As a significant majority of people in New York City are fully vaccinated (and wear masks), I've been feeling more comfortable with indoor dining (I respect is a personal decision for each individual). I heard that Sereneco recently opened and since I was going to an outdoor movie screening earlier that evening in Greenpoint, I made a reservation at Sereneco after a quick look at their website. Tl;dr - The food is delicious, the design/decor is modern, and the service is excellent!
Located on the corner of Franklin and Greenpoint, the restaurant is close by Transmitter Park and located within the converted Pencil Factory. Randomly, as my date and I were about to open the front door, a man who was walking by stopped us to say that we were in for a treat because the food was good (a positive sign). Upon entering, the host warmly greeted us and the server promptly seated us at our table. As we walked to the table, I appreciated the modern design of the space with high ceilings, wood furnishings, and overhead lanterns.
All the food was tasty, which includes the carrots and the prawns. For me, the standout dish was the roasted half chicken, which was cooked just right to provide both a crispy and tender flavor. Throughout the evening, and we dined for a couple hours, the service was attentive.
The restaurant had a steady flow of customers without feeling overly crowded, a healthy sign for a new spot opening during a pandemic. I highly recommend eating and/or drinking at Sereneco. You'll support a local business and enjoy yourself!
