Our family loves Lena's. The food is fantastic and the ambience and atmosphere is always welcoming. What makes Lena's so unique is their marketing and the unique ways they keep dining there a novel experience. Whether it's the rotating experience in their Loft, or dinner with Santa, there's always something really special happening at Lena's.

We had a business dinner at Laporta's and it was a big success. Our server, Denise, was very accommodating and professional, and the food was excellent! There were eight people in our party and everyone raved about how delicious their meals were. About halfway through our dinner, the piano player started playing, and this added a nice touch to the ambience of the restaurant. I highly recommend Laporta's.

When family and friends from out of State come to visit, this is my go to restaurant outside the beltway. Access is easy, great venue at a historic site, wait staff and food is always the best. Ambience; well, you’re dining on many of Martha’s original recipes. Try the peanut soup, it’s delicious!
