    Always a fantastic experience, truly, lately has even been my favorite restaurant in Austin, and I’m very much a native. Customer service and ambiance are always fly far above reproach. This outing, their GM Matt even texted personally to see if we’d like to move in to a better reservation… bravo! For recommendations, the spicy margs, machete (fancy quesadilla) , crab tostada, Caesar salad, salmon, and carne asada are some of our very favorites. Try a mezcal and recommendation too, impressive list. My Spanish CEO, a bit of a wine aficionado, was a bit skeptical, but every bottle has exceeded his high bar. Oh and they have a fantastic happy hour and Friday lunch. Enjoy!

    We returned to Siena for our annual Anniversary Fine Dining Event. As usual, our experience was outstanding, from Rina's friendly greeting at the hostess stand all the way through the evening. The food, service and ambiance were top notch, as always. We highly recommend our go-to happy place for that special fine dining experience!
