    We always have a wonderful time at Escena. Adrian took very good care of us. We are regulars, but we came with friends who had never been there, and they were very impressed and said they will definitely be back!

    The thing that will keep this restaurant in the `need to go back' column is the setting. The food was very good, the service was very good but the setting and views are what separates this restaurant from many other very good restaurants. Can't wait to go back especially when the temps drop into the double digits- we will definately be back before the temps are back in the 80's or 90's but that will be special when it's cooler outdoors.

    We started with the caprese salad and it was a little underwhelming. Tomato’s were soft but the cheese good. The main entrees made up for it as two of us had burgers. They were cooked to the perfect temperature but still juicy. I had the Shrimp and Pasta, and I got more shrimp than I thought, all in a light sauce. I ate every bite! The martini’s were just the right size. Service was attentive but not pushy. We normally go for lunch or weekend brunch and this was our first dinner but it won’t be the last at Escena. They had nice background live music btw!
