   The food was amazing! Multiple portions that actually get you full (unlike other dining experiences that leave you hungry). I would recommend this experience to anyone.

   This was an amazing experience. This is now my top restaurant in DC! My husband picked this restaurant for my birthday, and it was the best birthday meal I’ve ever had. From the time we sat down, the service was top notch. We decided to do the cocktail pairing with the meal, and it did not disappoint. Each cocktail was perfectly balanced and complimented the meal. The food presentation was thoughtful and beautiful. The taste was phenomenal. I loved the brightness and flavors of all the dishes. My review will not be able to capture how special this experience was. We will definitely be back!

   The chef's table was absolutely worth it. From start to finish, the food was amazing, the service spot-on, the cocktails were unique and interesting, and the experience was unforgettable. Chef Camacho and his team created and prepared an incredible eight course meal. The presentation of each course was as spectacular as the flavors. One of the unique features is that Chef Camacho prepares each course right in front of you. We felt like we were right in the middle of the action, while still having an intimate experience. We can't wait to go back to the chef's table, the restaurant, the bar, or the speakeasy downstairs. dLeña is a definite go-to spot.

   Nothing short of top knotch food and service. Perfection. My wife and I couldn’t stop talking about it all the way home. Becca our server was outstanding, making our experience at the chef table super memorable. We wanted for nothing all night. Chef Carlos food creations are amazing and unforgettable. We were blown away. We were met by the GM Josh, a gracious and very approachable host. If you ever get the chance to dine here, take the chef’s table, an experience that cannot be equaled, but make sure you ask that Becca be your server. She adds to the perfection. We will do this again.

   The chef's table is an incredible experience!! Every course was beautifully crafted and delicious! Watching the kitchen run throughout the night was a treat; it felt like we were immersed in a cooking reality show with a the flames and the controlled chaos of the staff. We had the cocktail pairing which was just as artistic and exquisite as the meal. All the portions and cocktails were generous, so bring an appetite if you go with the chef's table experience. We were so impressed with the service of the staff; the table was wiped clean with every course and waters topped off constantly. It was evident the team was working together to stay on top of every detail despite the rush in the kitchen.
