We were here during the dinner with Santa and the experience was amazing. Santa walked around to tables to greet children, read them a story, and took pictures with each family while engaging children in talks about their wish lists. The food and service was great as well. We will be visiting Lena’s more often!

We were able to enjoy Lena’s dinner with Santa. What an amazing experience. The most amazing Santa came full of surprises and entertainment for the kids. And of course Lena’s food is always delicious. Everyone was in a festive spirit.

I come to Lena’s a lot and always bring my family when they are in town visiting. I took my mom for her birthday on Monday and we were very disappointed in the service. I made sure it was known it was my moms bday and it was not acknowledged. Our server was nice but a little absent. The restaurant did not start getting busy until the very end of our meal or we would have understood if she was in the weeds. My dad ordered a latte and received what looked like a coffee with a splash of milk. Had we not already paid prior to receiving the coffee we would have never paid $6 for a gross coffee. We also did not have the time to sit around waiting for our absent server to pass by and wait for a replacement latte. Overall, very below average experience than we are used to at Lena’s. My mom would have never chosen this as her birthday dinner had she known we were in for a frustrating experience.

We dined at Havana 151 for brunch. It wasn’t too crowded and we ate from Lena’s Wood-Fired Pizza menu. Food was yummy and the ambiance was really cool. Will be coming back for dinner to get the special menu experience!

We were seated at the last table in the very back away from the main room and bar. Before our two hour reservation was over, the restaurant turns off our lights. Rude. No warning, nothing. Like what? I would have glady moved to the bar if we were given a heads up. It was 8:25pm and the restaurant was halfway to capacity. Our waitress was great, food and drinks were good.

My stepdad and I went on a Wednesday night and I guess we went like an hour and a half before close so I’ll give them some grace. However, the food was great, but drinks are NOT strong. Our waitress was not attentive due to her helping clean the restaurant for the night. Also want to note that we sat in the Havana 151 area which was very cute!

Overall fine experience but some thoughts -the pizza someone in my ordered came out a solid 15 minutes before the other entrees which was strange -the restaurant was unbearably hot and there is something with the acoustics that also made it very loud -drinks were honestly the highlight, delicious and well presented -everyone was overall friendly Would I go back — yes to regular Lena’s, no to the Havana 151

The food was delicious and I had the best Mango Mojito I’ve ever had! The vibe and ambiance of the restaurant is top tier! This was my first time and I’ll definitely be returning.

Lena's never disappoints. We had a party of 10 teens for a Sweet 16 Birthday celebration, and our amazing server Porsche did not miss a thing. She was kind and patient, and she served the girls and I with a smile! Thank you, Porsche and Lena's for another phenomenal experience!

Went to Havana 151 in the loft for lunch and were disappointed to learn that the Cuban menu was only available for dinner. Ordered from the usual Italian menu instead and enjoyed the food. Service was slow - finished eating our appetizer before we received our drinks (a soda and a glass of wine). Looks like they need additional staff. Parking is tough but we lucked out with one of the last spots in the lot.

We reserved at the upstairs dinner club location. It's called Havana151 and it has a great ambience. We were seated close to the love music which made it difficult to talk at times, but the band was good. The food is the same menu as downstairs, with some specials added. Good quality.

Loved the gluten free pizza, cozy ambiance and live music on a Thursday night. We threw our friend a baby shower here and it was the perfect vibe.

I celebrated my birthday at LENAS and it was amazing. Two complaints, one person in our group it took a long time for her food to come out when the rest of us had our food. Another person in the group ordered pizza and it took awhile for them to bring her a plate!

The timing of when our food came out was off and it felt like the food had been prepared before we ordered it (not fresh).

A trip to Havana, no passport needed! This is a review of the upstairs dining room(s) at Lena's, currently (and hopefully forever) decorated and furnished as an elegant Cuban supper club called Havana 151. We ordered from Lena's extensive lunch menu (which is also available upstairs). Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. Our server, Katie, was engaging and knowledgeable. We will be back for lunch (on Wednesdays, when Katie is on duty), and for dinner, when they have Havana-influenced specials. Highly recommend.

we are regular’s at Lena’s and love to bring all our out of town guests. We usually bring them twice during a visit because they love Lena’s so much. Service is always great and so it the food. It is so much fun to watch the Loft change theme’s too.

I’ve gone to Lena’s for years, and will probably go again, but after this recent experience I would rather go other places for the price point. First, not sure how a party of 5 is this huge “big party” for Lena’s where they can’t split a check and make a big deal regarding a reservation, including a mandatory 20% gratuity, which our server tried to tell us was a service charge and not their gratuity (yeah, he literally tried to get over on us for an extra tip). While the service was okay, talk about a huge disincentive for quality service. Our server rarely got around to us, was super slow to check back and messed up two orders, which we ignored one and corrected him on another.Iif he’d tried just slightly harder, maybe would have given more than the “service charge” for the huge burdensome group of 5. Lena’s, maybe examine what you consider a large group, most restaurants I’m aware of do not consider 5 a large party. Additionally, prices have gone up significantly over the 2 years while food quality is lackluster and feels rushed compared to years ago when we started coming. Looks like they just threw a meal together based on a rushed recipe rather than took care in preparation of a meal. More reminiscent of a chain Pizza Hut than a 20$ plus personal pizza at a mid-tier priced restaurant. Maybe the catering to tourists is working out for them, but us locals will likely seek out places that value their customers.
