Great atmosphere outside on the Patio. Food took a while but really worth waiting. Humitas were fantastic - try them! Had the Braised Short Rib and the Fish Tacos. The Polenta is the best we ever had!

Easily the best mojitos in town. Put this on repeat order - Equadorian Humitas, Baked Goat Cheese, Fish Tacos, Mojitos. You just cant go wrong with those.

The beef tacos are delicious. The perfect amount of seasonings. The coffee is also great and served with stick rock candy

The short ribs with polenta are amazing. Ribs melt in your mouth and the polenta is super creamy, it's to die for!

I tried the Beef Churrasco. The meat was tough and chewy. I ended up with 2 bites in my napkin before giving up. Their food quality seems to be hit or miss! The fish tacos were really good!

If you want a double espresso, order two espressos because it's cheaper than an actual double espresso.

Nice place - still some things to work out in terms of service - however, they comped the mistakes and were quite pleasant. I'll try them again.

This place is great, it is usually neat and not crazly packed, only improvement (and a really necesarry one) can be made is a better DJ...

The service is the best part. However the food isn't what it was. Not as trendy, nor high quality. A quick bite with good friends or potential bad dates is why you should eat at Lena. Maybe next time?

Try a mojito. The beet soup is a must followed by gumbo or scallops.

Giant sea clams and duck were tremendous. Steak and ceviche were okay. Service was good. Have a mojito.

Gnocchi and watermelon salad are delicious. Characsco skirt steak not a good cut of meat.

Slowest service I've had at a semi empty restaurant with a truncated menu.. An hr later can I get my drink at least?! Don't come if you can't wait.. But the foods great.

Mediocre drinks, bad food, decent service. "Modern" plating doesn't make up for lack of quality. Better dining options in the price range everywhere on Main Street.

Food is sub par at best. Drinks as well. Cheese plate is good but I would be careful.
