   Grilled oysters were amazing but the pulpo tacos were phenomenal. Service at the bar was great, bartenders are very knowledgeable about spirits and make great recommendations!

   dLeña was great. The food was excellent: the branzino was so good! My friends ordered the lamb shank and the wagyu fajita style and they loved their dish. It was very very busy so the service wasn't the best. The waitress was all over the place. I'd still come back though!

   dLeñaResponded 3 days agoOur servers do their best to take care of you as sometimes it gets extremely busy. But don't worry - that won't stop us from making sure you have a good time as well on your next visit. Our lamb shank and branzino are some of our most popular dishes on the menu! Can't wait to have you back soon.

    I think D’Lena has lost its touch as most restaurants do when they become “popular”. The brunch food used to be very delicious, but yesterday, it was not as good. I was telling my friend this, this morning and she mentioned that someone else had recently told her the same thing. Our server was not that great and extremely inattentive, but she surly added her gratuity. Thank goodness Troy came in and saved the day and gave us great service. I’ll probably hold off going to D’Lena for a while.

    dLeñaResponded 3 days agoOur brunch menu is a highlight and filled with a variety of authentic dishes, a fun lively vibe and a dedicated staff; so our team is disappointed to hear that you did not enjoy it as much on your recent visit. It is our hope that we have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

    The food was delicious! Every bite was flavorful. We had the oyster, crab guacamole, short rib al carbon, and lamb shank. We both loved our entrees. The ambience and cool and sexy. Great for any adult outing with friends or a date. Service was fantastic. All staff were super attentive and polite. I would definitely come again. It’s turned into one of my favorite DC spots. I hope to enjoy the lounge more in the future. The live band sounded good.

    This place is totally booked through May. But was able to book a reservation for a birthday in the afternoon. I get a call the day of letting me know that they close at 3pm so to get there on time and order before 2:45. Felt rushed ordered drinks and they take well over 25 mins . So I ask why rush me when I’m a paying customer . Other than that the food was great the ambience was awesome.

    dLeñaResponded 3 days agoWe were able to honor a last minute reservation for your special occasion and we're so delighted you enjoyed your overall experience.

    Was a great experience. Food was amazing. I was disappointed with 3 things, though. 1.)the amount of guacamole. Seemed like the plate that brought out with gauacamole and chips was taken up by the chips—guacamole was a very small amount. 2.)the no free-refills thing. 3.) there supplier was screwed up and they missing my favorite items from the menu. No Diet Coke or my favorite beer. This is not a negative review—was amazing food. However, these three things was kind of a let-down.

    Service was excellent. Everyone that we encountered were friendly and efficient. The server was knowledgeable, attentive and energetic. There was a good variety of items on the menu. The food was good but not excellent. I think some items could have used more seasoning,not just relying on the smoked flavor. The alcoholic beverages were delicious.

    The food is always so amazing! My feedback though is for a slower all you can eat brunch service. They were coming out so fast and piling up on our table it felt like a marathon…we weren’t even an hour in and had gone through the whole menu. A slower service would have increased satisfaction and allowed us to really enjoy the food.
