Excellent food and service! – My husband and I went to Cafe Ena for the first time this past Saturday night. The food was excellent and the service was top notch! Our waiter, Alberto, was very knowledgable about the entire menu and very personable. The menu was very diverse and we had a hard time choosing...everything sounded so good. I decided on the scallops with coconut risotto. It was outstanding! The atmosphere was very cozy and romantic. We tried the Sangria, which was great, except Alberto told us it was made minus th... read more

Overall, 9/10! – Went on a Monday evening, so not very busy. Got a table right away. Our server was prompt from the initial greeting, to bringing us the check. AMAZING food. We fancy ourselves connoisseurs of calamari. It was probably a 7/10. The salads (Cesar and Cardel) were also 7/10. Interesting flavors for the dressings, and not too heavy. The entrees however were a 10/10. I got the seared ahi on mashed potatoes with asparagus and my husband got the scallops on coconut risotto. They were phenomenal. Great textures. Grea... read more

They nailed it! – Thank you for taking the time to read this review - I hope you find it worth the time. My gal and I fancy ourselves as foodies and we eat out at least twice a week. We had tentatively planned to visit Solera but she suggested that I pick something else - and I found Cafe Ena on Opentable. Jeans are perfect, but you can also dress up if you want. The reviews of Cafe Ena on Citysearch seem to be improving with every passing month, and they are very deserving of such high accolades. We showed up at 9:00 PM for... read more

excellent food and service! (try the Monk fish mmm, mmm good) – after visiting the rest. last night feel i need to leave a review after reading a few of the above - had excellent food and service - was very busy of course on a full friday evening but couldn't tell as we were treated well. Walked in for our res - table ready in 5 minutes, had a great bottle of wine while we waited. Then the food was good from appetizer to the end. The Monk fish was my favorite (am a little biased as that was my dish)! will be going back for s... read more

Love this place! – My husband and I have been to Cafe Ena two times - once this past summer and then again in November. Both dining experiences were delightful. The first time we had not made reservations and had to wait about an hour but it was a beautiful night and got to explore the neighborhood. When we returned we were able to enjoy a glass of wine from their great selection and were then seated. The ambience is cozy and people watching is great. The food is definitely the high point, it is to die for! They use wonderfu... read more

Great New Restaurant in the Neighborhood – The food was great, we had appetizers - they were awesome and my meal and the other four meals were equally good. I have also been there with my kids 6 and 8 and they love it - they can have original orange pop from Mexico and cheese quesadillas they were satisfied. The wine we had was also good. I wish they served some of their bottled wine by the glass - but over all all three times I have been there have been very good

Lousy service, high prices, small portions; food okay – We dropped by Cafe Ena for Friday lunch. Restaurant busy but not unusual for Friday lunch in the city. Very slow service. Waited long time to give order, to get order, and get bill. Finally went to counter to get bill. Waiter couldn't answer basic questions about the menu. Hung around saying "I don't know" until we gently suggested he ask someone in the kitchen. Didn't ask us how we wanted something cooked. Waiter brought us food meant for another table. Salad came miss... read more

We had a great experience! – We ate at Cafe Ena mid-August '07 and had a fabulous experience! Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, the by-the-glass wine selection was nice, our clean water glasses were kept full and the place was packed both at 7:30 when we arrived and were promptly seated, and at 9:30, when we were leaving. My scallops were tender and served with a beautiful mix of julienne vegetables and fruits in a sauce so good I wanted to mop my plate with their wonderful French bread. Every plate that passed our ... read more

BOO cafe ena. worst dining experience ever – We had to sit under the AC vent which dripped all over us AND our food. Our server seemed very overwhelmed and flustered. Our food took a VERY long time I would say almost 40 min from the time we ordered to when we got our food. We never got our appetizer. We didn't get the correct wine we ordered. We ordered one dessert and got another. Our dishes, glasses and silverware were all FILTHY! we had to polish our own silverware. When we just wanted to get out of there our server never... read more
