Stunning indoor/outdoor restaurant, bar and events space with a Coastal Mediterranean influence. Casaléna aims to take diners on a culinary journey along the coasts of Italy, Spain and the surrounding Mediterranean regions while utilizing California’s best seasonal produce and highest-quality ingredients. The property features five distinct dining spaces, each offering their own unique ambiance. Guests can enjoy convivial cocktails in the Bar & Lounge, or savor a romantic dinner in the Atrium. For an al fresco experience, the Garden’s sunken patio is surrounded by lush greenery, and the fully enclosed Terrace offers stunning views through its floor-to-ceiling glass.

DRESS CODE: At Casaléna, our goal is to establish a refined dining ambiance. We deem tank tops, flip flops, beach wear, and team athletic attire as overly casual for our establishment. Our staff maintains a standard of appearance they take pride in, and we kindly request our guests to adhere to our attire guidelines.

Casaléna was a great way to top off our Christmas. Like a star on top of the Christmas tree. They sat us right away after checking in for our reservation. The patio was beautiful with the fountain and lighting. The heat lamps made it so you didn’t even notice you were outdoors. The server was very attentive and was always on top of refilling my Diet Coke. Any delays were due to the bar or kitchen being backed up due to a full house and that’s totally understandable. Everyone did the best they could. The food was delicious, from the squash blossoms and endive and pear salad starters to the Chilean sea bass, NY strip and lamb chops (I think they are a little overpriced for the portion but not too crazy). The sides were great, extra crispy fries are always a win and the veggies were cooked beautifully. The desserts were a perfect way to top off the meal and I know my dining guests enjoyed their cocktails and wine. Thank you for the experience and for staying open on Christmas to spread some holiday cheer 🙏🏻🎄

Loved it I wish I would’ve been told the octopus had sausage I read it afterwards on the menu but had already received it. Overall the pasta was delicious and food was great the Cesar salad I loved. The cucumber mock tail delicious. The watermelon margarita did need a little more presentation but it tasted so good ! The ambience is to die for super gorgeous

Being in from Boston for a quick holiday trip, we were pleased this place was open on a Monday for lunch. Valet parking, quick & polite for under $10. Hostess quickly seated our party of 3 in a covered, sunken garden terrace type dining room . Comfy seating but the youngish crowd was pretty noisy. We are older but I didn’t feel over dressed in my black blazer. The room and the attractive crowd would have been a good setting for a Jeff Lewis or Housewives episode. I got an Amalfi Blue ($16) good, tasting, fizzy lunch cocktail that didn’t leave me pulverized. Casa Lena Burger($18) was delicious. My wife got the Ahi Tuna Sandwich ($24) Looked like big portions, and our guest had the Steak sandwich, also big & she brought half home in the restaurant’s distinctive take out bag. Panettone (it’s Christmas time) and Passion fruit sorbet. Perfectly prepared . The attentive service people were professional and striking looking.

The food was amazing, as usual, and the service was also very good considering how busy they were. It was extremely loud which made it hard to talk at the table, but that's just how it goes on a busy holiday weekend. We had to wait almost 30 minutes after our reservation time to be seated, but the delicious food made up for it.

Far too loud. Like high school cafeteria loud. Like I could hear the conversations on both sides of me better than my own table. 7 pm reservation- I arrived at exactly 7 (I check my watch) they had my name, told me to wait but couldn’t say if it would be for 5 or 25 minutes. It was 12, but with the lack of assurance we’d get a table soon we thought about bailing, seeing the place completely packed. Not the place for a quiet date. But the food was outstanding.
