| - My boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised as the reviews regarding service on Yelp weren't that great. The only problem with service we experienced was with the hosts - the lady who served us couldn't find our reservation, didn't smile at all, and made it feel like it was our fault that she couldn't find our names. However, our waitress was very enthusiastic, provided us with great service, and we enjoyed the rest of our experience at Leña.
We ordered only starters to begin with, as the food on the appetizer menu interested us more than the mains. We intended to order our main after but by the end of our appetizers, we were actually quite full.
Quail eggs - I like quail eggs, so this was good, but there was absolutely nothing special about it. For the price, I wouldn't order again.
Clams - delicious but a little bit on the salty side.
Salt cod - nothing special. Pretty much just fish on a layer of hummus.
Leña Stracciatella - Absolutely divine!! Who knew a mix of house-pulled fresh mozzarella, sweet potato, and honeyed clementines would taste so amazing! This was the highlight of my meal.
Monbranca (cocktail) - essentially a mojito.
Many of their dishes came with bread on the side and I really appreciated how they actually used different textured bread to complement each dish appropriately.
Given that we only ate appetizers, our bill ended up being quite reasonable. (~$100 only before tip)
I would come back to try their mains.
