Stunning indoor/outdoor restaurant, bar and events space with a Coastal Mediterranean influence. Casaléna aims to take diners on a culinary journey along the coasts of Italy, Spain and the surrounding Mediterranean regions while utilizing California’s best seasonal produce and highest-quality ingredients. The property features five distinct dining spaces, each offering their own unique ambiance. Guests can enjoy convivial cocktails in the Bar & Lounge, or savor a romantic dinner in the Atrium. For an al fresco experience, the Garden’s sunken patio is surrounded by lush greenery, and the fully enclosed Terrace offers stunning views through its floor-to-ceiling glass. DRESS CODE: At Casaléna, our goal is to establish a refined dining ambiance. We deem tank tops, flip flops, beach wear, and team athletic attire as overly casual for our establishment. Our staff maintains a standard of appearance they take pride in, and we kindly request our guests to adhere to our attire guidelines.

This is a joyful place, festive with excellent unusual dishes. It’s also very loud and lots of birthday singing. All good - but it’s not for a quiet conversation, romantic dinner, unless you sit outside.
