    The short rib and mushroom risotto was delicious, we paired it with the gnocchi which was a fantastic choice. It was loud, but there seemed to be a party happening in the area adjacent to us.

    Could have just been unfortunate timing, but the restaurant was crazy busy when I arrived on a Wednesday. About 30+ minutes after my reservation I was still waiting for my table, so I ended up sitting at the bar instead when a seat opened up. So an awful start, but only up from there luckily. Once sat, the waiter was very quick and very friendly, and most importantly, the food was delicious. Would definitely go back and recommend it, but not sure I would use this as a date night restaurant due to the high noise level and the slow seating.

    We arrived for our reservation time and were told our table was not available. We went to the bar and ordered two tasty cocktails. After we finished our drinks we checked in with the host to inquire about our table. Our table was still not available. We waited almost 40 minutes (it was my husband's birthday and I would have normally left but didn't want to chance not getting dinner). When we sat down, the waiter offered us free cocktails (would have been nice for the hostess to offer that to us before we dropped $54 on drinks and tip), which we skipped. We ordered the tasting menu which was 5 courses - an abundant amount of food. Food was good and wine pairings were good too. The atmosphere was not that appealing in that the music was really loud. Overall, not an awesome experience which was disappointing given the special occasion and Siena Tavern's reputation.

    We did the chefs table. Five courses. Polenta, wagyu meatball, vodka pasta, chicken and potatoes and a rocher dessert. Our waiter Jesus explained each course and the inspiration behind it. So much fun

    Decent food, but the noise and music ruined everything. Loud booming music played throughout are entire meal. It was impossible to visit with our companions.

We understand how this can affect your visit and we're sorry if your companions could not enjoy their time with us as well. Our weekends are much more lively than our weekdays. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in a more peaceful environment. Best regards, Siena Tavern Management Team

    One of the best dinner experiences we’ve ever had! From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding—from the warm welcome by the hostess to our attentive waitress, Nicole, and the knowledgeable sommelier. Every dish was memorable: the wagyu beef meatball appetizer, the signature spaghetti, and Chef Viviani’s famous brick chicken were all exceptional. And the meal wouldn’t have been complete without the indulgent gelato and cheesecake. To top it off, the staff surprised us with two complimentary homemade donuts with a jam glaze to celebrate our anniversary and birthday!
