| - I came for dinner for Winterlicuous with two friends.
The décor is stunning, the green sofa on which I was sitting very comfortable but the place was overcrowded with tables. In my opinion when you can see clearly the people on the table next to you, the tables are too close to each other. Also about the washrooms, we had to take a lift to the floor below, really??
Our server was very attentive but for the food he recommended, I will just quote one of the other reviewers who wrote "my level of enjoyment did not match the price tag".
Details about my food:
1. Caldo Verde (kale & potato soup, chorizo, picual olive oil) - very plain with exactly 2 thin chorizo slices.
2. Caballa à la Plancha (seared mackerel, tomato, piquillo pepper & matane shrimp ragout) - a small portion of slightly overcooked fish - nothing memorable. Again, what was the purpose of the ham pieces on the top of the mackerel? What about a person who chooses fish because he /she does not eat pork.
3. Ciruelas Borrachas (drunken prunes, brandy, saffron brittle, crème fraiche) - just OK but nothing special. And I don't recall the saffron brittle very well. I regret that I had not order the cake but I went with the server's recommendation.
4. We shared a bottle of white Argentinian wine - Torrontes - that was really great! Very light and the pineapple flavour was surprisingly pleasant.
I don't think I am coming to come to eat in Lena restaurant again but I will definitely come for a glass of Torrontes after shopping! And I will be also checking the Torrontes selection in LCBO - my new favourite wine now.
