If you're like me, your work day in RTP can be (insert favorite expletive) frustrating. And once it's over, I get to sit at a near standstill on Hopson Rd for a half hour just to have the pleasure of the same on (insert your interstate). So once or twice a week, I like to meet with a few of the co-workers that I do not have a strong desire to throttle (there are just a few) for an adult beverage and/or dinner. In the past this desire would lead us to SouthPoint (wrong direction for a Raleigh commuter) or worse: the bar at the Sheriton (piano playing/high prices). But my prayers were answered when they finally closed that horrible Mexican place across from the Wendys on S. Miami and opened the restaurant with my new favorite name: Serena.
Pros: Atmosphere, location, and food.
Cons: I think the manager has a boy friend.
