Disclaimer: Serenade is inside the W Austin, so don't get lost like we did. The Hostess NySha was so lovely and she took great care of us and got us to our Waitress Julia, who was absolutely amazing. They were a great team, both recommending must try items. It's out anniversary so they gave us some champagne 🥂 which was lovely. We got a Chevre Spread which is a must try, like the flavors are all unreal just mesh together. I got the Duck and my wife got the Chicken dish and they were both lovely. The duck is next level, like fall off the bone next level. All together we had a great time, they took photos of us for us and we took the rest of the fun into Downtown Austin.

Quirky restaurant as it is connected to the grocery store. That being said, it is for the better as you can get drinks etc from the store for the restaurant. The menu choices are fairly simple with each dish having a French style. Good food and enjoyable atmosphere.
