The name, meaning “firewood,” matches the theme of the restaurant, “a Spanish-inspired neighborhood restaurant featuring fresh ingredients kissed by fire.”

The menu includes many classic Spanish tapas and more.

"Our dinner menu at Leña features a range of Catalan and Basque inspired dishes created using the freshest ingredients possible, in a simple yet delicious manner. From Pintxos to full plates, our menu is vegetable and seafood forward, but also offers our guests a wide variety of options,” the restaurant says.

Leña also offers an extensive and exclusively Spanish wine selection. "Our list was carefully selected to pair with our food and focuses primarily on organic, sustainable, and biodynamic wines. In addition to our wine list, we celebrate the Aperitivo hour and offer a selection of sherries and vermouths to prime your palate, as well as a signature Sangria that’s a celebration in itself."

The new spot will be open Wednesday-Sunday, and reservations are available here.
