   Absolutely amazing! Came here for my birthday for brunch with friends and we loved it and had so much fun. We sat outside and the fans and covers above the tables are a nice touch on a hot day. Decor is so cute. Service was so great. And the food and drinks were insanely great. Well worth it and the price isn’t bad at all. Will definitely be back.

   We had the best time for our Anniversary. From the very beginning we had Montana serve us champagne on the house and the rest of the night he was amazing! We did not have to wait for personal attention at any moment. D’Leña is always spectacular with everyone’s attentiveness but Montana’s service was the best. We definitely recommend this restaurant for any romantic dinner or any special occasion.

    This restaurant has a great atmosphere and unique menu. Some dishes were great, but we found others to be bland. The main reason that I’m giving it 3 and 4 stars is that our waiter was a bit short and inflexible. Also, the food was definitely overpriced. For example, the Wagyu steak looked and tasted more like a regular tenderloin fillet than actual Wagyu. It was very good, but not sure it was $53 worth of good.

    The food was great, the cocktails and service were not. They brought out our cocktails and entrees at different times so only one person had a drink or plate of food. We couldn’t even tell if my $15 cocktail had any alcohol in it - it basically tasted like juice.

    Food was mediocre and very expensive for what we got. Steak was under seasoned, enchiladas were very mediocre. Ceviche was the best ceviche I have ever had. Timing of the service was awful and ruined our special occasion. One person’s main entree was served almost 45 minutes after the rest of the table so he stayed without his main meal almost the entire time everyone else was eating their main meal. There did not seem to be enough servers and it was hard to flag someone down. We were brought a dessert to share that was to be served hot and we got no spoons so we had to wait another 10-15 minutes looking at our dessert just to get spoons. It was unfortunate because the crème brûlée was the best I have ever had. Same for the queso fundido which tasted amazing. Appetizers and desserts were great - service and main dishes were deeply disappointing.

Isabela C was such a wonderful waitress. She had a great personality and ensured we enjoyed ourselves from start to finish. If you haven’t gone downstairs for the live music, you are missing out! Highly recommend!

    Went for brunch during Pride 2022, the food and ambiance were impeccable. The drinks could be better, however I do understand that when doing bottomless option that drinks will be pre-made. Fresh craft cocktails would set this place above the rest. Nonetheless, it was a great brunch spot!

    This was my second time dining at DLena, and the first time for my sister. Our server was attentive and polite, and so were the food runners. The only complaint we had was that we specifically asked in our reservation notes to be seated at a booth, but were taken to a half booth. The restaurant was not full, and another party of two was seated in a booth after us. I’ve worked in restaurants before, so it was hard to give the benefit of the doubt for why this happened. Either way, the food was great and we will be back. In the future, I just hope the hosts grant guests their specific seating request, especially when the reservation is made months in advance.

    My waiter was very inattentive. We would go 30 minutes in between getting service. I remember specifically we asked him for straws and then watched him walk directly to the hostess stand and chat with the hostess for 10 minutes. We had to ask another waiter to please get them for us.

    We spent our 5 year anniversary there. We both had the wagyu, tequila flight, some margaritas, a few sides, and two desserts. I thought the restaurant would do something special to commemorate our anniversary, especially since we marked it on our reservation, but nothing ever happened. The server did her job but nothing above and beyond. The inside is absolutely beautiful and everything you would have wanted for the vibe we were looking for. My only complaint odds spending $400 for two people and no one said Happy Anniversary.

    Food was creative and excellent. Cocktails - margaritas - could use improvement. Service was mixed - slow, but then food delivery was good. The table top at our table could have used a refinish or a cloth. It felt ‘used’, hot plate rings and water marks that made a negative first impression. Overall, I’d highly recommend for excellent nouveau Mexican cuisine.

    The restaurant had good reviews so we tried it. The food was high quality but really minimal selection and no sides or even tortillas to accompany a main dish. The jumbo shrimp was literally just 6 shrimp on a plate. No tortillas, no salsa, no chips. You can’t even order tortillas as a side. The beer list was small and they were out of almost every one and when I ordered an old fashioned with bourbon I was informed they don’t have bourbon. The restaurant was quite loud. The saving grace was that the servers were very friendly and prompt.

    Dleña was recommended to us by a friend and it did not disappoint. My husband and I celebrated our 9 years at Dleña. The food was absolutely delicious, we ordered almost everything on the appetizer menu and finished it off with a tomahawk steak. Each drink was unique and lived up to its tequila name. Once we were done, we decided to have more drinks at the bar downstairs and it was the best decision we had. The ambience was cool with a touch of classy lounge vibes. They had a live band playing old school Brazilian music, good cocktails, truly a hidden gem. My husband and I even danced a slow song to celebrate. Highly recommend and would go there again.
