Serenade American Brasserie reimagines a classic brasserie through a Lone Star lens, creating one of Austin’s most central and relaxed dining destinations. Welcome to a place where the allure of French oak meets the draw of Texas smoke.

Featuring locally-sourced dishes for all day dining, Serenade offers elevated comfort food in a setting that is both approachable and tranquil. The cocktails are bespoke and inventive, the wine list is globally curated, and the beer selection ranges from European specialties to local Austin brews. Serenade is led by Chef Johnny Ray Stinebaugh, with menu development overseen by W Austin’s Executive Chef Manuel Rodriguez.

Located on the ground floor of W Austin, Serenade spans an inviting indoor-outdoor and day-to-evening space. In the dining room and at the large focal point bar, double-height ceilings enhance the soft, golden light, while avian motifs appear throughout.

The new restaurant is very disappointing if you were used to visiting the W for brunch before the remodel. Quiet as a church, service was not great, food was wrong, drinks weren’t put in and their version of an english muffin was a toasted hamburger bun, or they messed up that order also. Wont be returning and was sad that we were anticipating the re-open and were so disappointed.

The food was okay, drinks were meh. We went during dinner time and every single light was on, so ambiance was very off.

Bartender got our drinks wrong numerous times and not made well. Service was horrible. Meals should have come out of the kitchen at the same time. Duck fries were undercooked and cold.

Good service, good menu, good food - except for a few items that could do with some refinement, lively environment at times too loud, good for group meals not an intimate date night place. Great wine pours. Recommend trying.

Delighted with this new W Hotel restaurant- stunning interior. Excellent duck confit - tender and flavorful like we enjoy in European restaurants. Crisp and fresh endive salad with luscious rose water dressing. The bird’s nest cocktail is light and refreshing. We enjoyed excellent service and a quiet dining atmosphere.

Had to use my hotel credit for one dinner, I think that it is only worth it that way, by using come hotel credit. Plates are really small and way too expensive, for example the fish is good, very small but about $35. The tomahawk $180 very good, but there are better steak restaurants.

The new space is GORGEOUS. And the food was outstanding. And then you have the great W staff that never disappoints. I liked Trace when it was around but Serenade is even better.

Nice place to come to unwind. The noise level is perfect so a conversation can be heard without having to raise your voice. The food tasted really good, however, the value for what you got was overpriced. The server was attentive but was not forthcoming in asking if we wanted dessert after our meal. When we inquired about dessert we were pleasantly impressed with the variety that was offered, and we were not disappointed in what we received. I’d come back again and do heavy appetizers with cocktails but wouldn’t have dinner because of the price.
