At Leña, the menu is guided by the most magical and mysterious ingredient in the kitchen: fire. Leña brings together the best elements of Spain’s favorite grill-focused restaurants, including the asadores and steakhouses of the Basque Country and Asturias. Nearly everything on the menu is cooked over embers, including vegetables, meats, and seafoods, with a focus on larger grilled cuts of meat, like suckling pig and lamb.

Our experience at Lena was just OK. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite hit the mark for us. Both the ribs and the wings were over-sauced, which overshadowed the flavors we were hoping to enjoy. We were really looking forward to a great meal, but it didn't quite meet our expectations this time around for the price we paid.

Such a lovely experience and for a great cause. Delicious food, great drinks and even better service. The customer service was amazing! My brother has a nut allergy and we were concerned about it and the chef offered to go to the back and get him food separately! Throughly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back

I highly recommend the artichokes, they were absolutely amazing and the highlight of the meal!! Our server was Adrien who was extremely thoughtful and efficient. I have celiac and Adrien took the extra step, which no one has ever done before, of writing next to every single menu item if they were safe for me.

Prices are high for portions. 7 half chicken wings for $21! Small serving of eggplant and peppers for $16. Tapas shouldn't mean small portions for high prices.

Looking for a decent place to eat in this area of NYC without spending $150 on a tomato was difficult so I’m really happy I found this gem. Great service. Food was very good. Different things on the menu so be sure to take a look before you go so you know ahead of time. Great experience.

Food is good but nothing to get excited about. Some dishes were good, others were meh, nothing was incredible, and for the the price you can get much better cuisine. I would not visit again, probably would be a 4/5 star restaurant in another city but when you have top of the line cuisine in NYC I would not bother coming back here
