Crystal W. and I came here for lunch almost two weeks ago after watching "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" across the street at the Krikorian. This place has such a convenient location! :) It has a small seating area and bar in the front where you walk in, but then you can walk down the hallway and there's a nice covered patio area in the back.
We started off our lunch with two glasses of their red wine sangria, which was fruity and quite good. I normally prefer white wine to red but since Crystal ordered this one I followed suit.. and I'm glad I did! Then it was time to order tacos... (Esther) SHORT RIB TACOS: Braised Beef with Caramelized Onion, Fontina, Avocado, Cilantro, & Pepper Crema. Two tacos with chips/salsa and roasted yellow pepper. -- This was pretty good. They really piled everything on so it was a bit of a challenge to eat neatly but I managed it ;) The toppings paired with the braised beef well. I also enjoyed eating the tacos with the complimentary chips and salsa. (Crystal) ONE SHORT RIB TACO + ONE PESCADO TACO: Beer Battered White Fish, Pepper Jack, Avocado, Cilantro, Slaw, Red Onion, & Crema -- Crystal's so smart--she was deciding between the Short Rib tacos and the Pescado ones and ended up just getting one of each! I think it's cool that the restaurant will do that for you. I'm not a fan of fish so I was happy with my two short rib tacos, but she really liked getting both of them.
The food is a little pricey for me but this place is definitely a great option for the area. The service was great here as well. I would love to come back here during...

Enjoy the bar and music, or eat on the outside patio and people watch the foot traffic, or bigger parties can enjoy their meal on the back outside patio.
Service is friendly and you are almost certain to bump into a friend. There is parking on the street if you are lucky or park in the Public Parking Lot off Lime Street in the back by the Police Station.
Stroll up and down Myrtle and browse in shops. There is a hand made ice cream store two doors down for a dip of coolness before heading back to the car.
Farmers Market is on Fridays from 5:00pm to 10:00pm, if you so desire before or after your visit to Sena.

Read moreThe worst service I've ever experienced. Me and a friend walked into SENA after hanging out at London's and jokingly playing around with my friend tapped his face due to a conversation we were having outside the establishment. The staff member at SENA saw me "slap" my friend in the face and decide that I was too intoxicated to have a beer. Even after speaking with the staff member and having my friend tell her it was just a joke and nothing was meant by it she still continued to act as though I was too intoxicated. I asked her first name, so that I could contact the management about her and she refused to give me it. I never asked for her full name or for her last name. I simply asked just her first name so that I could have the right to complain and when I asked she stated, " I have the right to refuse service to you." Sure, thats fine but legally, you must give me your first name so that I can have the right to COMPLAIN about the service given. She refused. This happened at I want too say 1:00 am on 3/4/2018. I'm not sure who this staff member is but she is completely unprofessional and if she would like to threaten the customers based off the fact they asked for her first name then I feel she has no place in the costumer...
