Tucked away in the hills just beyond the Wassaic station is this cozy, surprising hideaway. Helmed by Chef/Owner Serge Madikians, the exquisite Mediterranean cuisine at Serevan is imbued with the flavors of the Middle East, a celebration of the traditions of his Armenian background. Superb service from the time the breadbasket arrives to the final sip of a well-crafted drink. Request a seat by the fireplace when making your well-advised reservation.
