Great food and wonderful service. The atmosphere is really nice. I definitely want to go back in the Spring so I can enjoy the outdoor dining area.

Food is very good. Service on the other hand is lacking attention and detail. No greeting by the staff and being seated without a menu given. Our drink order was not correct and not even an apology by the wait staff. And there is the wait for the food. Appetizer took over 30 minutes, and we actually asked for the check as we were ready to leave when they served it. If one is looking for tasty food, this is the place, but don't expect the service one would want to have.

We went here 6 months ago and have a terrible experience but decided to give it another chance. The place is absolutely beautiful. The food was good. Some things were better than others. The service is really bad. No wine glasses, they said they ran out. We spoke to manager and he happened to go find some. The drinks from the bar took forever to come. They said the bar was backed up but no one was at the bar. Even though the food was good I think we won't be returning for a long time. They need to get new management there to run that place like it should be. It's a beautiful place and I hope it succeeds.

I love the atmosphere but Saturday night we sat out back and it seemed like the DJ and the DJ where the party was going on were competing against each other with the noise level. It was so loud that we changed tables and went inside for dessert. Also we asked for bread and the waiter said they ran out of bread and the remaining was going to the party going on. The couple we brought there for the first time was no impressed.

Very slow service which I was surprised as I have been there several times and have not experienced this before.

Cena is lovely! Gracious hosts! Unfortunately the entrees were disappointing. Appetizers were very good especially the pizza! Steak was overcooked and Mushroom risotto was seriously undercooked barely approaching el dente. Our server was lovely as well, but overall she could not compensate for the quality of our entrees. So very disappointing. In the future, I will return for drinks and appetizers.

The outdoor space is absolutely beautiful and makes you feel like you are on vacation. The appetizer salad, clams and meat and cheese board were all excellent. For entrees, my daughters branzino and my son's chicken were also excellent. Unfortunately, my shrimp risotto was more than al dente and not flavorful at all. My husband's lobster ravioli was just okay. The ambiance is great with a DJ and beautiful surroundings, so we will be back to try other dishes, especially the branzino that my daughter raved about.

Was there on a Wednesday and restaurant was busy. While the service and food were great the noise level was extremely uncomfortable. Because of the loud music they were playing, everyone had to speak loudly in order to be heard so the noise level was extremely high. Very poor acoustics in the dining room, which made the overall experience not what it should have been.

The new resturant decor and the staff are Amazing. The food is top notch and always fresh. So happy to go to Cena for diner or just cocktails outside by the bar.

We had 7:00 pm reservation for 6 people on a Wednesday night We didn't receive our drinks until 45 minutes after ordering and only received some of the drinks. The rest of the drinks came out over an hour after ordering. The waitress kept apologizing telling us the bartender was overwhelmed because there were 3 parties and a full bar of people and management didn't schedule enough staff. We requested management several times with no luck instead a friend of the owner came to the table and tried to smooth things over with his so called “charm”. The noise level was unbearable, aside from being too crowded for the size of the restaurant,they had a DJ playing awful music so having a conversation with impossible. Our appetizers and entrees were brought out all at the same time by multiple staff members after complaining to the waitress abut the extended wait time. The bill had to be adjusted several times because it was incorrect, the table next to us had the same issue with their bill. Because of the poor management and lack of customer service we will not be back.
