   We’ve been there before, the place is very beautiful, the decor, lay out, very unique. The food this time was not good. I asked for the omelette and they wanted to make it so fancy I think that was not good, the flavors, the vegetables, the salsa, not good. The included bread was very scarce. My sister asked for a burrata salad. To start, for the price, it could have included the bread and not to have to pay for it. The salad was soggy, too vinegary. Not good.

   When I made a reservation at Lena, I mentioned in the booking that my father had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and that he was determined to start living life to the fullest. The first thing he wanted to do was revisit Lena, a restaurant he cherished from years ago. While I didn't have any specific requests, I mentioned that great service would mean a lot to us. From the moment we arrived, the team at Lena went above and beyond to make our experience special. They seated us in the best booth in the restaurant. The staff's warmth and attentiveness were immediately apparent, making us feel welcomed. One of the highlights was when they allowed my father to order a meal intended for two, Aurora’s chicken, just for himself, while I chose the noqui. This thoughtful gesture made him feel special and allowed him to enjoy his favorite meal. Our server was incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our visit. In a particularly touching moment, she even remade his coffee because he was in the restroom when it had cooled down. I was so moved by the kindness of the staff that I found myself tearing up as I thanked her for making our time so special. I felt a bit embarrassed for crying, but she was so compassionate. As for the food, it was nothing short of amazing. Each dish was beautifully presented and delicious. To top it all off, the chef came out to say hello, which was such a lovely gesture. Overall, our experience at Lena was wonderful and memorable. The combination of exceptional service, delicious food, and a warm atmosphere made it a perfect outing for my father. I am incredibly grateful to the staff for making this meal special during such a challenging time. I highly recommend Lena to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Thank you, Lena, for creating a beautiful memory for us.

   The food was absolutely wonderful. My husband had the salmon which he said he really enjoyed. I had the braised short ribs that were out of this world. We will definitely be going back!

   I used to love this restaurant, but it's slipping. The only staff that seemed to be working hard was the bartender, our waiter was not around much, we had to order another glass of wine from someone else on the floor. Even my greeting as I arrived seemed like I was an inconvenience. Too bad.

    We had the roasted mushrooms, burrata, and smoked kingfish ceviche as apps. Mushrooms were my favourite, tasted so creamy and flavourful. The ceviche was so good, the fish and gooseberries paired so nicely. Burrata was creamy and paired deliciously with the salad and radish. For entrees, we had the paella and rabbit and escargot dish. Paella had shrimps, scallops, mussels, squid, peas, chickpeas- amazing combo! For drinks, we had the BUENOS AIRES, potent but delicious. Great range of food!
