, 而且賣相都唔錯!唔係求其撈埋一碟菜就比客人食o既沙律!
芝士同三文魚配埋一齊, 好開胃!
用心之作!

食完冷盤, 我地兩個又叫左招牌菜羊架食呢個羊肉煮得好出色, 之前食好多羊架肉質好多係太「鞋」,但係呢個生熟真係岩岩好!
最後叫埋個甜品, 心太軟都好好味, 朱古力同雪糕配搭得好!
雪糕仲係見到有雲尼拿籽架! 唔係市面上普通的雲尼拿雪糕!食到好飽, 見到menu仲有幾樣菜想試~ 要等下次lu!

在香港很多人說要撐「小店」的時候, 謝謝朋友介紹了這一家私房的海鮮西餐廳給我啊!
遠離SOHO的Elgin Street 一列的餐廳街，走遠一點，當你走多一條街便會發現這專賣海鮮而價錢又合理的小店。之前朋友來過介紹我來，因他讚口不絕，而今次朋友生日便預先訂位，一來到便waitress便讓我們坐在近窗的位置。
既然為了海鮮而來, 想也沒想, 頭盤點了一個Seafood Platter!食物來之前侍應放了四款汁在我們檯上, 有酸有辣的。Seafood Platter來了, 我們忍不住嘩了一聲我在香港是未試過這樣足料的Seafood Platter , 不得不提生蠔的新鮮, 大廚說是由澳州塔斯漫尼亞 (Tasmania)空運來的, 多汁, 而加了檸檬汁後帶出了生蠔的鮮海水味! 喜歡吃生蠔的我找到了對的地方!還有蟹是原隻上, 起初以為西方食法的蟹膏應該不多, 誰不知蟹膏原封不動新鮮地留在蟹蓋等我們動手了!當我們吃海鮮時, waitress很細心地不時走過來跟我們換碟, 大概因為這店的面積不大 (大概20個位左右), 服務很周到。
當日的special- 我們有口福了, 原來當天的新鮮象拔蚌刺身, 由加拿大當日空運到港。其實除了日本的刺身, 在香港其他西餐廳實在很少有刺身的special! 這碟象拔蚌刺身, 吃出的不只是新鮮, 還有是爽脆的口感。象拔蚌刺身下面是用乾冰上碟, 絕不馬虎。

我們吃海鮮吃得高興, 當然點了一支白酒伴餐! 這裡的House White, 配海鮮一流, 而且價錢合理($298, bottle)。Linguini with baby Geoduck Clams - 見到MENU上這個意粉有是推介食物, 故此點來嘗試一下。吃的時候十分驚喜, 橄欖油的味道和海鮮的味道一樣突出。意粉很有homemade的味道, 不是粗製濫造的那種大堆頭製作, 口感鮮明。至於份量方面, 兩個人吃完上面的seafood platter 加刺身, 份量剛剛好了, 而且一點都不膩, 很滿足。可能因為是晚太高興, 美酒加佳餚, 我們愈食愈開心(加上飲了點酒), 最後我們點了一個主菜, 是這裡其中的招牌菜Grilled Australian Kobe Beef M9 Rib Eye Steak (250g)肉質十分適中, 入口化後咬左一兩下, 有溶在口中的口感, 好正!
除左日本食過咁這樣高品質, 又煮得好的和牛, 真的一流!
由食海鮮到主菜, 怎可以不嘗試一下這類的甜品? 雖然大家都好飽, 但我們都點了心太軟和我的至愛creme brulee!
我選了我至愛的creme brulee, 我向來都覺得paul lafayet的creme brulee是全香港最好的 (哈哈, 只屬個人意見)
這兒都可以算是第二了! 上面的那層焦糖十分脆, 而且是能溶在口中, 而不是溶在匙中的!
可是, vanilla seed比paul lafayet的那個少, 味道比paul lafayet那個稍為甜。
這兒的creme brulee上面有士多啤梨襯托, 賣相比paul lafayet 好~第二個我選了心太軟, 點了之後等了十五至二十分鐘左右才上菜。
心太軟勝在新鮮焗製, 流出來的朱古力成半固體但不是太浠, 味道十分濃郁, 好像把整塊濃度55-60%的朱古力溶在口中一樣..
是比我在坊間一些甜品店吃過的更好, 朱古力味香濃。是晚真的是不醉無歸, 當香港的西餐廳被很多大集團"group" 式經營時,
像Serenade的fine dining西餐廳仍然光芒四射，令食客食得出大廚是有心機煮出來的西餐,
還有是上乘的食材, 真是難得。
我會再回來的!!

We reserved a table to celebrate two birthdays about a month ago. When we arrived we were seated at a tight table where we struggled to get in because of the wine racks right above our heads. Finally, we asked to be moved to the other side which is a bit more roomier. It all started with our appetizer. We got the seafood platter which was delicious and fresh and it arrived in a timely manner (because it doesn't require any cooking). I ordered a soup and a salad. However, my salad came first because the waiter decided for me that I should eat my soup as my entree. I thought he should have at least ask but whatever. (This isn't the most frustrating part) During the courses of our meals, we had to constantly ask for refills for water and bread. We waited for 45 minutes after we finished our appetizer before our entrees arrived. My friends ordered the pan seared australian ocean trout and when it came, it was salmon. When we inquired about it to the waiter, he was just like "trout is the same thing as salmon" and when my friend further inquired, waiter was just like "do you want to see the menu again?" Wow...was that rude or what? I expect a bit more professionalism and hospitality. Not to mention the menu was a bit misleading - Though trout is a salmon species but trout is not the same as salmon.

seafood platter - The only dish that was enjoyable; seafood was fresh and well-presented
bread - though it was free; bread are only standard, nothing spectacular
the Australian trout fillet (or should I say salmon fillet) and Cod with caviar were both below expectation. The fish was not cooked thoroughly in the mid section. The risotto was extremely salty.
Caesar salad- could have used a bit more lettuce; dressing was standard; served with bacon bits (not freshly made), Parmesan cheese and croûtons
lobster bisque tasted like regular tomato soup

Furthermore, I asked for more bread to go with my SOUP ENTREE ... It never came. The waitress asked if i still wanted the bread after I was done with my soup. (Seriously?)

Further to our frustration, we brought cupcakes for the birthday girls. So we asked the waitress if there are cake cutting charges..waitress said "no but it's a $100". At that point, I have had enough so we just asked for the bill and took our bday celebration elsewhere.
Summary:
Price - 3/10 (7pax for HKD3000 (including 10% service charge included for SUBSTANDARD service; corkage for 2 bottles = $150each)
Food - 2/10
Service - 2/10
Ambiance - 2/10
Needless to say, we will not be back.

My friends and I had dinner in Serenade last Tuesday. We get there around 7:30pm. We plan to have seafood that night. the first dish we had are raw oyster. It was fresh. Perfect balance between salty and sweet. It was a thumb up. After that we had snow crab and mantis shrimp (peeing shrimp). The shrimp is huge, fresh and juicy. They are served as cold dishes. The crab was fresh and the meat is sweet. the we had lobster bisque. Rich and well balanced in flavor (lobster, tomato and brandy is well balanced). We also had pasta with clam. Then we finished with steak and lamb where both are cooked to medium rare. Definitely the food is good and thumbs up!
