dLeña by Chef Richard Sandoval

Loved this place and I can't wait to return! The food was delicious and the service was second to none! Troy was our server and he was so attentive, so much so that I asked to speak to the manager and let him know. And then the manager, Mike, was just as kind! I loved it there and look forward to returning!

Service was amazing — Kristyana was our server and she was so great! Loved the tequila flight, the queso, and seafood enchiladas. Highly recommend!

Bree is the best! Such a great brunch with such good food and drinks. Highly recommend

Bree was amazing!! She made sure our whole party of 7 had everything we needed and kept such amazing energy!!

Celebrated my bachelorette party here and had an amazing time! THANK YOU BREE! She made my experience so amazing!!!!!

Bri and the general manager sere so attentive and kind. Compliments to the chef as the food was amazing. We were there for the bottomless food and drink and it was well worth the price. I have been to several michelin star restaurants and this experience was comparable. I am gluten free and there are multiple options available. They also keep a sharp eye on things to make sure you don’t accidentally eat your friend’s portion and get sick.

Couldn't get a reservation so I ordered the food by doordash and it was AMAZING!!!! I'm already craving more. Can't wait to get back to DC to have it again!!

I came in a group with some of us having serious food allergies. We also ordered a ton of food to keep track of, but let me tell you, Rebecca (our server) is AMAZING! Seriously the best experience I have ever had at a restaurant. I have never had a waitress as attentive, patient and respectful as Rebecca. She was so thorough about what certain people can/cannot eat based on their allergies, and because of her, my group was able to have the best stress-free dining experience. She also gave the best recommendations for food, which all turned out to be amazing. I can’t thank Rebecca enough!! Seriously the best dining experience.

So I was visiting from LA and wanted to find a spot to grab a bite and maybe a have a cocktail. Well not only did I come upon this place with great atmosphere, but the food was some of the best that I’ve ever had. Oh yeah and the drinks were exquisite! Not only were they the perfect pour, (not too much alcohol or too much mixture ) but the service we received from Bri was Next Level! I hope you guys are aware that she’s an asset! Thanks Bri for making it all worthwhile!
Can’t wait to visit next time!

I wish I could give it more stars! I loved everything here specially our server (Troy!) definitely will be back when I’m back in DC.

Seafood enchiladas and margarita were amazing! We also had the Maryland crab guacamole and ceviche and elote dessert that were all delicious! Loved the bloody Mary's also

Sat at a high top with fairly uncomfortable seating, food was decent but not amazing given the price point. Pork Belly and mezcal marg were highlights. Would recommend Oyamel instead.

My new favorite restaurant in DC! Have eaten here twice and for sure one of the best meals in the District. Have eaten at them all, Fiola, barmini, others, this stacks up well against any of them. From apps to entrees to dessert, presentation to taste, flawless!

The waitress started off having a very pleasant attitude but 30 mins within brunch she seem extremely aggravated with us. It was my first time going to this establishment but the other people in my party have been several times before and love the restaurant. This experience wasn't good for them as well. They were so embarrassed because they had spoke highly of this restaurant.

Very attentive and thoughtful staff from start to finish. Made our anniversary special. Very grateful and highly recommend!
