    We love Bar Siena, the food and service never disappoints. Last night we attended a special event with Chef Fabio Viviani where he cooked and taught about beloved Italian recipes. What a fun night! Looking forward to attending another of his cooking demos.

    Loved my experience here! I had an incredible experience at Ema from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was seated right away, which set the tone for a smooth and enjoyable evening. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a lively yet comfortable vibe that made it the perfect spot for a meal. The food was absolutely phenomenal—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The Mediterranean-inspired menu offers a great variety of small plates, and each one was a hit. The hummus was silky smooth, the kebabs were perfectly cooked. Pairing everything with a glass of wine made for an even more memorable experience. Service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our server made excellent recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. Overall, Ema exceeded all expectations. Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner or a special night out, this place delivers. I can’t wait to return!

    My wife and I had a wonderful Valentine's Day dinner. Our server was very helpful and knowledgeable of the preparation of every item on the menu on which we had questions. Even with a packed dining room, he kept checking in with us to make sure that all was good and made sure that we had a lovely evening. The food, as usual, was excellent. I had prime rib and my wife had branzino. Both were excellent as well as the salad, bisque, mushrooms and au gratin potatoes.

    I've been to 501 before and have never been disappointed. The food was terrific. The waitstaff is great. We were seated at a table that was off to the side so it was quiet and my friends and I could catch up with ease. Highly recommend 501!
