Alena

It’s definitely a great spot to sit outside, enjoy a glass of wine, and have something to nibble on. We ordered the bread basket with dips, which came with two types of bread. Both were okay, served with what seemed like a tomato confit-style dip and thini. It was fine, but felt a bit disconnected from the rest of the menu and the meal. The Caesar salad was good overall, though nothing particularly special. The cacio e pepe was a nice dish, and we also ordered the tomato sauce pasta with a “bar yam” fish skewer. The skewer was the absolute highlight of the meal. For dessert, we had the cheesecake, which was quite good. The main downside was that some of the plates and wine glasses were dirty. It also took quite a while for the servers to come by and pour wine from the bottle we ordered. That said, the service was still reasonable overall, and the staff were very nice. Important to note that I’m a harsh critic mainly as this spot was 850 for lunch which means every detail matters.

We had an amazing evening at Alena. We had lots of different dishes, we were a diverse table including vegetarians and gluten free diners and we all had great fresh and tasty dishes. The atmosphere was plesent and elegant stuff were super nice, friendly and professional. Came back for a fine dining evening. We had dishes from the seasonal menu and standard menu and found everything to be extremely good. We will come again

This is a fine dining restaurant, so I'm judging it accordingly. Every small detail matters and is taken into account. Overall, the food was tasty. There was nothing bad about it, but it lacked excitement, uniqueness, or anything special. The flavors and complexity were very average. Therefore, I deducted one star. In addition, we ordered the eggplant pizza, which was delayed and arrived approximately an hour and a half after we arrived at the restaurant. Despite an apology, there was no compensation offered. Furthermore, when they asked if they could bring the main courses in the meantime, I requested that they not arrive together with the pizza (as it would be too much food all at once). Unfortunately, they did arrive together, and as a result, I deducted another star. To make matters worse, they charged a staggering 34 shekels for a bottle of water. This crazy price cost them yet another star. As a fancy fine-dining restaurant, it is usually customary for bottles of water to be complimentary (as I have experienced in many similar restaurants). And if they are not, they certainly do not cost 34 shekels. On a positive note, the service was good overall, a bit slow (it took them 25 minutes to take our order). Additionally, the portion sizes were quite generous compared to similar places, which was a pleasant surprise.

Dinings is definitely one of the best Japanese restaurants I ever have. They surprise me of their nice service and food. Their Japanese food is not just tasty but creative, some taste are very authentic and some are very cool that I never seen in Japan. The food is just so tasty that I go there once again when I visit Israel again. The chief is very kind and friendly! The whole atmosphere is amazing nice. Location is very convenient. Must go try out! The price is comparatively high but worthy to try it once at least. Try the creative and authentic Japanese food!

Words cannot describe the food here, we enjoyed every bite. Dishes are overall excellent (with small flaws, e.g. parsley with onion as a ‘side’?). Decently sized. Service is 10/10 and the atmosphere is luxurious and romantic. Highly recommended
