Lena's Wood-Fired Pizza & Tap
I visited Havana 151 (Lena's Wood-Fired Pizza and Tap) on Friday, January 26th to celebrate my best friend's birthday over dinner. Lena's is highly praised for its decor and vibe, and rightfully so. The restaurant looked amazing thanks to the hard work of their designers.
The Experience: Unfortunately, I can only give this establishment high praise to a certain extent. I made reservations for us, so there was no wait. We were seated at a large table that could comfortably accommodate six people, despite there being only two of us. Our server, Brian, was extremely inattentive. It took a very long time for him to return after bringing water to our table to take our food and beverage order. Whenever he was present, he would leave dirty dishes and trays from other tables on our table. I had heard good things about Lena's celebrating birthdays, so I mentioned it was my best friend's birthday when making the reservation. However, aside from the host asking us both whose birthday it was, there was no further acknowledgement. The restaurant was very loud, so we ended up sitting right next to each other.
The Food: We ordered their house cabernet sauvignon, a peach sangria, wings as an appetizer, two orders of fries, and two wood-fired pizzas. The wings were just okay. The fries were excessively oily, and we were charged $7 for one order and $8 for the other. The pizzas, which they are supposedly known for, were extremely underwhelming. My friend ordered the Di Carne, and I ordered the Sausage & Peppers. It took over 30 minutes for our pizzas to arrive, and when they did, they were soggy. Frankly, my pizza tasted like a frozen Red Baron pizza that had been in the freezer for too long. I was greatly disappointed with the entire experience, considering the price and the effort put into the decor. I have no intention of going back and do not recommend it.

Ellipse Rooftop Bar
Ellipse was a nice vibe for an intimate group. The food and drinks were pretty good and were priced well. We got a basket of fries and loaded nachos which they give us pretty big portions of. The views weren’t spectacular but there was plenty of seating to bring your closest a friends.
