    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.

    Yes, Mark! We are humbled that you think so highly of both our unique delicious dishes and vibrant presentations. We're so pleased to hear Chef Camacho was able to provide you with an incredible engaging and personable experience. On behalf of the entire dLeña team, thank you for your generous review and recommendation; we look forward to hosting you again soon at dLeña!

    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.

    What a wonderful review. Paul! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you and your wife had such an unforgettable experience at our chef’s table. Becca will be delighted to know that she made your evening extra special! Chef Carlos will also be honored to hear how much you enjoyed his creations—he puts his heart and soul into every dish, and feedback like this makes it all worthwhile. And of course, it’s great to know that Josh helped make your visit even more welcoming. We’d be absolutely delighted to host you again and our team will be ready to deliver another exceptional experience. ¡Salud!

    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.
    dLeña - Chef TableResponded on 21 November 2024
    Thank you so much for your glowing review, Giselle! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Chef's Table experience. Our team takes great pride in crafting each course with care and precision, and it’s wonderful to know you appreciated the artistry of the dishes and cocktails. Watching the kitchen in action is definitely a unique part of the experience—we’re glad you felt the energy and teamwork that goes into every detail. We’re so happy you were impressed with everything, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable evening soon!
