Fantastic food and service, I was expecting based on other reviews. The flavours were complex and balanced. What was unexpected (and a delight!) was that Leña Restaurant also served excellent coffee and non-alcoholic cocktails. I get the impression that every detail of the menu had been carefully thought out.
