My husband and I went here last night with friends, and we all discussed that it was the best meal we have had in years (maybe even ever). I should caveat that we were well coached by our server and a guy who seemed like he must be the manager. We had several appetizers to share: 1. the clams with chorizo were so good that we nearly got full dipping bread in the broth; 2. the raw tuna with tarragon was haunting. We will be back for this for sure. Then they suggested we split salads, which we did: the chopped salad was amazing. As they warned, the Caesar was a little boring, but we were in the mood for one boring thing. Lastly, we all four had different entrees and passed them around: each bite was better than the last. I had the scallops with risotto which were perfectly seared and the risotto had mushrooms and blue cheese (which was not too strong as blue cheese can be). My husband had the ""best steak of his life"" and it was cooked perfectly rare-medium-rare. Our friends had the wild boar on fresh pasta and salmon on polenta with a fennel chowder ""moat"" around it. Amazing! Unfortunately, we were too full to eat any more so I cannot report on dessert, but I bet it's good. Overall, we had a great night -- the place was warm and inviting, the people were also warm and inviting, and the food was simply fabulous. Way to go and keep it up Serratto!
