    Just a great place, all around. The wine list, salads, entrees, everything was great. Special nod to the duck confit salad. I will be back just for that!

    Serrato has been a go-to for awhile due to consistently interesting and tasty preparations, attentive but not intrusive service, and an open, welcoming space with sufficient noise control that it's possible to have a conversation across the table without shouting or lip reading. We took our mostly pescetarian out-of-town friends last night and they thoroughly enjoyed it as well.
