    It was extremely hot in the restaurant. Everyone in our party was dripping from sweat and we were sitting towards the back of restaurant. Great food and service but very uncomfortable for dining

    We usually enjoy Siena very much but we had never gone on a weekend lunchtime. It was crowded and wildly loud. The service was awful. No water or bread unless we asked. The breakfast burgers (our party ordered 2) were SO SALTY they were inedible. The meatball panini had barely any meat but lots of bread. We waited for our check very long and had to finally flag another server to help us. Not a good experience at all.

    We’re seated right away and the ambiance was great. Food wasn’t good but the pasta was overcooked.

    The food was great and the drinks were strong. Amazing decor and they were able to accommodate my 8 person party. Despite the attributes, it took 30 min for someone to come service our table and tables that came after us were served before us. No one came to check on us, and if we needed something, we had to flag down a waiter to get their attention, often having to wave multiple times or jump out in front of them to get their attention. Would potentially go back but not with a big group.
