I have been wanting to go here for a long time. Had Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was amazing! From my cranberry cinnamon gimlet to the amazing truffle at the end. It was served family style and it did not disappoint. The turkey was juicy and the pork cooked just perfectly. The sweet potato gratin was my favorite. I have left overs to enjoy today. The service was friendly and warm. Everyone around us was enjoying themselves and the ambiance delightful. A stellar performance!

This is my favorite Bar Siena location. It is ideally located in the mall, so there is a lot of parking. The entire restaurant is spacious and comfortable. The food and drinks are wonderful. Tracy, who is one of the managers, made our group of four feel very welcome.
