This restaurant was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was perfect and the staff was amazing. Our waitress named Frida was the most sweetest and helpful person. She was great in welcoming us at the restaurant and very knowledgeable in the history of the restaurant. The food was so delicious and flavorful. I definitely recommend and enjoyed my time there.

Thje pig and the sides were amazing! Wine was subpar. Music too loud. There is festive and there is obnoxious. The music was good, just WAY TOO LOUD!
Becky
Such great food and gracious service. Felt very authentic. The ambience was warm and inviting. I especially loved the little lamps on the table. Unique.. We shared one of the large platters and it fed 3 of us quite well. The meat was perfectly cooked, the kebabs were flavorful and the potatoes were anything but boring! Would recommend to anyone looking for really great food and lovely atmosphere!

Brought a guest from overseas and was very impressed. Food was delicious. Services was great and friendly. Drinks were amazing. Noise level was loud and hard to hear - table next to us was having too much fun.

First visit to the restaurant. Love the food. Guacamole and the heirloom tomatoes were delicious appetizers. We had the seafood tacos, which were great and the street corn both were excellent. Our server, I wish I could remember her name was great.

This was my fourth visit to the restaurant but my first time experiencing the lunch menu and related service. Still great tasting food. Also awesome service. The Happy Hour menu is lower in price but from the items we ordered, the portions are basically half of the dinner-menu sizes.

Lena Brava is always outstanding. The vibe is so positive and the food is outstanding and full of interesting flavor profiles. Love.

We enjoyed our meal here. The drinks were great, we enjoyed the appetizers, and liked the burgers. The steak frite was just ok, and a bit more on the well done side when we had requested medium rare. Desserts were fantastic also. One thing was that I mentioned while making the reservation was that we were celebrating two special occasions here and they weren't acknowledged! Overall, I'd come back for a casual meal but not a special occasion.
Our small group was celebrating a birthday. Leña Brava gives a cozy chic vibe. Great for small group gatherings or date nights. The service was fantastic. The host, servers, and staff were incredibly kind and attentive. And the food did not disappoint! We're ordered the Baja Mariscada, Roasted Chicken, and Braised Short Rib. The Baja Mariscada was delicious!! It was a wonderful assortment of really flavorful seafood! The roasted chicken was moist and the short rib was pretty hearty. I'd recommend one of their wood-fired platters for sure.

Went to Leña Brava for lunch with coworkers, and the experience hit just right. We kept it pretty straightforward but flavorful—shared theLeña Burger*,wood-grilled ham torta, and papas bravas. The Leña Burger was legit—juicy, charred nicely, and that spicy aioli gave it some extra attitude. The ham torta came loaded with smoky, rich layers, and the fresh bolillo roll held it all together beautifully. Service was chill but on point, and the space has that cool West Loop energy without being too loud for a lunch convo. Solid pick for breaking up the workday or just grabbing great food in a fun spot.
