Excellent service - our waitress was perfect! The food was outstanding and so was my seasonal cocktail. They brought us free dessert because we were celebrating a reunion. It was the perfect end to our day in Chicago.

What a perfect place to go for date night after seeing the Nutcracker on a winter afternoon. The food was absolutely phenomenal. We stuck with a light dinner, so strayed away from the apps and dessert. We ordered the rigatoni vodka pasta with the prosciutto sausage (yum) and the gnocchi. Both of us loved our meals and I'm enjoying the leftovers now! The portion sizes were great and it was a good $$$ value with quality ingredients and obviously fresh pasta. If we were hungrier, we would have ordered a few apps - like their burrata, arancini, or the waygu beef meat balls. Their salad offering was also great - the Siena Chopped caught my eye. It was also awesome to see pizzas being fired up in the oven across from where we were seated. We ordered a white wine and standard dirty martini. The tini was not my favorite- i think next time I'd get their speciality dirty martini. They didn't skimp on the alcohol which I can appreciate, but the blue cheese stuffed olives were lacking and squeaky and it wasn't a smooth taste. Our server was great, he was timely, kind and was right with his recommendations! We went at 4:30 and the atmosphere was inviting. It was very quiet and peaceful. Thanks for a great dinner, Siena Tavern!

The reception was terrible. Slow to appear, slower to respond. Then put us on a table we said we didn't want, despite an fairly open restaurant, and said she could not change because that would be a different server. We had not even sat down yet. Bad start. Then when the server came, he was not helpful with questions, nor accommodating in any way. It was beyond him to be anything other than...not, not, not. We left. Don't bother.

Food was alright, the risotto I had was like a cement brick. Our service was bleak, we were waiting for our server more than she was around. And for Christmas Eve it would’ve been nice to hear Christmas music not club music but overall it was ok, I probably won’t be back unfortunately.
