An interesting culinary experience. You MUST visit and I suggest the gigantic shrimp, as well as the short rib tacos. The service was to die for and all at an affordable price point. Well done, dLeña!!!

I recently dined at D'lena and had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious. The flavors were exceptional and left me wanting more. I ended up doing a walk in & ended up at the bar, my server at the bar was Paul! He truly made my visit outstanding! He was attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. His knowledge of the menu and willingness to ensure my dining experience was perfect truly stood out. I highly recommend Dlena to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience with fantastic food and top-notch service!I had the squash soup & wagyu fajitas on a hot plate. The steak was also very good especially combined with the broccolini.

Wanna be fine dining missing all the details. The food was average (for the price) and our server knew nothing about the menu. Can go to Barcelona or equivalent place for half the price and twice the service. I wouldn’t recommend this place to a friend. Went here for my birthday dinner and was disappointed.

I recently had a birthday brunch here and loved it. I had a large party of 17 people booked in advance. The event team and manager were very professional and accommodating. The food was amazing and my brunch party thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. My only con would be that I wish the restaurant had private rooms for large parties, as management complained about our noise level several times. It was unfortunately hard to quiet down a group of 17 people that were there to celebrate. Otherwise, the service was excellent and I will certainly be back in a more intimate way with fewer people.

I’ve been counting down the days to my reservation. Took my husband here for his birthday celebration dinner and it was wonderful. Shannon was our server and she was so pleasant and kind to us. She gave great recommendations. Our drinks were excellent we even got two rounds and the bussers cleaning the tables were on-top of it. They were also pleasant.The only thing I had a problem with was a man in a suit coming to the section we were in and just standing there, it made me feel a bit rushed and uncomfortable but he was just doing his job most likely. Totally recommend this place!

Wow! Rarely do I write reviews, but this place was definitely worth the visit! The vibe and ambiance are impeccable. The staff, especially Troy, were extremely attentive and made us feel special. We were celebrating three birthdays, and he surprised us with three beautiful and delicious birthday churro displays, all for free! The food, particularly the tacos and crab guacamole, was incredibly delicious—some of the best I've ever had! And the margaritas? Fresh and with every flavor under the sun, all freshly squeezed. I can't praise this place enough. Though we're not local, we'll definitely be visiting d’lena again when we come back to town.

I came to dLeña at the end of March for a birthday brunch for my best friend and the service was FANTASTIC! All of the staff were very attentive and accommodating, however, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Zeus and Adrian personally. They were so engaging with our entire party of 15+ people by asking us about personal allergies, bringing food to the table very swiftly and overall, just continuously checking in to make sure we were doing well. I appreciate their attentiveness and highly recommend coming to the weekend brunch because of Zeus and Adrian (along with the rest of the staff’s) excellent service!

So I came here twice and one time is was late night and one time right at five. The first time I came for a birthday dinner and it was cute! I had oysters I just didn’t like the stuff that came on it so next time I’d get workout. I wasn’t too hungry so I ate my steak the next day and it was good!I went back a second time- and this time got the mushroom tacos and they were soooo yummy! 10/10 would recommend! Also I got a mocktail. But yes try them tacos! My friend also got the chicken and she loved it! They also have a dessert of amazing churros for the celebration person and they were really good! I would recommend! Service is good and servers are attentive and nice.

Zeus made sure our drinks were constantly refilled. He was a great host making sure we had drinks and food available the whole visit.
