Lorena's - Maplewood

This was our first time here. We received a gift card for Xmas. It took us from December to get a reservation. It was well worth the wait. From the kindness of the girl in front taking the reservation to the servers to the owner Mario. If I could give them 100 stars I would. Mario is as pleasant and professional as can be. I can't wait to go back. If you hav not tried this restaurant yet. Make sure you do!

Great meal. Taking off one star bc the steak frite was underwhelming.

Lorena's is an elegant restaurant that I like to have gone to several times. Until today I went again and one of their employees named Ana treated me badly and insulted me badly and I didn't understand why. Because the only thing I did was I raised my hand so she could see me and I asked her for two plates and she told me not to call it that way and she said more ugly things to me and I didn't like it and I didn't eat to my liking. I don't know how those guys hire. of people who treat their clients badly

Came for Sunday brunch and there was a jazz trio playing in the dining room.Had the moules frites $26) which was good, though I had to ask for bread the bread was over grilled I was a little surprised they didn't bring bread for the table).My friends had the pasta options and the dry aged burger, enjoyed it.Id come back to try their dinner menu given I read the chefs were ex Daniel Boulud.

I'm over it. Not going back. Offensively overpriced. The $21 burata appetizer that had 3 tablespoons of said cheese, 2 asparagus spears, 2 sprigs of mache, a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds and chopped pistachios. It was ok. The $44 vegetarian risotto- entrée size. Also ok but garlicky. And the $62 entrée sized crepe with crab. Good but too mushroomy. Great, friendly service, lovely atmosphere. Drinks a little strong for my taste. Kid-friendliness: Please don't
