"From the moment the hostess greeted us, the experience was very pleasant. Everyone was so kind. The menu is varied, and the waitress did a great job explaining the dishes to us. All our choices were spot on—we loved everything. The food was flavorful, portions were good, and the price was very fair. It was a great dinner! Everything was excellent."

"Our group reserved the celler(?) the cave(?) can't remember what they called it, but it was fantastic. The door could close and keep out the noise from the regular dining room (which looked inviting and comfortable and was busy on the Wednesday night we were there). Food and service were fantastic. Great space in regular roof for a romantic dinner or in the celler for corporate or special event."

"The atmosphere at Siena Tavern was very nice, offering a balance between upscale and casual. You can dress up for a special night out, but you’ll also feel comfortable in more relaxed attire. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly, which really enhanced the experience. Whether you’re looking to impress a date, host a business meal, or simply enjoy a solo dinner at the bar with a drink, this restaurant delivers. Despite being packed and us not having reservations, the staff was incredibly accommodating and quickly found us seating. The food, service, and overall vibe make Siena Tavern a fantastic choice for any occasion."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ We stopped by **Sierra Tavern** during happy hour and honestly had a great time—exactly the kind of experience that makes you say, *“Yep, we’ll be back.”* We started with the **Burnt Pepperoni**—tomato sauce, mozzarella, and red chiles. It leaned a bit on the greasy side, but in a very intentional, indulgent way. Bold, flavorful, and absolutely worth it, especially paired with a drink. The real standout, though, was the **Sea Bass Milanese** with lemon caper aioli—spectacular. Perfectly crisp on the outside, tender and flaky inside, and that aioli brought everything together with just the right balance of brightness and richness. It’s the kind of dish that quietly steals the show. We also tried the **Mini Tavern Burger** with truffle aioli, balsamic caramelized onions, arugula, and fontina—solid, satisfying, and well-balanced. Small but mighty, and packed with flavor. Drinks were on point too. The **Espresso Martini** (vanilla vodka, Kahlúa, espresso) was smooth, not overly sweet, and dangerously easy to drink—especially at **$9**. The **Strawberry Spritz** (vodka, strawberry, lemon, brut) was light, refreshing, and equally delicious. We sat at the bar, the service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, and the overall vibe was relaxed and enjoyable. A great happy hour spot and definitely a place we’ll be returning to."

"Amazing Italian restaurant! We greatly recommend the truffle gnocchi — I believe it is their house special as well! The truffle mushroom pizza and pesto pasta were also great — however the pesto pasta was a bit on the saltier side. Overall service was great — we were in a bit of a rush, but they were very accommodating! Unfortunately we weren’t able to get seats inside because we didn’t get a reservation so we sat outside near the street, but it was nice that there were heated lamps."
