    It was just ok, not great. Loud noisy like a cafeteria. The food was just ok and the service the same. Not great just ok. It’s unfortunate when restaurants are busy the quality of food & service degrade. I won’t be going back anytime soon and this was my first time there.

    Our server was great. She checked in with us and did not rush us. However, when food was delivered by support staff, they pretty much threw it at us at the table without a word. It was rude. Also, when it was time to pay, they gave us a scan code to pay which had an additional charge to use so we waited for our waitress to pay. Then they add tip on the total with tax?!? Plus the additional 3.95% surcharge on the bill. How much nickel and diming can a restaurant impose?

    Decor and service were good. The service really outstanding. Burger was good and fries light and crispy. Chicken sandwich was on the dry side. The resto has loud acoustics. The QR code pymt process is a fail. First off you never want to make people do QRs if they avoid it as part of their safety routine. Just too much work and takes too long to pay.

    Was so loud and crowded then on top of that the background music is horrible - like club music with heavy bass! I asked if they could please change the channel and was told that was part of their ambience! Will NEVER dine here again!

    Had dinner here on a Thursday evening with my friend so we could catch up. I had the lentil soup and Caesar salad which was good. My friend had soup and the lemon pasta dish which is one of her favorites which she enjoyed. Love the restaurant decor ambience but it did get loud as more people filed in. And the music was completing with the crowd. Other than that Bar Siena is consistently good and a great neighborhood spot.

    When i made the reservation i put that it was for a birthday. When seated the host asked whose bday and he was informed and said he would have a nice dessert for us the server apparently was not advised and after the meal he asked if there was anything else and i told asked what happened to the bday treat. He stated he hadn’t been advised and went off after 10 minutes the host was seating a party adjacent to our table and i asked him and he says oh yea. After another 15+ minutes a staff person brought a dessert to share. The server and host did not reappear nor apologize fir the misstep. Not the biggest of issues in the world but it surely put a negative view of our bday dining experience

    This was the first time I visited this location. Good vibe, great ambience, however, I felt very rushed. We placed our drink orders and didn’t want to eat right away, but the waiter took our order and our food and drinks were delivered at the same time. I just felt like a goal was to turn tables as fast as possible. Meatballs were amazing. The dressing on the chopped salad left something to be desired. The salad itself was good, but you need to change up the dressing.

    Yum. Halibut and meatballs were delish. We sat outside, which was lovely (it is a covered area) but there was a very bad smell from nearby when the wind was in the wrong direction.
