    The moment we walked in we were greeted all the way to our seats. Service was everything we expected it to be and more. The waiter and his colleagues were attentive. The only thing I had a slight issue with was a small part of my steak was more medium rare than medium well. Other than that literally everything was perfect. Oh , that Love Potion drink is amazing!

    Last night, we celebrated Thanksgiving at Lena with their exquisite pre-fixe menu, and it was a fantastic experience! Each dish was a delightful homage to the holiday, featuring classic flavors beautifully presented. One standout moment was watching the bartender craft a drink with smoky ice, adding a touch of drama and sophistication to the evening. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting to enjoy a memorable meal with loved ones. Highly recommend!
