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.

I had a good time and will return. The servers tried hard but seemed to get lost sometimes, I guess too much of a holiday rush. Food was nice but not top level.

Our reservation was at 8pm but we had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated. Plus my daughter’s meal was served five minutes later than the rest of the party’s dinner. Also one of the sharable item was late but the server, who was not that attentive throughout the night, was kind enough to remove it from the bill.

We had a great time celebrating the holidays here. Food and services were excellent. The ribeyes steak, fish, seafood pasta, and mussels were so tasty. The noise level was high on the main dining area but we found there are other areas like outside or upstairs, seems like a bit quieter. We are already planning our next gathering here again soon.

Our experience was amazing. The server Corey was very attentive, knew details of the dishes, and was very opening to conversing and listening. We had the wagyu meatballs, pesto rigatoni, Bianca pizza and finished with the chocolate mousse. All were delicious!

Heard so many good things about Casaléna and we chose to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary here as it looked such a great special occasion place. Although the food and ambience was wonderful the service left us quite disappointed as we really wanted to love it. When we arrived for our reservation we were told there was only outdoor heated patio seating available. We were asked if this was okay, I said no, but they said there was no other option even though we had a reservation. Not a great start. When I booked on OpenTable there wasn’t an option for indoor or outdoor and I believe this may be intentional. We weren’t dressed for outside so asked if we could turn on additional heaters. That wasn’t possible either. I asked for a blanket and luckily they did have a nice one but it felt like an afterthought. The business is running like clockwork with impressive efficiency but it felt cold (physically and emotionally!). Not a word from the hosts or waiter until a candle lit on our deserts by the busser. We even said it was our first time and no welcome or run down or thank you for choosing us. There is a sense that they wanted to turn table as fast as possible. We asked for more time between finishing our mains and ordering dessert because we were hoping for a more relaxed romantic evening. Feels super chic and instagram worthy but lacks heart!

The food was okay, nothing to write home about. The octopus was tender and tasty, the Carpaccio was covered with greens and nothing special, the tuna tartare was fine, and the best dish might have been the passion fruit sorbet. Several times, we had to ask for silverware. The outdoor seating was impressive with lots of greenery and heaters. The long bench against one of the walls, would creak and bounce every time someone got up or sat down - so the entire row of a dozen ladies from different tables would feel when the other guests got up or sat down. For what we paid for this, we won't be returning.
