About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for groups
  • Lively
At Leña, the menu is guided by the most magical and mysterious ingredient in the kitchen: fire. Leña brings together the best elements of Spain’s favorite grill-focused restaurants, including the asadores and steakhouses of the Basque Country and Asturias. Nearly everything on the menu is cooked over embers, including vegetables, meats, and seafoods, with a focus on larger grilled cuts of meat, like suckling pig and lamb.

    Food was delicious, well prepared and service was quick and friendly. Only wish that the main dishes came with some sort of side such as rice or vegetables without having to add on a side at an extra cost.

    I was explained by a staff that a la carto menu would be like tapas for 2 to 3 persons, so I thought the portion should be small, but actually it was large enough to share with 3 to 4 persons. We couldn't reach a main dish for that.

    I had an awesome experience; first of all, the food was on point. As a Spaniard living in New York, I think that makes it even more impressive. The ambiance was well curated, with nice red tones and low light, definitely giving you the feeling of not being in the middle of a big open market. My captain Andreu, was attentive, not too intrusive, and very enthusiastic with food descriptions, something that hospitality professionals lack nowadays. He elevated me and my wife's experience. Looking forward to going back, I will be recommending the spot! Artichokes with romesco are a must-try!

    Food was terrible, probably the worst Spanish food i've ever had. The paella had no vegetables and the chicken was overcooked and all skin. The croquettes were dripping in oil from the cheese and had no substance or taste. The salad was COVERED in parm and super offputting, and the seabass...i'm shocked the kitchen actually let that go on a table. Never coming back here and will gladly warn all my peers.

    Burger was delicious. We liked our waiter who gave good advice but staff was pretty absent. Hostesses weren’t friendly at all.

    Some items are overpriced. But hey, you’re dining in Hudson Yards so you pay for the location as well. 😂

    It’s an open restaurant in a food court. A bit louder than I expected. The food was good, but not great and certainly not at that price.
