Overview

About This Establishment

Serenity Bistro nuzzles West Yellowstone with a calm, refined vibe and a New American menu with a French tilt. Elk Tenderloin lands with a velvet bite, blueberry reduction bright against a clean sear; Sockeye Salmon is pan-seared and lacquered with cilantro-lime sweet chili that snaps. The room moves at a measured pace, and the seasonal outdoor patio opens for a wine-and-craft-beer finish. The wine list and beer options lift the meal, making $28-$40 entrees feel solidly earned.

Phenomenal dinner, there were four of us and we had such surprising flavours with the butternut squash ravioli and thestuff pork chops! The hot honey cheesecake was fun surprise as well. You have to take the extra few minutes to drive out to the airport to experience dinner!

I came to this very cozy french restaurant! The food was sooooo flavorful! One of the best Chicken I’ve ever had! I wish the portion was a bit bigger! But Its french! Sooooo….. LOL My husband had the Salmon, and he said it was just perfect! The woman with blond hair with french accent was so cute and very charismatic! I totally recommend this place if you want to have a Nice french food in a special night! Enjoy West Yellowstone!!!

It's hard to find a fine dining place in West Yellowstone. All the other ones are pizza, burgers, and BBQ which is absolutely plain and boring. This is a small hidden gem at the corner. Waitress is very nice. Food is authentic. I already know what I will order next time :-) Definitely will come back
