read moreCena provides hit-or-miss experience. While some praise food quality and service, others criticize the high prices, mediocre dishes, and lackluster ambiance. Mixed reviews from guests include outstanding appetizers, under-seasoned entrees, and inconsistent drink service. Some highlight the attentive waitstaff and well-executed dishes, while others express disappointment in overrated wine, small portions, and unimpressive flavors. The chef's presence is noted, but not consistently in a positive light. Overall, Cena receives a range of opinions, measuring up in some aspects while falling short in others.
