I went on a Friday night with a party of 15. We were sat down quickly. This was my first time here. The music was great the DJ was playing R&B with a mix of neo soul. The server approached our table to see what we wanted to drink or hookah. We declined the Hookah. As I was overlooking the menu; I noticed they had drink menu which most drinks were $20+. To me that was bit steep. I ordered oysters (7/10), sushi (6/10), and wings(siracha) (8/10). When the food was brought out i had the wrong order, but it was fixed. After we ordered our food that was the last time we seen our server she disappeared. So, we didn't get any refills on our drinks or water. I'm guessing they was short staffed. So, I will give them grace. Someone in my party didn't enjoy their food and the chef/manager came out was very combative. They offered to cook something else, but my party mate was not impressed with the food so declined the offer. But the staff keep being pushy. I know the location is the beach, so they have to up prices on food and drinks to keep up with the competition. The place is nice inside with Japanese art inside. I just wish the food was higher quality/tastier for the price. read more

Came back to give this place another try. The ambiance is nice, and I really love the decor. However, the bathrooms clearly have not been upgraded at all. I ordered a hookah recommended by the server ("blue...something"). It was just okay. The charbroiled oysters were disappointing -- the Parmesan on top was hard and tasted like processed cheese. I wouldn't recommend this spot for food, but I would recommend it for drinks. The biggest issue this visit was the environment. It was freezing inside, and we weren't informed at the time of our reservation that the heat wasn't working. We had to ask about it ourselves, and the only explanation given was that they "tried to fix it." read more

Good food, great service, amazing ambiance. After we walked in our waiter was given a huge party and he did a great job of attending to us (party of two) and the large group. The food came out fairly quickly as did the drinks. I'd give the wings a 7/10, the half chicken was a 8/10 and the steak entree was a 9/10. The desserts were also a 9/10. Upon arrival they were playing really mellow music 90s and early 2000s RnB mixed with little pop and current RnB. Later on they had a live dj and he set the vibes! We also ordered hookah which was good, it wasn't harsh at all! read more

The food is amazing! Go here even if you don't like hookah. It's worth it just for the food and drinks. And the hookah lounge is closed up and the bar/dining room is not smoky or smelly at all. We got there at 6:30 on a Friday, and it was pretty empty. It does get really busy after 9 PM so get there early if you want dinner. We didn't really know what to expect. It has more of a club type ambiance and music than a dinner spot. The menu has small plates, a small sushi selection and a few entrees plus a chefs special. When we were there it was Peruvian chicken that sounded awesome, but we tried so many other things we were too full to order an entree. We got started with Lychee martinis and the spicy garlic edamame. Both were fantastic. This is my new favorite edamame. That garlic sauce was so good! Next we did the pork boa buns. The pork belly inside was crispy and flavored just right. Then the hamachi carpaccio. Very good and a different style than I usually see. Each piece had a small orange slice and the combined flavors were excellent. And finally, the double tuna roll (I think that was the name) also delicious! After dinner, we moved into the hookah lounge. It was just starting to get busy, but there were still plenty of tables in there. I was impressed that it wasn't smoky or smelly in there either. I can be sensitive to smoke and stuff and it was surprisingly nice. We went with the Magic Love, which was a mango pineapple, mint flavor. Very unique! By the time we left at 10pm, the place was getting pretty packed. I definitely recommend checking this out if you like trying new places and want something a little different. Everyone working there was so nice and helpful, and I can't wait to have that edamame again! read more

Serenity is one of my favorite spots to get sushi! Their serenity roll is top tier amazing. The decor makes the restaurant such a vibe and if you enjoy hookah, they have a separate area to smoke hookah while dining. The service is always amazing. Such a great spot for a birthday dinner, girls night, or even a casual night out. read more

Stopped in on Saturday night around 10pm for a late dinner and hookah. This spot is more popular than we thought. Definitely make a reservation because they were busy busy! The hostess told us there was an hour wait for a hookah, so we decided to try some of their drinks at the bar. They have a full bar and some unique drink offering from their menu. We enjoyed their mango mule. The music on the dining room side was too loud to carry on a conversation without leaning across the table, so not quite the quiet/intimate date spot. We left after finishing our drinks, so didn't get to check out their food. Places seems good if you're with a group, pregaming, or just looking for a chill night out. read more

I really enjoyed this place. Bartender was super friendly and drinks were amazing! I had lychee martini n my friend had pina colada in a huge pineapple. It's beautiful inside and had super chill vibe. If you had hard day at work this is place to go relax! The sticking ribs, bang bang shrimp and mushrooms were delicious! We were so full on apps and drinks that we never got to entrees. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because no Happy Hour specials but they said they're working on it. I also love that glass wall separates smoking lounge from bar and restaurant. read more

From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed into a beautiful pink lit ambiance that's intimate and ideal for a night out with someone special. For starters we got cocktails and apps! I highly recommend the Passionate Dreams cocktail if you like a little spice in your drinks. The Blazing shrimp tempura and spring rolls are not to be missed and of course, you must get sushi! The standout for us was the Serenity Roll. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. For our entrée, we enjoyed the chef's special, a perfectly cooked ribeye with mashed potatoes and asparagus. As for that chimichurri, I could drink it! For dessert, the fried cheesecake was indulgent for sure! Whether you're there for the Japanese-inspired menu, the handcrafted cocktails, or to unwind with premium hookah or a cigar, Serenity offers a refined experience designed to engage all your senses. Definitely add it to your date night list! read more

Came here for a date night on Saturday. Great music. There was a saxophone player there. Our waitress was great. The truffles fries and Brussel sprouts are really good. The edamame was really salty I had to dip them in water. Our dynamite roll took forever to come out and the rice was gummy. I just chopped everything up to them being a new spot and very busy. read more

Came here Thursday, February 20th, for the second time for date night. Our server Gina was absolutely outstanding - her knowledge of the new menu and suggestions had us trying things we overlooked our first trip in and otherwise wouldn't have tried. Definitely recommend the Crispy Brussel Sprouts along with the Spicy Garlic Edamame! Cocktails & Hookah were absolutely outstanding and the vibe inside this place is like no other in the city. We'll be back! read more

Absolutely delicious food, my favorite was the double spicy tuna roll, and the most underrated item was the Karaage with lemon squeeze was absolutely mouth-watering. Service was quick and the hookah was delicious as they offer brand new unused hoses. Serenity is an accurate name as I was relaxed and enjoyed my entire dining experience. The art on the walls are well designed and interesting to admire. read more

Honestly, everything was great that we tried. We started off with a watermelon, peach mint hookah and it was perfect. Clean and not hard or smoky at all. Then we both got a cocktail , the mexcal Smoky Passionate and the vodka based Lychee Martini. Both were the perfect amount of alcohol and smoky and sweet. The edamame was salty and then we moved on to the Double Spicy Tuna Roll. It was great! Jacksonville really struggles with sushi and this was perfect! Will definitely come back read more

Tried this restaurant out on Thursday, February 13 with another couple at 6 PM. Music was loud like it was 10 PM and the place was popping but it was not- we were the only ones there. Truffle fries were amazing otherwise not impressed. Not sure if we'll be back. read more

Very average with low end finishes. Photos look good, but not as nice in person. Staff seems new to higher end dining
