Restaurant Review
Old spot, new take
Ann Arbor’s Parthenon is ancient history; Lena’s stiff cocktails and Latin American menu are en fuego
Spanish yapingacho: Potato cakes stuffed with queso blanco, avocado, peanut sauce and chorizo.
Published: October 31, 2012
Among the desserts, the standout is a decadent tres leches cake served with a fig jam-stuffed merengue. Impressively, the menu has changed a few times in the two months since Lena opened. On one occasion, I overheard the staff discussing online reviews, and the management actively seeks feedback via comment cards. It's clear they're committed to customers, and that's historically a recipe for success.
