The restaurant abruptly closed without notice. No one contacted me to alert me to the situation until I arrived at the restaurant and found it locked and dark. It is unfortunate since I have dined here in the past and really enjoyed it.

I've had lunch at LA Casa Sena on several occasions & has always been very pleasant. Food & cocktails were great, atmosphere on the patio is nice. This time though, there was no alcohol due to loss of their license, this was communicated to us just before the reservation time. But the sad part was the patio was overwhelmed by flies. We were swatting away flies the whole time. It was awful. Did not enjoy our food, did not want to stay and have any desserts or coffee because of the flies. I hope they remedy the alcohol issue, and also spray the patio to eliminate the flies, or provide table fans or something.

Very disappointed that this Gerald Peters restaurant is another victim of his holding company deciding not to renew its liquor/beer/wine licenses for their restaurants. What makes it worse is the dishonest manner in which they are taking reservations through Open Table and then hours before your reservation sending an e-mail that they don't have alcohol to serve as if its some sort of thing that just happened. We've learned that its been over a month since the license expired. The notice is too late to make a new reservation somewhere. There was a whopping 4 tables on a Thursday evening and a super slow kitchen which I can only assume was understaffed. Giant disappointment all around.

Problematic that Casa Sena lost their liquor license. Beautiful outdoor courtyard dining but tough when beer or wine isn’t offered, especially at dinner.

The owner let his liquor license expire, so there is no wine with lunch or dinner.
