Stunning indoor/outdoor restaurant, bar and events space with a Coastal Mediterranean influence. Casaléna aims to take diners on a culinary journey along the coasts of Italy, Spain and the surrounding Mediterranean regions while utilizing California’s best seasonal produce and highest-quality ingredients. The property features five distinct dining spaces, each offering their own unique ambiance. Guests can enjoy convivial cocktails in the Bar & Lounge, or savor a romantic dinner in the Atrium. For an al fresco experience, the Garden’s sunken patio is surrounded by lush greenery, and the fully enclosed Terrace offers stunning views through its floor-to-ceiling glass.

DRESS CODE: At Casaléna, our goal is to establish a refined dining ambiance. We deem tank tops, flip flops, beach wear, and team athletic attire as overly casual for our establishment. Our staff maintains a standard of appearance they take pride in, and we kindly request our guests to adhere to our attire guidelines.

Been here many times. First time sitting upstairs outdoor. Tables are way too close to each other. Felt like I went in a party of 6 sitting between two other couples. Big space up there, spread the tables out a bit.

I have mixed feelings about the restaurant. The server and back wait staff were excellent, providing great service and promptly cleaning up between courses. The food was also fantastic—far better than I would have expected from the area. However, the hostesses were quite unfriendly and seated us at a very small table squeezed between two couples. It was uncomfortably cold towards the end, and despite seeing that I was wearing a small dress, the hostess made no effort to accommodate us with a more suitable table. At 98 pounds, I could barely fit between the tables without knocking into them, so I can only imagine how uncomfortable it would be for someone larger. To make matters worse, the hostess set our menus down and promptly walked away, leaving me feeling even more uncomfortable as I had to awkwardly squeeze in between the tables. It almost felt like she knew the seating arrangement wasn’t ideal and wanted to leave before I could say anything. It was the worst when i had to get up and use the restroom. I really didn’t like the layout. At the end I tried to talk to the hostess, but she was very dismissive so I just walked away.

We were celebrating two birthdays and there wasn’t a candle on the dessert plate. Service was ok. The server didn’t explain the menu or ask if we dinned there before. We just ordered when she stopped by. I think for the price point the server could be more personal. Maybe the restaurant doesn’t do anything for birthdays or maybe my server forgot.. I’m not sure but it left me a little disappointed. The food and ambience was great though.

Beautiful space, slow but good service, unfortunately not easily handicapped accessible. The door to access without steps was locked, the patio has no ramp, and there was not a designated handicapped parking spot near the front. Overall lovely restaurant, but hope they focus on further accessibility soon.

We had a posh Christmas dinner at Casalena and it was so lovely! Our server Ashley was so helpful with suggesting delicious items on the menu. Before dinner martinis were perfect, appetizers amazing and we all loved our dinners!! The service was impeccable and such an elegant ambiance! I would highly recommend Casalena for a wonderful dining experience.

Outstanding and magnificent ambiance, decor, service, and food quality. Each time we have visited we have been thoroughly impressed. However, this time twice, on the first try and on the re-try, the 2 filet mignons were not medium rare but more like uncooked raw meat towards the center. The price of the 2 steak orders was deducted, so they were gracious, understanding and helpful, but getting filet mignon to the right temperature is high end restaurant principle 101. My niece, an elite Yelp reviewer, was totally impressed with everything and gave top star and numerical ratings until the filet mignons which were essentially not edible; 2 people did not really get to have their entrees. Anyway, still one of the very best and top of the top restaurants anywhere, but unfortunately could not get the filet mignons right for Christmas dinner.
