Our party was traveling about an hour for this birthday celebration. The entire Bar Sienna team was engaged to ensure this was the best experience. The atmosphere and ambience was the perfect mix of upscale yet casual. Food was delicious, not a bite left on the tables. Definitely would return.

I found this restaurant on the inKind app. We ate in the bar and the ambience & noise level was perfect. It was a busy night so the service was a little bit slow, however, the bartender did a fabulous job. The skirt steak was amazing, The calamari and octopus were amazing appetizers and the chicken sandwich & salads were very well received. I would go back to this place anytime because it was fabulous.

Birthday/Christmas Eve celebration. Place was cute and a bit confusing to find at first (it was night time and at a gold course). I’ll have to go during the day to enjoy the views. Place was decorated for the holidays and one of the few spots that I was able to get a last minute rsvp after another restaurant cancelled our rsvp because of a system error. Service and server were great, food choices were not as many as I would’ve desired but we managed to find our picks. Overall nice place. Like I said, I’ll have to check the place out during daylight hours.
