We had a quick pre-show dinner and got the gnocchi truffle mushroom pizza and Parmesan fries. All were great. Our sever Niemah (sp?) was lovely. The price for the fries did seem a bit high at $14 but they were good. $10 would seem a bit more fair. Overall it was fantastic and we would certainly come back again

We stopped here for lunch and we had a cocktail a pizza, a pasta, and an appetizer. The food was lovely. We really enjoyed the pizza. It was with prosciutto and truffle oil. The pasta was also very well cooked and had a great flavor. The meatball was perfect to share really well cooked. Enjoyed all of the food as well as the drinks. The service was also very nice and professional. My drink had lime juice in it, which I did not prefer and the waiter was kind enough without any question to remake the drink and not charge for the first one. The environment was also very nice, clean and fun to be in for a Saturday afternoon.

Second time I have been here where staff is ambivalent and rude. I’m sure it’s not all the staff, but it is pretty annoying.

Very busy the night we went 3-12. VERY loud, hostess exasperated and not handling stress well. Manager did a great job, noticed we were not taken care of to her expectation and bought us a a glass of wine while we had to wait extra in the bar. That was much appreciated! Really enjoyed the dinner for 2. No sommelier to discuss our wine choice , as the menu suggested. Our waiter was very informative and pleasant. If you can fix the noise level it would be 5 stars

Siena Tavern was an amazing experience! We were on time for our reservation but by the time we got there, the table was not ready yet. We waited for about 15 minutes before we were seated. It wasn’t a big issue at all, but one of the things that made our experience great was the manager coming by at the end of the night and discounting our meal as an apology for the wait. The waiter was great as well! The food was beyond amazing. We couldn’t recommend this place enough!!

Although the food was delicious, the service was mediocre, the server was in a rush for leaving our table to go to a different one to smile and take his time, for us it felt as he was rushing us out of the place, he didn't took his time to see if we were enjoying our food, he only brought dessert menu and left with out asking a thing, went asked for the checked he brought this as fast as possible, which was surprising based on how long it took him to come back to our table after first dish and basically ignoring us all night. So sad to have this kind of experiences a long an amazing food, especially when we were planning to use this place as a regular for 2 o 3 groups of 8-10, per week.
