What our guests are saying
I went here with a large group because they were willing to take a reservation for a large party on Saturday night. The loft was charming, the food was excellent, and the service was as good as I have ever experienced with a large group in a restaurant. Prices were also reasonable. I can't recommend this place enough.

Had a great time at Lena's, took my wife there for her birthday to the Havana-themed part of the restaurant and experienced the food, music, decor and cocktails they had in store. Highly recommended.

Amazing evening at Lena's! Top-rated staff, clean restrooms and delicious pizza! Will *definitely* return to perhaps explore the upstairs catered space.
