Attended Sunday, May 18, 2026. Found on Google Maps and reviews seemed solid, when we got there around 9:30/10pm, we were unsure if they were open. Upon entering, Ethan, who served us from beginning to end, stated they’re open. Great ambience, nicely laid out, and we were satisfied with our service and food was delicious. Definitely misjudged from outside, but glad we decided to give it a shot! They unfortunately didn’t have Bao Buns in stock, but Ethan took care of us by providing complimentary dessert and 2 shots on the house! Totally unexpected but extremely grateful for that level of service. Definitely recommend and will return! Their Hookah service is also pretty on point! Thank you Serenity! See you next time!

Serenity is one of my favorite spots for sushi, cocktails, and a good cigar. The new setting is inviting — the kind of place where you can spend hours with friends, just relaxing and enjoying the moment. The décor is beautiful, the music adds an interesting vibe, and the overall atmosphere makes it easy to unwind. The food is amazing — honestly, everything I’ve tried has been spectacular. From simple appetizers to sushi and cocktails, it’s consistently delicious. Service can vary depending on the day, but aside from that, the experience is always very good. If you’re looking for a place to relax, enjoy a simple dinner, great drinks, and a hookah or cigars, I recommend Serenity.
I had a great time at Serenity Lounge last night. Newton, the bartender was AWESOME! He was very attentive and took great care of me. Coming from the opposite side of town, it's a drive but worth it. I will definitely return.
I walk in and wasn't greeted initially (which is fine). Asked to sit at the open bar. It was about 6min before I was approached. I was presented with menus. With a quick look over the selection wasn't bad at all. I was sitting next to a customer who was well over served and was harassing me about eating flowers off my plate. She then proceeded to control the music which really threw the vibes off for me. There were others at the bar who were clearly uncomfortable as she became loud and obnoxiously drunk. Then there were children there that were running around and it's 10pm at night at a BAR!!. The asparagus was ok. The burnt taste from the grill messed up the taste tho. Too add to it, you will be charged a 15% grat no matter the bill. That is actual robbery. I still tipped the bartender as she was nice. I won't go back here but I'm sure the regulars have a great time. 4/10 won't recommend.
Food and hookah were fine. I’m more writing about the rip off my group experienced. There was a special this night: $18 hookahs and $1/wings. We split the hookah, but total came out to $25 for the hookah. For 18 wings we got charged $27. When asked, Ethan said the wings included taxes. I told him that doesn’t make any sense. 1. Thats a crazy tax rate (thats 50% tax rate). 2. Taxes are listed on the bottom of the bill. He gave us a $5.40 “discount” when pressured. We were rushed to pay our bill and not ask further questions as it was a “busy night”. On top of that, I was forced auto-gratuity for being ripped off. I cannot speak for the other half of the group, but their bill was also wrong.
