dLeña will offer diners over 250 seats in its 5,000 square-foot indoor and outdoor space. The new restaurant is designed to blend old-world forms and refined modern design. Diners will feel the traditional, rustic wood-burning cooking hearths of time past throughout the space.
Diners will travel to Oaxaca, Mexico, through a multi-sensory experience in every bite of Chef Camacho’s signature smoked large plates, grilled on the restaurant’s signature wood-burning grill. Dishes include Wagyu Steak a la Piedra ($48) served with poblano pepper, caramelized onions, homemade salsas, and made-to-order tortillas; Camarónes a la Diabla ($30) smoked chili marinated shrimp with chipotle sauce and grilled spring onion; Coliflor a la Leña ($16) charred cauliflower with a chimichurri and watercress lemon salad.
Embracing its Mexican and Latin American heritage, dLeña will also debut a beverage program that highlights wine, tequila, and mezcal distributors. Diners can expect beverage offerings such as the Ceviche de Setas ($14) to Vertical or Horizontal Tequila/Mezcal Flights (ranging from $22-$27), the beverage program collectively elevates any dish on dLeña’s menu and introduces diners to artfully crafted flavors.
