As for his plans for La Casa Sena, he means to unify the wine and food into one unique experience. “The food has to be equal to the wine list. It has to be the same quality, with elements of fine dining.” He intends to change the menu frequently, with an eye towards balancing local ingredients and more global influences. Looking to infuse the menu with different elements to partner with the restaurant’s diverse wine list, “the food will be unbounded by one culture.” And in both sourcing ingredients and creating beautiful food, Jose Rodriguez has a deep appreciation for cultivating a local clientele. “I just want to bring the locals to the table, and give them what they want. I want them to enjoy themselves, and have a great experience.”
