   We checked out D'Lena's on a cold Thursday January night. We received great service from Katia (sp). The ambience and meals were great. Drinks were good. Our only negative comment is that we felt rushed at the end of our meal due to the staffers need to close up. We highly recommend this spot for a date night or for evening out with friends.

   Amazing unique food. Our waiter offered excellent recommendations. It was some of the best food we’ve had. Would have liked more light on the table to see because the presentation was also amazing.

   Todo estuvo super rico , solo pues evidentemente no es comida mexicana 100% . La única queja es que las bebidas estuvieron muy malas pedi una michelada y sabia a pura agua con hielo y la coca cola sin gas . De ahí en fuera el servicio excelente.

   ¡Gracias por tomarse el tiempo para compartir sus comentarios! Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutó de la comida y tuvo un excelente servicio durante su visita. Lamentamos saber que la michelada no fue tan increíble ni fue lo que esperabas. ¡Realmente valoramos su apoyo y esperamos volver a recibirlo pronto!

   The overall experience at the restaurant was decent, as I visited for a special occasion and we enjoyed ourselves. However, the service at the speakeasy bar on the lower floor was disappointing. The staff serving the tables there, both a man and a woman, were somewhat rude. Despite dining in the same restaurant, we were told we couldn’t sit at the bar tables, even though we intended to order more drinks. We ended up ordering our drinks at the bar but had to stand, so we decided to leave, particularly since there were several empty tables available.

   Hello Gabriel, Thank you for taking the time to share feedback about your recent visit. We're glad you enjoyed dLeña for your special occasion and that you overall you were pleased with your dining experience. However, we’re sorry if our bar seating policies in our speakeasy weren’t clearly communicated and for any behavior from our team that felt rude. This isn’t the service we strive for, and we’ll address this with our staff to ensure every guest feels welcomed and valued throughout our restaurant. If you’re open to it, we invite you to contact us directly at hello@dlenadc com or via private message so we can assist with any other concerns. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with a seamless and enjoyable experience.

   Did not expect to have a sampling of EVERYTHING on the brunch menu…what a pleasant surprise. The speed in the which dishes were served was just right, serving staff very attentive. The mimosas and margaritas were great! Definitely put this restaurant at the top of your list.

   We really enjoyed the empanadas and the pork belly was too amazing for words. For entrees we had the Carnitas Pork Shank and Grilled Oaxacan Shrimp. The pork was good, fell right off the bone. The grilled shrimp wasn’t that great, it seemed overcooked and was hard to remove from the shell. Both came with tortillas that were not very warm and served in paper so they didn’t keep any heat. We would go again to try a different dish and definitely have the pork belly again.
