The Verdict

Leña by #mechlinstarchef Spanish chef Dani García. Originally born in Marbella the restaurant is the latest addition to St. Regis Gardens. Contemporary and charming dining space. The food was disappointing. Ok at best. Nothing appealing or memorable. The desserts were the best part of the meal especially the Torta Rosa. I rarely agree with @yousefalulama but on Leña I agree with him that it is a mediocre experience. Note: All steak sauces were alcohol based which is a strange. Some items had the sign A but had no alcohol while others didn’t have the A and had alcohol!
