Serenade (Closed)

I have dined with friends and business assoicates at Serenade couple of times and each visit has been a pleasant experience.Therefore I would like to share this with anyone looking for something different in terms of fine dining as unlike many big restaurants in Hong Kong, Serenade is a small, boutique like place located in a quiet neighbourhood with cosy , friendly atmosphere and attentive service that you don't find in many restaurants these days. The menu has reasonable selection from appetizers to mains and desserts. Quality of food is pretty high and I particulalry like the entree portion which is just enough so as to leave room for dessert. I was also surprised to find good selection of both the red and white wines especially they have my favourite Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc . Try to go early as they have daily Happy Hour from 5 to 7 pm where you get half dozen oysters when you order a bottle of wine !And you also get to meet and chat with their chef at the bar..Last but not least, with its size it is an ideal place to host a small private party as you get to book the whole place to yourself. …Read More

Living at the end of Hollywood Rd my wife and I decided to have a bite near by. A short stroll and we came accross this pretty little place. The decor was modern but has a rustic feel. We started off with fresh Irish rock oysters and some mussels with a brusseta and procuito. Everything was fresh and tasty and melted in the mouth. For mains we had pesto penne chicken and crab meat linguine. Both dishes were nice and tasty the extra cheese topping made all difference. For dessert I ordered the hot soufflé and the creme brûlée both amazing deserts. The coffee topped off a great dinner. The waitess gave us the bill and it came to about $500 which I thought was good value with the two glasses of red we ordered. Definietly be back.…Read More

位於上環一個比較靜既area, Serenade 是一個 casual but chic 既 fine dining place. 只看名字以為是間Italian restaurant 不過像間以 seafood 為主既 restaurant. 地方同個名一樣, 好 serene, 好 calm ~ 不過就沒有人來對住我地serenade! XD其實是上個星期五晚去不過今日先見到佢上左openrice! 去當晚好少人, 可能是新開的關係? 地方細細, waiter 也很熱心介紹食物, recommend 左支chardonnay 同 sauvignon blanc, 好彩我朋友選擇左chardonnay啫! 幾啱飲!因為開左支wine所以送左半打生蠔, based on their recommendation再要左瀨尿蝦同埋青青地色果d螺. 生蠔要左 Irish Rock ~ 新鮮, okay. 瀨尿蝦 cocktail style 都係第一次食 (因為怕 fishy). 佢地recommend 原汁原味咁食, 咩汁都唔好加. 都算無介紹錯, 食落幾鮮! 食完再飲淡wine 個口感覺得好fulfilling, 好smooth. 螺夠 “shaun”. 佢地也有dungeness crab 同麵包蟹不過我地只得兩個人所以無要到. 之後來左個 lobster bisque. 好濃既湯! 上次去Sheraton Oyster & Wine bar 既lobster 完全唔掂, Ruth’s Chris 果個都okay, 不過最濃最好味都係依度, 有少少surprise. 最後share左個豬扒 ~ 佢地講係USA既黑毛豬 ~ kurobuta? 就咁grill, 再 au jus (肉汁). 我比較喜歡就咁食, 個jus好像缺少左d野咁 (herbs?) 肉一d都唔 “鞋”, 味道好好. 我估佢可能brine過所以咁厚既豬扒都仲咁juicy?來到dessert time 已經吃不下去了, 下次先再試巴! 拿了張business card, 個 chef 講下次想食咩可以先打講聲!…Read More
