Sens is French for the word meaning "Sense," which refers to the faculties of sight, sound, smell, and taste that humans perceive this as stimuli originating from the body inside and out.

At Sens we love the process of cooking and its end result, complete happiness. Our inspiration is that of the Mediterranean with its diverse cultures and cuisines. Our goal is not to redefine or reinvent their cuisine but rather to refine and create delicious and beautiful food. We use only the finest local ingredients and exotic spices to elevate our classic and modern techniques. Our destination is and will always be the same, to develop and perfect the flavor, fragrance, texture and composition of each dish while creating a unique and unforgettable experience.

Welcome to Sens.

    Reservation at 6:15pm - didn’t get our food until 7:50pm after having placed our order by 6:40pm - it took over an hour to get the food out. Very disappointing.

    My salmon was very undercooked and I couldn’t finish it. This is a very loud restaurant for a business meeting but great for drinks with friends.

    A very limited menu. I ordered the steak au poivre. It was bad. It was approximately 5/8 inch thick and had that cheap steakhouse pre-tenderized texture. The cook was fine. The sauce matched the quality of steak. The fries served with it were fine. Great location and attentive service but for $46 this was a horrific entree for the price. This is a place for hungry tourists not for people who want fine dining.

    Great food. Busy and loud. Though restaurant reservation was made, all that was available was in the bar. Meant service was intermittent and we couldn’t hear one another. Food was excellent, space is gorgeous.. just not conducive to actual conversation!
