   We were given the best table outside in the beautiful courtyard. We had out of town guests and they had a fabulous evening. We especially loved meeting Nancy, the new sommelier. She was very attentive as well as knowledgeable.

   One of our favorite places to take Santa Fe visitors for lunch under the canopy of trees. The meal, as usual was excellent.

   As always, the presentation of the food was absolutely beautiful and the flavors wonderful. Service, though very pleasant, was glitchy to say the least. Our server didn’t put in my appetizer order though she put in my husbands so I waited about 30 mins while he waited, staring at his salad until finally decided to go ahead and eat. I did not enjoy my Dionysus cocktail which was way too floral and tasted like rose water or bath oil but it may have appealed to someone else. The margarita was terrific. Everything else, once it arrived, was very delicious.. the burrata salad.. a work of art with lovely range of delicate flavors. We both felt that the Greek salad could have been half the size and price but it was very good. I had the mushroom croquetas which were really tasty and husband had elk tenderloin which he enjoyed. The setting is just lovely on a fine evening.. basically, a good experience apart from the very long wait for my appetizer.

   You cannot find a better patio than La Casa Sena. That’s a bold statement because there are many beautiful patios in Santa Fe. We had the most beautiful Nicosia Salad that was a delicious as it was beautiful. The service, as always, was perfect!

   Enjoyed the lovely patio and our Server was very pleasant. However the food was disappointing. We both had the lamb rib let’s, but could hardly chew them. The beet salad was okay but not great. The price for fish was extreme. It was fish, not lobster. Maybe we will go back for lunch where prices might be lower.

   Food was decent, appetizers were better than the entrees. Seafood was mediocre for a “Mediterranean” menu/restaurant. Service started off great but declined as the restaurant got busier (6:00 pm reservation). Outdoor patio was great.

    The courtyard is an oasis just off the Square. The Salade Nicoise is exceptional as are other fish entrees. The Margaritas are delicious and not made with a mix. Christian is an excellent server - knowledgeable, helpful and attentive but not fawning. We ate here twice in 3 days and I would go again.

    Excellent food, ambiance, and service. Mediterranean cuisine is a nice change from all the New Mexican menus here in Santa Fe. The jazz on the weekends (Club Legato) is an elegant and sophisticated escape.

    Simply lovely with one of the most beautiful salad presentations I have ever seen and it was as delicious as it was pretty. It was truly a delightful meal. We returned because of our experience during our last trip and will return again and again. In spite of a ridiculous storm rolling through the restaurant quickly moves patrons indoors. Love this place.

    Excited to find there was live jazz in the side annexe. We had a choice of the dining room, patio or jazz lounge, so if you're not a jazz fan, just go for the food.

    We had a lovely pre-Father's Day dinner on the shady patio at La Casa Sena. We've come here many times for outstanding food and the lovely outdoor atmosphere. Service is attentive, the specialty cocktails are creative and delicious. All of our food was excellent: Lamb Riblets, Apricot Pistachio Filo Rolls, Atun Sellado (seared tuna), and the seafood filled Cannelloni. Highly recommend, especially for a special occasion.

    Casa Sena has lost its touch on good food and elegant dining. Looked like they had two waiters for the whole patio, tables had a long wait order for drinks. The Manager was bringing drinks to tables, and offered to buy a neighboring table’s drinks due to the slowness of service. After our initial drinks, our waiter immediately asked if we were ready to order, we weren’t but we did. My Wife’s martini didn’t come in the shaker to be poured at the table, just in a glass that looked to be roughly 2/3 the old size. One of her reasons for choosing Casa Sena was that they make a great martini. Not any more. She reported that it was just average. When the salads were gone, we were not asked if we wanted other drinks. I had to ask a bus person to get my waiter to order a glass of wine for my Osso Buco. Half way through the meal my $25 glass of by-the-glass Cab showed up. As I recall, liqueur is a profit center for restaurants. Doesn’t seem like it at Casa Sena. However, the Cab was good but not at $25 when last year it was $16……. On the other side, my Osso Buco was good, although the pasta shells numbered roughly 12. My Wife’s Filet was good, but half was very under cooked for a medium rare (closer to a rare….) and it came home. Again, good, but not up to what I would expect for a $245 meal. In conclusion, the service during our meal at Casa Sena was slow and sloppy, not professional. The food was passible, but not at the asking price. The drinks were expensive and not up to past standards. I last ate at Casa Sena last October, inside, not in the patio. The service was slow and unprofessional then too, and the food wasn’t up to previous standards. I’ll give them one more chance in a few months, before I write the restaurant off……..

    I hadn’t been to La Casa Sena in quite some time so was surprised to see the Mediterranean menu. We decided to order all apps, and had the mussels, hamachi, crab cake and Caesar salad. The mussels were very good as was the hamachi, that was beautifully plated with citrus fruit, watermelon and a basil sorbet. My dining partner had the crab cakes, which were served on a cold tarragon soup and were excellent. The Caesar salad was somewhat too overdressed and a bit too much lemon, but again, a nice presentation. I’d go back

    We are locals and have been going here for a long time. We think it is the nicest outdoor venue in Santa Fe. It is one of our special occasion spots. The switch to a more Mediterranean restaurant over the past few years has generally been well done. My wife has the napoleon and I had the shoshuska. Both were very good. The niçoise salad and the trout are two of our other favorites. The service provided was excellent.

    Such good food and service. The waiter even bought our dessert because it was our 39 year anniversary. Everyone was polite and courteous. I had ahi tuna and lobster and my wife had beef tenderloin. Both were exquisite in taste and presentation. The wine was excellent and they even offered us complimentary champagne due to the occasion.

    Always one of my favorite restaurants in Santa Fe. The host was gracious and the waitstaff was friendly. The courtyard was beautiful and quiet. The menu was well conceived, and the food was excellent. My wife particularly enjoyed having more than one vegan option, and the zucchini dish she selected was inventive and well presented - not an afterthought as are vegan and vegetarian dishes often are elsewhere. I had a seared tuna with lobster risotto. Also excellent. My only negative comment is that the service was at times over-attentive. If either of paused eating, even for a moment, the waitstaff would immediately ask to clear the plate. While well intended, it made us feel rushed. It’s also awkward when one person is still eating and everyone else has had their plates cleared.

    Great wine list and incredible values if you join their club membership. Staff the night we were there weren't super familiar with wines but the quality of the wine selection more than made up for it.
