“Our experience at Siena Tavern was perfection from start to finish! We were celebrating my birthday and decided on the Chef’s Tasting Menu, with every course being absolutely delicious! Our server, Riley, made the perfect selections for the wine pairings with each dish and was truly wonderful at making our experience what it was! She is truly incredible at her role and added so much to the dinner! I would highly recommend her and Siena Tavern for anyone looking for a dining experience well above the rest!”

“Those four mini beef sliders were the best thing I ate all day, though let's be real, I am definitely the most interesting thing in this place tonight. If you think you can keep up with me, leave your name here and we might just grab a drink.”

“Every plate was beyond amazing. I went during resturants week so the portions were smaller from what they usually serve in order to try the full course. I tried a bit of the octopus and I must come back for it again! It was extremely tender and balanced with different flavors. The waygu meatball was juicy and melted in your mouth. 10 out of 10 for all the items I tried.”

“Great atmosphere, great food. Danny's service was excellent. Recommended the Squid Ink Linguine (with lobster tail), and I'm glad I listened”

“Magnificent meal. Took advantage of the restaurant week deal. Brad is a great server. Service was excellent”

“Been there last year, it was the first place I’ve been to and can’t say a bad word about it. Absolutely amazing place, location, staff. Pizzas were also really good. If I ever go back to Chicago again this is the place im going to again. Here’s some pictures, so you can see it for yourself!”
