    It's always a joy to go to the Escena Lounge and Grill, and on our last visit we were greeted by Scarlett, who did everything she could to accommodate our special seating request! Further, she took the time to patiently and respectfully explain the best way to request in advance specific preferences (e.g., how to reserve for a table of more than four guests, which is the maximum number possible for on-line reservations -- for more than four, one should directly call the restaurant!). Working with all of the professional staff at Escena Lounge & Grill is always a treat, as everyone working there is quite keen on making each dining experience a wonderfully memorable one. The menu has a wide diversity of meals on offer, and everyone can find something that will be enjoyed. Ingredients are fresh, preparation is well-executed, and the presentation is always lovely.

    Mediocre covers so many aspects of this restaurant. Mediocre food, mediocre service (at least today), mediocre ambiance (who bought the unstable tables and uncomfortable chairs). Such a shame.
