I know there are a lot of good restaurants in Scottsdale, but this place is delicious! Food is creative and delicious--definitely lots of unique dishes to try from. The drinks are also delicious and its a fun atmosphere. We went here for a double date and we all had a great time!

Everything Chef Dom and Cast Iron Concepts does is killer. Top notch cocktails and incredible food (the french dip is unreal). Such a cool vibe inside too, love the lounge seating.

We were heading to Hush next door and decided to check out Bar Cena. The hostess said it was owned by the same people as Hush. The atmosphere is fun and cozy. Drinks were creative and yummy. We asked about gluten-free options, and there were two. We settled on prosciutto and parm. That is literally all it is, not even amazing quality. It's more like a midnight snack. Boring. May be the same owners as Hush, but it's definitely not the same Chef. But we will definitely be back for cocktails, perhaps while waiting for a table next door.

We have dined at Bar Cena three times. We are continuously impressed by the divine cuisine. The service is top tier & the ambiance is hard to beat! We will be back soon. :)

I'd give a 10/10 if I could. The food is delicious and the cocktails are phenomenal. Same ownership of Hush Public House next door, but gives more of the lounge vibe as opposed to a restuarant.

Ordered the appetizers to share. Small portions but all dishes were good.

Quaint, cozy and intimate is the best way to describe this lovely hidden gem in Scottsdale. Great for drinks with friends or a date-night. Nothing is over looked here and the food is perfection. If you have the opportunity to visit this place I would highly recommend it. One last suggestion.. Don't skip the shortbread dessert with an espresso martini.

Impromptu visit for Power Hour aka HH on a Friday night. Don't be fooled by the unassuming outside, similar to its sister restaurant, Hush, this place packs a punch on the inside. The bar although small, was already full before 5:00 p.m. when my husband and I arrived so we sat in a small lounge area on super comfortable chairs. We had a very attentive waitress and were really impressed by the price point of their happy hour items which were the same size as regular menu items. The drink lists were equally as impressive. I enjoyed their homemade varieties as well as array of classic cocktails, all which were under $10 for happy hour. I am excited to come back to try their larger format items for dinner. This is certainly a great spot for a quick drink and snack or could be very easily a romantic evening out for dinner. (The popover with cacio e pepe butter was chef's kiss) Cheers!

Date night last Friday for cocktails and appetizers. We sat at the bar and Curtis was an awesome bartender making some very special and delicious cocktails. Watching Curtis was like a show and he obviously knows what he is doing with each cocktail coming out perfectly. The popover was amazing, great prosciutto and muffuletta was very different as well. All cocktails were great and we recommend the risky business, dreamy draw, ace high and sage advice. Nice Happy Hour!

We tried it for Happy Hour on a Friday night. Had the Sqwaw Peak cocktail. Nice and talented bartender. Very clubish atmosphere. Nice elegant decor. We had a few shareable. The best one was the tasty prosciutto. The potatoes cake could have been a bit more cooked. The mussels were surprising but interestingly served cold with a good slice of bread. The Manhattan was perfect.
