The property features five distinct dining spaces, each offering their own unique ambiance. Guests can enjoy convivial cocktails in the Bar & Lounge, or savor a romantic dinner in the Atrium. For an al fresco experience, the Garden’s sunken patio is surrounded by lush greenery, and the fully enclosed Terrace offers stunning views through its floor-to-ceiling glass. DRESS CODE: At Casaléna, our goal is to establish a refined dining ambiance. We deem tank tops, flip flops, beach wear, and team athletic attire as overly casual for our establishment.

Beautiful atmosphere. Pur family had lunch there after high school graduation. Our appetizers were excellent but our main dishes were overpriced and not excellent. Burgers were thin. Sushi Poke was over sauced. Cesar salad was soggy.
