About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
At Leña, the menu is guided by the most magical and mysterious ingredient in the kitchen: fire. Leña brings together the best elements of Spain’s favorite grill-focused restaurants, including the asadores and steakhouses of the Basque Country and Asturias. Nearly everything on the menu is cooked over embers, including vegetables, meats, and seafoods, with a focus on larger grilled cuts of meat, like suckling pig and lamb.

    The hostess was great. She cleared a corner table for us, since it was a better table than one that was ready but not in as comfy as a location. Unfortunately our first menu choice Arroz de Bogavante wasn't available--The server did tell us she would check and came back several minutes later. Honestly, this is probably the 3rd time we ordered it and were told it wasn't available. So, then we ordered the Lubina a la Donostiarra, which in the past has been good. But this time it was oversalted and worse, after waiting a long time, was tepid! You would have thought that due to the wait they were cooking it and would have brought it out while at least warm. We left most of it on the serving platter. We did like the salad that went with it. Bottom line is that we love the idea of Leña and Little Spain, but usually come away disappointed because of inconsistent execution, or lack of availability of many items. Also, the dessert counter in Little Spain closes way too early. This is not the Spain we know. In fact, the entire place shuts down way too early. We are probably going to give it a couple more tries, but more than likely give up soon.

    Food was delicious, well prepared and service was quick and friendly. Only wish that the main dishes came with some sort of side such as rice or vegetables without having to add on a side at an extra cost.

    I was explained by a staff that a la carto menu would be like tapas for 2 to 3 persons, so I thought the portion should be small, but actually it was large enough to share with 3 to 4 persons. We couldn't reach a main dish for that.

    I had an awesome experience; first of all, the food was on point. As a Spaniard living in New York, I think that makes it even more impressive. The ambiance was well curated, with nice red tones and low light, definitely giving you the feeling of not being in the middle of a big open market. My captain Andreu, was attentive, not too intrusive, and very enthusiastic with food descriptions, something that hospitality professionals lack nowadays. He elevated me and my wife's experience. Looking forward to going back, I will be recommending the spot! Artichokes with romesco are a must-try!

    Food was terrible, probably the worst Spanish food i've ever had. The paella had no vegetables and the chicken was overcooked and all skin. The croquettes were dripping in oil from the cheese and had no substance or taste. The salad was COVERED in parm and super offputting, and the seabass...i'm shocked the kitchen actually let that go on a table. Never coming back here and will gladly warn all my peers.

    Burger was delicious. We liked our waiter who gave good advice but staff was pretty absent. Hostesses weren’t friendly at all.
