When I made our reservation, I asked for a table in a quiet area, so we could converse easily with our guests. However, we were placed next to a large group (10 people) celebrating a birthday. They were extremely loud and made it uncomfortable for our table to communicate without yelling at one another! The acoustics in the restaurant should be improved to moderate the noise level! On the other hand, the food was excellent (as always), the service was very good and the decor is very attractive. I only wish that the noise level could be reduced! That would make for a much more enjoyable experience!

The food and service at Siena were very good and we had an enjoyable time. My only negative commentary is that the salmon portion was a little small and the chairs are very uncomfortable! They are very deep so anyone under 5’5 can not sit back on them if you want your feet to reach the floor. And the lack of lower back support meant that my friend and I (our spouses are taller but also found them uncomfortable) had to request back pillows from the hotel. We are only in our 50s…

Went to Siena for a Monday lunch with friends. The food and service were wonderful and the room is bright and welcoming. However, the music was so loud that it was, at times, difficult to have a discussion. We asked for the music level to be lowered but it remained unreasonably loud.

Very pleasant time there. We have gone multiple times over this last year. The entire side of the restaurant in glass that open in the summer to the Norwalk River flowing 50 feet away. Now it is closed but still lovely setting. Wait staff was attentive, professional and knowledgeable and we were not rushed. It was a bit louder than a normal night but the food made up for any sound annoyance. House cocktails were imaginative and well prepared. Appitizers were good but didn't show the creativity of the entrees. The wild boar ragu entree was especially noteworthy as was the monk fish made in an "Rosso Bocco" slow cooked manner. Interesting, tasty and worth the trip. All in all, a strong recommendation for a lovely location for meeting friends or a date night.

The food was excellent and the view of the river is beautiful. The adjacent Hotel was full renovated this year but the. Restaurant wasn't and though the decor is nice, it is a bit worn, tired. I hope they will do some light renovations soon!

Back for the second time this week. That says something. The only knock is the noise level. No need for music; it just makes everyone try to talk over it. Otherwise, two thumbs up.
