    Had an amazing experience. Food was top tier and service was exceptional. From the moment we sat down to the moment we got up wait staff was attentive and friendly and each dish from appetizers to dessert were made with care and attention to detail to where they were both visually appealing and tasted great. 10/10 would recommend

    I consider Siena a true hidden gem. Some of the finest food we’ve ever enjoyed was served there…for the second straight visit. The menu offers variety to suit a wide range of tastes. Service is very professional and warmly friendly. Just right. Our waiter remembered us and our drinks preferences. (We’re, a small quiet family, and our only other visit was over two months ago.) Highly recommended!
