Sena On Myrtle

The female bartender and half the waitresses there need to loose the attitude. Just because your attractive and have your boobs sticking out of your shirt doesn’t justify the fact that you’re rude and then expect a large tip for the minimal service. The food there is priced top dollar for what your getting, and it’s nothing that special. When they first opened, I thought this restaurant was a nice positive change to Myrtle. It’s slowly getting worse, and worse everytime I go there. The management needs to train their staff and provide better service. It wouldn’t hurt to loose half the staff with the bitchy attitudes either.

Hmmm I’ve came here twice and I guess this place is cute and not crowded. The food isn’t bad either but nothing spectacular if you ask me. The shred pork nachos aren’t bad I do like that.
There is something that I do like here though it’s there secret sauce that they give you and I seriously put that on everything. It has a little kick and I don’t know what the sauce consist of but I love it. I honestly like the sauce that much for me to order food just so I can put that sauce on. LOL
The service here is pretty good. It’s kind of cute in back with the whole fire backdrop. If you want to get some good food and not wait for a long time I guess you can come here.
Drinks are good they are strong so if you like to drink I would suggest coming here. They have tvs so a great place to catch the games.
Nothing to rave about if you ask me.

There is very limited food selection for vegetarian or pescetarians, but the watermelon jalapeño margaritas make up for that shortcoming. All in all, this is a great place to meet up with some friends for happy hour!

My husband & I drove from the beach for a birthday and had some time to kill. We parked and walked this little darling downtown Myrtle St area.
The hubby walked up to Sena to look at the menu as I looked up Unilocal scared-​considering the «unfriendly» reviews.
Our experience is nothing but positive, from the moment the hostess handed us the menu.
She was super friendly as was the bartender. He suggested great dishes, made great drinks, particularly the short rib taco!
All good from our end!

Sena on Myrtle– DON’T EAT HERE! INATTENTIVE, RUDE STAFF!!! UPON LEAVING, WE WERE PUBLICLY AND FALSELY ACCUSED OF NOT PAYING THE BILL WHEN IT WAS ALREADY PROCESSING AT OUR BANK! NO APOLOGIES FROM THEM!!! A young woman waited on our table of 14, gave us separate checks that included a forced tip because of the size of our group, and picked up our payment. When we were leaving, My spouse walked ahead of me and the manager blocked me from leaving the patio toward the front of the restaurant, accusing us of not paying. I told him I saw my spouse pay and the bill in its little can was no longer on the table. When the manager finally moved aside, I walked through the restaurant and out the front door, then he accosted us both on the sidewalk.
We showed him our copy of the paid bill. on my phone, I looked up and saw the already processing bank transaction. Perhaps they should watch their employees? Are they stealing?
This was very disappointing because I’d heard nothing but good things from friends and was really excited when we arrived… quaint patio in the back. Good food & drink, although overpriced. We won’t go back!

I had some friends in from out of town. We were looking for a cool place that had beer and wine and good food. Sena hit the mark. It has a cool vibe and the waitresses are on top of it. I had some of their tacos (which are BOMB!) My friends had fish and chip and were really impressed. They travel to LA often from Atlanta and said they are glad I showed them this spot. They will be coming back!

Love this place. Perfect for a nice brunch, lunch, dinner, or a night out for drinks. The set up is perfect, lots of seating inside and out, lots of space at the bar. The food here is so delicious and a little unique but everything on the menu is good. The vibe and décor is very modern, the staff is always friendly and welcoming. At nights the place can get crowed with a mix crowd of people while everyone can enjoy a good time drinking. I am not a fan of mixed or sweet drinks but i gotta say the Strawberry Margarita is LEGIT here (SO GOOD) :) Try it!

Just want to say thank you to our server tonight Connie. She was very patient and friendly to my 11 year old daughter and her friend. My daughter is allergic to gluten/​wheat and Connie was very informative and compassionate to her needs. Thanks Connie we will definitely be back!!!

(Late post) I’m sad to see that others had a terrible experience here. I guess it’s all about timing. I’ve been here on the weekend for breakfast (brunch time) and the service and food was great.

I’ve been going here now for about 5 years. It’s a favorite. I meet friends here and take my wife here, our son loves it… so we are really not «occasional» visitors.
My first review was a solid 4++. All the things I mentioned are pretty much still true even today. Here’s the reason for the rating decrease: inconsistent.
Cold food, food that comes out early, or late, or wrong; service that is more of a «3» than a «4», dirty tables, and changing menu items. So — inconsistency. I have a great meal but my wife’s food is cold, my friend doesn’t have a drink yet, and another friend’s order is wrong. Next time there and just mix up the order: I don’t have a drink, the chips are cold (like from a refrigerator), the dip is great, the taco is great, we didn’t get requested water and a setup is missing, etc etc.
You just don’t know. It’s inconsistent. So, slipping down to a 3 for now, and I’ll update the next few experiences. For now enjoy — but be careful, flexible, and lower your expectations…

got to say. The service has really gone down hill. The last two times I have gone, service was HORRIBLE. I just went this past Sunday with my boyfriend, and we sat at the table for 15 minutes and never got help. Even though the servers were off in the corner chatting with each other the entire time. We got up and walked out and went to t-​Phillips. Seriously??? What is with that?
I know the owners also own Nikki C’s, which has spot on service all the time. Who ever manages Sena needs to be fired. Food is pretty good, but with service as bad as it has been, I will go else where.
Sorry Sena, I am out.

My best friend introduced me to this bar for the first time but after that i have been visiting this place frequently. If you want to go for a drink and being loud stay in the front area but if you want to eat and have a nice conversation sit in the back. It’s a cute patio and your going to enjoy the experience. From the menu, i love the ribs tacos. Omg, the meat is so juicy that you want to keep eating more and more. The order comes with two small tacos but I forgive them because the flavor is there. The ceviche is good too. And of course, the drinks… yea a lot of options. Can’t complaint, good service.

Such a neat little find. I went once unknowingly in the evening for beer and another during lunchtime in the day. Since I don’t remember much of that night, except that there was a bouncer and I didn’t quite enjoy the beer I was having, this review is just for my experience in the daytime. I loved their Kobe beef sliders on their specials menu (Thursday at noon). It came with two sliders filled with generous bits of bleu cheese and just had the most wonderful taste to it all. Don’t let the word sliders fool you. These two little bad boys are decked out and can easily be one single regular burger. Their fries also taste fantastic. It might be twice fried? I forgot to look on the menu, but regardless, I still dream of those fries right now. They had other enticing items on their menu like the short rib grilled cheese and the lobster grilled cheese that I will definitely be coming back for. The burgers looked fantastic too. I didn’t much care for the beer selection there, but my coworker said that their margaritas are bomb.
There are plenty of seating in the back patio area down the hall, past the bathrooms if the front gets filled up. Plenty of free parking on the streets, even at night.

Great food and drinks, great patio.
Dismal service.
We waited an obscene amount of time for drinks to come. I was going through glasses of waters so quickly that I asked if they could bring me a pitcher. Instead, they just brought no water to the table or even checked on us for another 45 minutes.
If they can get the service tightened up, I will gladly come here every weekend.

Wasn’t the best bar on the block but very nice for what it is… It’s less crowded than the counterpart a few buildings down… The environment was better for quieter drinking instead of the loud noise but definitely a place to hang out with friends
The prices wasn’t too much… The waitresses were extremely slow at service… The service I would give 2 stars given that we ordered and it took over 10 mins to get drink when there was no one at the bar… The bartender was nice but the actual service of getting the drinks just took way to long… We were at the other bar a few buildings down and we got drinks in less than 5 mins after order and there was at least 2−3x more people ordering drinks.
Definitely a slower pace would Come back again just for the environment when I wanna go on a date with my girl and talk since it’s not as loud and the place is actually nice and inviting

This place was just what a 3 star review looks like, «A-​OK.»
I give the service here a 1 star, sorry, but were you half dead or something?! Show some personality! Yikes! Also asked to be sat in a huge (open!) row of tables in front of the fire pits and were told they were reserved for 9pm. We arrived at 8:30, left at 9:30 and still no people at those «reserved» tables. What a scam in that department!
Food on the other hand was seriously GREAT, minus guacamole which was too chunky in my opinion. We had the short rib tacos — so flavorful and big! Also split the chicken sandwich which was really amazing, along with the yummy crispy fries.
Drinks were STRONG. We all had the Moscow Mules… loved.
Great, reasonable prices. But then again, I was visiting from San Francisco… the land of the $ 13 dollar cocktail and 20 buck burger.

Went on an off time around 2 pm for a drink and snacks.
Service was prompt and friendly, drink poured properly and was offered a menu.
Then these three apparent regulars come in like they owned the place dropping names and F bombs. The bartender had no control over these idiots though he looked like he wanted to toss them out.
Ordered a little food and it came out very good and quick.
Note to owner:
Get a handle on these people who are regulars as they chase away people like myself who spend real money.
If this is what I should expect when I go there then I will most certainly not return.

Want to really like this place… too bad service leaves much to be desired since you’re lucky to even be served! Who doesn’t staff their restaurant appropriately?! Ten minutes for a water… seriously. .give me a break. No thought of coming over after my friend and literally sat and waved his arms… I know, usually bad form, but dang, couldn’t even get a menu for crying out loud.
Oh well… I’m sure the regulars here who the staff dote on will keep coming back and back. I mean I would to if my server flirted with me and bartender gave me free drinks.

I was a little nervous about choosing this restaurant to go to as I was not sure I would find food that I could eat as a vegan. I selected the restaurant based on the people who were joining me (they are big meat eaters).
To my surprise, they had the option of substituting any taco meat with either beer-​battered zucchini or grilled zucchini. I opted for the grilled zucchini tacos and it was delicious! The photo posted shows the taco I had. The two tacos and the tortilla chips were definitely plenty of food to satisfy my hunger.
Service was quick and easy. The restaurant was dog friendly which was perfect for my aunt and uncle who brought along their dogs. Everyone seemed happy with their food and overall experience there.
Would definitely go back and recommend this to everyone to try if you are in the Monrovia area. However, while there is the option of substituting zucchini for meat, there isn’t much else on the menu that I would be able to eat as a vegan and even for vegetarians, which is why I give Sena on Myrtle four stars.

I recently moved to the down town area in Monrovia and I love this place. They have the best margaritas-​especially the watermelon jalapeño!
The tacos are delicious, short rib is the best hands down! Great atmosphere!
