    Our experience at Escena Lounge & Grill exceeded expectations. The cuisine offers excellent value without pretension - truly quality food in a stunning patio setting. Service staff were consistently friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the bottomless champagne ($14), a flavorful breakfast burrito ($18.50) with sausage and breakfast potatoes, a classic wedge salad with blue cheese ($16), seared tuna salad with avocado (though the tuna had a slightly fishy note), avocado toast, and a delicious burger topped with caramelized onions ($17). Everything reflected the upscale country club atmosphere in their beautiful mid-century modern setting with spectacular mountain views. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor dining with a dog-friendly patio. We'll definitely return.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
