   Our second time here. The food was great, as it was last time. The Pumpkin Crab soup and the Carnitas were most satisfying. The big difference was the service. We ate early and the restaurant was only just half full. There were plenty of staff. Somehow, my wife’s entree arrived first. Followed soon after by mine. Last to arrive, to completely fill the table, my soup came last. I voiced my concern at the courses coming out in reverse order and was met with a shrug. Oh, and the soup came without a spoon.. A disappointing and, one would think, easily avoidable service snafu that took the gloss off our meal. DLeña’s food is too good to be matched by a serving experience this bad.

   The place was nice and love the crab guac. But the staff were so nonchalant. They kept removing plates while we were eating and acted like they didn’t care.

    The friendliest staff that I’ve experienced in some time! A little disappointed that there wasn’t communication on the website about not bringing balloons to the restaurant, but they were stored for us. The bottomless food at brunch is a fantastic value.
