Came in around 2PM for lunch on a weekday, it wasn't full but there were couple of occupied tables. I always wanted to dine here as they have beautiful decor and was excited but slightly hesitant as to why this place only had 3 stars on Yelp.
We started off with the broken avocado salad and the quail eggs. Then for entrée we had the carbonara and calamaretti, finished off with egg white flan. Now.. the eggs were just boiled eggs with some mayo sauce on top and the avocado salad was more dismantled rather than thoughtfully broken down decoratively. Both tasted fine but lacked finesse. For entrée I had some dietary restrictions and had to tweak the dish a bit. Our server took every word carefully and the chef executed it perfectly 100%. I really appreciated that and would've given a 4 star.. but leña lacks that 'umf' in their food in both flavour and presentation. The chic art deco bar in the centre with the tall lamps are definitely beautiful but that's it. Oher then that, from the dinnerware to the layout of the restrooms.. it was subpar. Overall it's an okay restaurant but I wouldn't be coming back as there isn't anything I'd particularly miss especially at that price point.
