   This place is like magic in the city. My mom and I came here for a quiet birthday celebration and we got the best experience ever. The food was absolutely delicious and hot! The best thing about this experience was my server Jelena K. She went over the entire menu to make sure I knew my gluten free options. She offered white glove service and because of that I didn’t have to worry about any gluten cross contamination. I can’t wait to come back and sit in Jelena’s section again. Thanks for caring Jelena!!!

   DLena is a 10 out of a 10! The food is AMAZING! We went for brunch and did the bottomless food & drinks (2 hour time limit). Everyone at the table had to order the bottomless food (but not necessarily the drinks) which comes out family style. They automatically bring the food out like 3 items at a time … pretty much going down the menu until you’ve tried everything. You can order more of any of the items you like within your two hour window. If you get the bottomless drinks as well, I would recommend the margarita. But if you don’t want to drink liquor early in the day, any of the mimosas are a good choice too. Honestly, you’re gonna be to busy eating to drink those endless drinks anyway.

    This place is elegant with an awesome vibe. We went for birthday lunch and the food was amazing. The service was speedy and friendly. Royal, our server, was knowledgeable and superbly attentive. Their empanadas are absolutely incredible! This lone visit has made this one of my favorite spots within DMV area.

We're so thrilled you enjoyed the delicious empanadas, and a true dLena dining experience! We welcome the shoutout for Royal; we'll be sure to pass it on.

    Excellent service (our server's name was Montana and he was great), and the food was simply phenomenal. Perfectly prepared dishes that were very unique and flavorful. Having the food prepared over an open flame makes a huge difference. Overall this restaurant reminds me of the higher end restaurants you'd find in Mexico City. You really can't go wrong with this place. The desert selection was also very good. We had the Mil Hojas de Panqueque Argentino - highly recommend it. Will definitely be back.

    The host was extremely rude. When I greeted her upon arrival she acted like I had interrupted her. The she sat us and didn’t tell us that we would not be able to do the bottomless brunch. Our waitress informed us that it was too late and we would need to do a La carte. We said we were okay with that. Then she disappeared for 15 minutes without taking our drink order. So we sat there for 15 minutes with nothing to drink. After taking our order, she didn’t come back to check on us and only appeared to tell us that it was last call for food.

    I am a huge fan of dLena, but was not entirely happy with the brunch. Some of the food items just weren't as good as I would have expected for dLena, specifically the tortillas and some of the early courses just weren't great, unfortunately!

    We were looking forward to a great dining experience after reading so many fantastic reviews, unfortunately we did not have that experience. The service was poor from the start, and there seemed to be confusion about where we were being seated and were forced to stand awkwardly on top of another table full of guests while they quickly set our table. The server was slow to greet us, and denied my 40 year old husband drinks due to an expired ID. Interestingly, no other guests were ID’d during the time we were in the restaurant. Our first dish we ordered was the wagyu empanadas, they came out ice cold in the middle and had to be sent back. The second round came out and were luke warm. All of the food lacked flavor, and we only stayed for appetizers given the poor service and lack luster food. Overall a disappointing date night. Pro Tip (in case this happens to you) - We ended up across the street at Bartaco with much better service. Highly recommend!

    Richard Sandoval has done it again. D’Lena is an upscale and delectable dining experience with a chic vibe. I made a reservation but decided to stay at the bar for the half priced margaritas. My guest had the happy hour tacos and I ordered the lamb shank. I was pleasantly surprised at the Flintstone sized drumsticks. They were so flavorful and tender. I definitely recommend for happy hour or a night on the town.

    I go to Caps games once a week and this whole time I thought this was a brick oven Italian restaurant. It's a wood fired oven Mexican restaurant that is to die for!! The food is amazing and the ambiance of the restaurant and the downstairs jazz bar is second to none. Will definitely be returning to try everything on the menu.

    So glad we finally got to eat here! We ordered the mercado and tamarind margaritas - both were well balanced and delicious. The waygu empanadas, pork belly, and oysters were the highlights of the meal. Corn empanadas were good but not the most exciting, they’re fine if you’re looking for a vegetarian option. The short rib tacos were also delicious but not too much meat on them. For dessert we had the crème brûlée (delicious flavor but came in a really shallow bowl, it would be even better in a slightly smaller and deeper dish), and the crepe cake which was super light and delicious. We can’t wait to come back!

    The food was amazing for the bottomless brunch. However, it would have been appreciated for the pace to be slowed down between courses. At times 3 courses were brought out at once so things would get cold before they were tried. The mimosas were great!

    Went here for their New Year’s package ($150/person, 5 courses) and it was kind of a mess. The food came out very slowly and out of order. The waiter we had barely came by, and we ordered drinks that took a very long time to arrive (and had to ask for repeatedly). I asked for a manager because we never got the third course and the wait was getting ridiculous. For a planned amount of tables/people, they should’ve had it more together. We were supposed to be seated for an hour and a half, and it took about three hours to complete our meal - making us miss our next reservation. Also, we brought our own bottle to drink and were told there was a $25 corking fee, but they charged us $35. In my opinion, the portions were small, but the food was very good. Prior to this, I came here for a date night, and it was much better. Margaritas are amazing. Downstairs area has live music, but cramped and crowded. Avoid the events at this spot, and come for dinner or date night instead.

    This is the second year in a row that we’ve gone to dLeña for NYE, and if it weren’t for general manager Josh Gray and manager Justin (didn’t get his last name), I’d probably have left another star off of this review. We ordered the NYE prix fixe menu and, although the food was decent, the service and quality were not. Our entire third course was missed, wait times for the associated wine pairings with each were extensive (food was sitting out for 8-10 minutes at some points as we waited for the drink pairing), and one of the pairings brought out to us didn’t match the course. Given that everything had been prepaid (including a 20% gratuity charge), I was pretty unhappy with how things had gone, thus far. However, Josh came over to check on our group multiple times once he realized things were wrong, and even provided us with complimentary shots of mezcal and DJ 1942 as the night went on. Justin also exuded a masterclass in patience and steadfastness in dealing with a belligerent set of patrons at the bar behind us that had clearly not made a reservation, and were making a scene about not getting seated. They (thankfully) ended up leaving afterward, but the situation was handled very well by him. All in all, management did a fantastic job of handling mishaps and making sure that at the end of the night, we felt special.
