About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
Cerise features contemporary European cuisine inspired by Chef Ben & his wife Elena Thomas' time abroad and love of open-air markets; those found in every neighborhood with fresh produce, game, cheeses and milk and incredible boiling and bubbling dishes from diverse ethnicities. The dishes will highlight the lighter more modern side of European cuisine, and the diversity of dishes represented by the region's varied landscapes. The name Cerise (French for "cherry"), is inspired by the cherry season that marks the most abundant time of year in Europe's farm regions and markets.
We believe that fantastic food does not need to be served in a stale or stuffy setting for a meal to be truly memorable. In Europe there is a social ritual to dining, where a multi-course meal does not require over-eating, and isn't limited to special occasions. These are meals that involve spending time with friends and family while enjoying the best the season has to offer.

    This was our first time dining at Cerise and we were very pleasantly surprised. The food was outstanding and the service warm and attentive. The chef was able to accommodate the dietary restrictions of gluten-free with ease. The only complaint was that it was a bit noisy. We loved our meal and will definitely be back.

    We came here for my husband's birthday. They do a Prix fixe Menü and are byob. The food was "good", but given the reviews and the price, I had expected "great". Probably more like 3 1/2 stars. The scallop entree was delicious and the fresh bread on the table was also yummy. But the mushroom soup and steak tartar appetizers were both bland. The cheap decor, no tablecloth and bright lights were more befitting a cheap restaurant. Our waiter was very nice and that helped. We won't be rushing back.

    We went for Valentine's Day after coming down from New York to visit family, and had to make a late reservation - not only were they incredibly accommodating, but it might have been the best meal of my life. The mushroom veloutè was light but packed with so much flavor that my date got a bowl instead of dessert after she tasted it. The rigatoni pasta with braised beef and crispy shallots was amazing, but the Haloumi-dish might actually have changed my life. It was so delicious that I can't adequately describe it. I finished with baked pears, and it capped off a truly spectacular dining experience. Highly recommended.

    Five of us met for dinner. Everyone really enjoyed their choices. Two of us had a duck confit that was a special, and we really enjoyed it. Kale salad was delicious.

    We always have a delightful experience when we dine at Cerise. The food is delicious, creative without being pretentious, and portions are just right for us. The service is efficient, wait staff cordial and non-invasive, and anxious to answer any and all questions. Our only concern this time was that the menu we read on Open Table was totally different from the one being presented the night we were there. This is apparently not unusual, so perhaps Open Table can be a bit more timely in the menu inclusions or indicate that the menu on line may differ from the one currently being served.
