    This BBQ house is a family-favorite of ours. It is a marvelous chance to interact with your dining partners while cooking the food to your specifications. We especially like the Kalbi Short Rib and the broccoli.

    Service was friendly but slow. Found out later that soup wasn’t available and had to re-order something else. Order that wasn’t affected came last and had to prompt to get it made. Was a busy night for the staff and it showed. Otherwise, always enjoy Fresh on Front.

    A great choice for a pre-show meal. They were very considerate of our timing, and the food was remarkable. The drinks were priced steeply and uniformly, but that you can get elsewhere.

    When I made a reservation at Lena, I mentioned in the booking that my father had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and that he was determined to start living life to the fullest. The first thing he wanted to do was revisit Lena, a restaurant he cherished from years ago. While I didn't have any specific requests, I mentioned that great service would mean a lot to us. From the moment we arrived, the team at Lena went above and beyond to make our experience special. They seated us in the best booth in the restaurant. The staff's warmth and attentiveness were immediately apparent, making us feel welcomed. One of the highlights was when they allowed my father to order a meal intended for two, Aurora’s chicken, just for himself, while I chose the noqui. This thoughtful gesture made him feel special and allowed him to enjoy his favorite meal. Our server was incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our visit. In a particularly touching moment, she even remade his coffee because he was in the restroom when it had cooled down. I was so moved by the kindness of the staff that I found myself tearing up as I thanked her for making our time so special. I felt a bit embarrassed for crying, but she was so compassionate. As for the food, it was nothing short of amazing. Each dish was beautifully presented and delicious. To top it all off, the chef came out to say hello, which was such a lovely gesture. Overall, our experience at Lena was wonderful and memorable. The combination of exceptional service, delicious food, and a warm atmosphere made it a perfect outing for my father. I am incredibly grateful to the staff for making this meal special during such a challenging time. I highly recommend Lena to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Thank you, Lena, for creating a beautiful memory for us.
