- KKellyVIPWashington, D.C. Area •12 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe tried the two new preparations for fish and it was the most delicious fish I’ve ever tasted. And the new jambalaya rice was unbelievable. Our waiter JP did a fantastic job of tour guiding the new items and if we could have, we would have sat there all afternoon so good!More infoFounding Farmers & Distillers DC: ChinatownPrice: Moderate• American• Mount Vernon Square•4.3

A Culinary Delight at Delena: A Michelin Star Experience in Washington DC Today, I had the most wonderful lunch at Delena, a Michelin-starred gem in Washington DC, owned by the renowned Chef Richard Sandoval. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and impeccably elegant—perfect for a midday escape into culinary bliss. I started with their signature appetizer crab pumpkin soup, which was beautifully plated and full of bold, vibrant flavors. For my main course, I enjoyed a perfectly cooked birria taco dish that was a masterpiece of both taste and presentation—each bite was an experience! The delicate balance of spices and textures showcased why Chef Sandoval’s cuisine is so highly celebrated. To end the meal on a sweet note, I indulged in a decadent oxaca corn cake dessert, which was almost too beautiful to eat. The combination of rich flavors and light textures left me completely satisfied. What truly made the experience special was the impeccable service. Every detail was attended to with care, making the lunch feel more like a personalized fine-dining experience than just a meal. If you’re looking for an unforgettable culinary adventure in the heart of DC, I highly recommend Delena for your next special occasion—or simply to treat yourself to something extraordinary. Thank you, Chef Richard Sandoval, for a truly wonderful meal! #MichelinStarExperience #WashingtonDC #ChefRichardSandoval #Delena #FineDining #CulinaryExcellenceMore infodLeñaPrice: Expensive• Latin American• Mount Vernon Square•4.7
