Everything was great. The food was delicious. Everyone had a lovely time. It was early in the lunch hour so it wasn’t crowded which was lovely the service. However there were two guys there was only three tables, including mine and the service took forever so that was the only downside.

This is an outstanding restaurant! The menu is interesting and well executed. Ambiance was unrushed and you could actually conduct a conversation with your tablemates. Give this restaurant a visit, you will not be disappointed.

Nothing was exceptional. Octopus was flavorful, but so chewy it was actually hard to eat. Pan roasted seafood over perm risotto was overwhelmed by a heavy tomato sauce, nowhere near a broth. Could not taste the seafood. Floor was ok, but not what was expected. Overall, mediocre.

Mohammed made our experience so great. He created a round table when others said no and delivered professional and gracious and fun service throughout. He made Scena wonderful. The food and drinks were good too. A nice birthday. Thanks.
