" While the food at a Cena was decent, the service could use some improvement. We felt rushed toward the end of our meal, and the atmosphere was a bit cramped. The flavors in the dishes were great, but I believe I won’t return on a busy night again. If you can go during quieter hours, it might be a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to a Cena for both special occasions and casual dinners, and it never fails to impress! Their lobster ravioli is a must-try—it’s rich and bursting with flavor. The staff treats you like family, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. It has become one of my go-to spots in Portland! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly a bit of a mixed bag during my visit to a Cena. The food was tasty, but the service felt rushed. The dish that stood out to me was the polenta with braised beef—it melted in your mouth! Hoping for a smoother experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We really enjoyed our experience here, and our server made sure we felt welcome. However, the wait time for a table on our visit was excessive, and we had to ask for several things multiple times. The food was solid, especially the braised beef, but the evening left something to be desired in terms of seamless dining. " (*Curated Review*)
