    This was my first time at DLeña, and I took my partner here for a late Valentines Day dinner date. We both had an AMAZING experience, food was perfect, our server (Jeff H) was very attentive and had amazing vibes ! The atmosphere was very romantic, and we really enjoyed the consistent service of water, removal of finished dishes, and making sure we had everything we needed. I will be back with a group of 7 for bottomless brunch next month !!!

    This was our first time here and it exceeded expectations! The dumplings and noodles were delicious, the cocktails were expertly mixed, and desserts were the perfect finishing touch. We were celebrating a birthday and our server was kind enough to bring an extra dessert on the house with candles for wish making :-) We will definitely be back, especially when the weather is a bit warmer and we can enjoy the outdoor seating.
