Great food, great service, great selection of wine.

Good food and service is attentive. I found the food to be a tad overpriced. The blood sausage was amazing though!

Food was amazing as always!! Mother’s day brunch was exquisite, love this restaurant so much

The first impression was very upsetting. Inspite of having a reservation we were made to wait without being even acknowledged of our presence. Members of the team perhaps may have been busy irrespective felt like leaving. Once we were seated then the rest was okay. As they say first impression is the best impression but Lens Restaurant failed us. Sorry to note this.

First things first: the service. Our waitress Elizabeth was utterly awesome. EXTREMELY dedicated and professional. Made us feel like we were the only diners in the restaurant. Thank you for everything Elizabeth! The decor and ambience were also really nice. My partner - who is Argentinian - was saying that the upstairs seating area reminded her of the family house back in Cordoba! :) Well done here as well! Lastly, the food and drinks...I really wish I could be as dithyrambic as for the rest but alas, it was a bit of hit and miss: - cocktails were delicious (Empress for my Beloved and El Diablo for me) - wine was on par - the Gaucho empanadas, shishito peppers and pan de miga were scrumptiuous - the Branzino tartare was delicious The rest was sub-par... - the spicy papa bravas were extremely dry and lacking crunch - the charred shrimps were pretty meh and tasteless. If recall correctly, there were 5 or 6 of them. 28$ is a bit much for such a plate - the escarole and endive salad was very plain. All in all, a more than decent experience thanks to the amazing service, delicious cocktails and some very good food. Will definitely give it another try down the line. PS: no matter how much she earns, give Elizabeth a raise! :)

It was a great time our server was in training but we wouldn't have known if we weren't previously told. She new the menu well, was attentive and gave great suggestions!

I expected more for the price.Service was good when waiter paid attention to us…

To be quite honest the food is terrible. The ambience is nice and service is good.

One of best meals I have ever eaten. Amazing

Food was great. Servers were amazing and so professional. We sat in an alcove upstairs. Very sweet.
