My meal was excellent, but my guests had other opinions. The one who had pizza, said it was bland and no flavor, and the one who had chicken said it was really dry and no moisture or juice.

The food and service was great. There was a power outage just after our main course was served - this didn't phase the staff - the lit a lot of candles and provided attentive service even without power. I will definitely return.

We try to do take out or eat in at least once a week. We love to pick up pizza on our way to the cabin and warm it up in the oven for a late night snack or lunch.

My first time at Alena’s. Loved the ambience. The food was delicious. Ordered the Papardelle with Cianghale. The dish was very tasty but felt it could have used more meat. Also, ordered the ceasar salad as a starter. It was very good but I thought $12.00 for a caesar salad was rather steep considering it’s only lettuce and dressing. There’s not meat or extra ingredients in it. Overall a good experience and will return.

My first time at Alena’s. Went on a stormy night but restaurant was still lively and fun. My spaghetti Bolognese was delicious with lots of meat sauce through and through the pasta. Good wine also. I would have given it a 10 although one of the waiters, not mine, had his mask slipping down below his nose several times during the evening which was distracting. Poor guy needed a better mask that fit!

Overall, it was a great experience. The cocktails and food were excellent. 2 members of our group appreciated the placebo cocktail.The pizza special was exceptional. The salads were a bit on the small side for the price. The Caesar Salad could have used some more flavour, definitely more garlic. The waiter was just very professional. Attentive, but without being intrusive. Very knowledgeable. It was noisy, so I know people who are not comfortable in such a noisy setting. We were glad to be at the table at the front. More vegetarian entrees would be a good addition. Our vegetarian guest enjoyed the eggplant parmesan, but it is listed as a side dish. We kept saying that we couldn't believe that we were in a restaurant like Alena's in Charleswood. Recommendations will be made to friends.

The only negative is that, although I booked several weeks in advance, we were initially given a bar type table at the back of the restaurant with high stools. There were 2 tables together and it was impossible to have a conversation. Had they not been able to move us to the other side of the restaurant, which was completely empty, we would have definitely left and gone elsewhere. Read the room - we aren’t teenagers who want to perch on barstools and yell to each other. This very nearly ruined the evening.
