At Leña, the menu is guided by the most magical and mysterious ingredient in the kitchen: fire. Leña brings together the best elements of Spain’s favorite grill-focused restaurants, including the asadores and steakhouses of the Basque Country and Asturias. Nearly everything on the menu is cooked over embers, including vegetables, meats, and seafoods, with a focus on larger grilled cuts of meat, like suckling pig and lamb.

The food was not interesting and expensive, but the real issue was that the service was extremely slow. After waiting over 1.5 hrs to get all our food, the assistant general manager was very nice and did the right thing by comping our meal. The wait time was ridiculous considering that most of the food was not good. The grilled shrimp were completely unseasoned and lukewarm, the oysters that were far too small to serve, and the roasted veggies were ice cold. I ordered a boozy hot chocolate which is prominently featured on the drinks menu and after it didn’t come for 20 minutes, the waiter then said it would take a lot longer and offered me something else instead. At the end of our meal, we finally got the one appetizer we ordered! I would strongly not recommend going to Leña when there are so many other quality restaurants in New York.

Amazing experience, service was 10/10. Appetizers were great, presentation was great. Food was vibrant, steak could have been a little bit better for the price but an amazing rib eye for SURE. A little loud but very cool spot tucked away in a corner with all those other Spanish restaurants . Should be its own Gem one day when Fine fine tuned 9/10 FOR SURE.

The most spectacular experience that you could have outside of Spain is at this restaurant. I know I am in the restaurant business and I own my own restaurant and I bought people from out of town three times already and it is nothing but five star thank you to the crew the chef, the managers, the waiters, the bus boys, like I said five star

Hi Luigi, It's Steven. We spoke before you arrived. Really happy that we hit out the park again for you and the guys. I've notated you in our log as a "PG" (Preferred Guest) and the next time that you are in I will make sure to be there. Again, thanks for the support. Happy Holidays!

Our experience at Lena was just OK. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite hit the mark for us. Both the ribs and the wings were over-sauced, which overshadowed the flavors we were hoping to enjoy. We were really looking forward to a great meal, but it didn't quite meet our expectations this time around for the price we paid.
Leña at Mercado Little SpainResponded on 28 November 2024

We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide you with a better experience. Best regards, Steven & The Management Team
