Traffic oasis – As someone who hates to sit in the parking known as I40 everyday at 5:00 I cannot tell you how excited I am about Stumbling across Serena. It may not be the easiest place to find and it certainly isn't your typical after work watering hole but don't let that keep you away. Take a few Daily speciails add draft beer, cocktails, wine, and tasty apps throw in a few smart mouthed bartenders, friendly regulars and some plasmas and you have yourself a geniune RTP oasis. Oh did I mention that its smoke free and they ... read more

The Rise and Fall Of Serena – For 2 years this was my favorite lunch place. Close to work, great interior, amazing food, quick friendly service. Everyone from the company I work at ate there. But in the last 6 months it is at rock bottom. Quality is going down big time while prices are going up. I usually ordered a great salad with salmon or an avocado BLT. The salad got worse and worse with the salmon so obviously frozen and tasted awful. The sandwiches got worse with the bread being dry like styrofoam. The last time I went... read more

RTP "Hot" spot – If you're like me, your work day in RTP can be (insert favorite expletive) frustrating. And once it's over, I get to sit at a near standstill on Hopson Rd for a half hour just to have the pleasure of the same on (insert your interstate). So once or twice a week, I like to meet with a few of the co-workers that I do not have a strong desire to throttle (there are just a few) for an adult beverage and/or dinner. In the past this desire would lead us to SouthPoint (wrong direction for a Raleigh commuter) or wor... read more

Don't eat here unless you like to 1. overpay for your food 2. wait too long. I ordered a grilled chicken salad $9.00 + a small diet coke and my lunch was $11.00!!! I was one of two people in the restaurant for lunch and it took over 15 minutes for them to make my lunch. What a rip off! This is my second time there and I will not go back. There are enough other great places to eat in RTP.

Serena's is very friendly and has FREE Wi-Fi !!! Located on S. Miami across from Wendy's just up from I-40/Hwy 54 intersection, this restaurant is very convenient to RTP and apartment complexes such as Edinborough at the Park. The restaurant is a great place to take a date or to watch a ballgame. Beer and wine selection is extensive and excellent. Available outside dining offers a tranquil, relaxing environment to surf the net at this FREE, 24-hr wireless hotspot.
