I chose to propose to my girlfriend at our favorite restaurant. The dinner was wonderful and our waiter went above and beyond to make the experience the best we could’ve asked for. And she said, yes. 💍

The food was amazing, great staff, but the music didn't match the vibe, wished it was more Frank Sinatra type of music rather than pop.

Everything was pretty good and we enjoyed ourselves. I did note in the reservation that we were celebrating our 15 year anniversary. It would have been nice to have that recognized somehow. I also would have preferred if the entrees came out a bit later than appetizers. The apps were cleared and the entrees were brought simultaneously. It felt a bit rushed.

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.
