    Lena Brava is a winner. Our server Yvonne set the stage for the evening with opening cocktails that were terrific. But this place is all about the Woodfire grill. Be sure to order things that are cooked within it. We had the lobster tacos and the Seabass for 2 with red and green Mojo. The fish was presented on an elegant platter with grilled asparagus, completely filleted with hardly a bone to be found. The meal was spectacular.  This place is a real gem in the West Randolph district.
