" This was my second time at Lena, and it did not disappoint! Last time, I couldn’t get enough of their French onion soup—it was rich and flavorful, just as it should be. This visit, I decided to try the pork belly, and it was amazing too! The only downside was that the portions felt a bit small relative to the price. Nonetheless, the service was fantastic the whole time. I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a good meal in a pleasant setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dinner at Lena was an overall pleasant experience but not without a few hiccups. While the chocolate lava cake was divine, the main course (beef bourguignon) was a touch dry. The atmosphere was lively, perfect for a night out with friends, and the cocktails were fantastic. I would recommend it but just have your expectations set for the food accordingly. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is definitely one to visit if you’re in the area! The atmosphere is lovely, perfect for anyone who appreciates a cozy dining experience. The cocktails were fantastic—not your average mix, but creatively crafted. I can’t say the same for my main dish, which was lacking in flavor. I'd go back for drinks alone and give the food another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lena L.E.S is cozy and captures the essence of what a French bistro should be. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the wine menu which was superb. We ordered the tempura of vegetables as a starter, but it felt a little soggy. However, mains were spot on—especially the pork belly! I'd visit again to try their famed desserts! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Lena L.E.S to try their mixed seafood platter and it was magnificent! Fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked, with an array of delightful flavors. The staff were very welcoming and provided timely service. The atmosphere felt homey and intimate, exactly what I was seeking for a dinner out. I can't wait to explore this menu further on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lena is fantastic! The cocktails are creative, and their food was delightful. I had the duck for dinner, and it was perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a nice touch of local art adding to the charm. Definitely a place I would recommend for a relaxed night out with friends or loved ones. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Lena expecting a classic French dining experience, but I was left feeling underwhelmed. The escargots were a letdown—they seemed more like a mushroom mix than anything authentic. The service was decent, but it didn’t make up for the disappointment in my meal. I can appreciate a cozy atmosphere, but when I’m craving authentic French food, I need the flavors to be spot on.
