My wife and I have begun to cycle Siena Tuscan Steakhouse into our favorite date-night choices. The menu has a good mix of dishes that most people will be familiar with and some options that are more unique, at least for the Wichita area. The steaks taste like high-quality meats and have always had a perfect temperature and sear, and their pastas and sauces taste like they're made fresh daily in house. I am not a fan of the grilled Caesar salad, as I didn't realize (because the menu didn't specify), that they basically just serve you uncut romaine that's been wilted on a grill, and it was pretty unpleasant. That said, most of the things on their menu have been very good, cooked properly, and taste like they use fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is nice and classy, but not so stuffy that a normal person feels out of place. There is a nice indoor balcony area that overlooks the main dining room, but if they're busy I would suggest waiting for a table in the lower dining area, as the balcony is pretty loud when the restaurant is full. Service has always been very good, with friendly staff who accommodate special requests and act professionally, but they've never blown me out of the water. That said, all I really want from a server at a restaurant is for them to do their job without acting like they're miserable to be there, so I have zero complaints with the staff. My only real "complaint" with Siena Tuscan are the prices...while the food is very good, you pay for it, and there are quite a few items on the menu that I feel are about $3-5 overpriced. The portions are not huge, which is common at higher-quality restaurants, and sides are not included with many of the dinner menu items, so you'll pay extra for them. If you are accustomed to "Texas Roadhouse" portions and prices, you may feel a certain way about the value for money, but in our experience the quality of food justifies the cost. That said, it's not unreasonably expensive, and in more than 6 visits the worst experience I've had is not liking the grilled Ceasar salad, but I think they've since taken it off the menu anyway. read more

First off, 2 stars purely for service. I'm not sure who our actual server was lol a lot of hands on our table but I barely noticed due to being disappointed with the food. Ambiance is okay, I guess.. dated a bit and weird with the place mats... makes it seem cheaper than the bill was. We went at 5pm on a Monday - it was pretty empty which was perfect. Didn't start to fill up until we left around 7ish. You do have to pay for parking but there's a garage on the block and I think my ticket was like 3 bucks. First we ordered the baba ghanoush... as you can see in the picture it is not very appetizing looking but the issue was it was SO bland! I'm an eggplant fiend and it tasted like water almost. We sent it back and got the charcuterie board... meh. It was fine, I guess. Don't recommend. The sauce in the middle is sweet? Just not my taste. I wanted to order the salmon by three (annoying it's impossible to find a picture of the dish online, if it's anything like everything else we got it probably wasn't good)... they weren't able to get fresh sushi grade salmon or the roe so they had an impromptu dish offering- salmon with fettuccine in a caper sauce topped with fried ham... it was SO salty! The salmon was dry. It was a good sounding dish just poor execution. Desert we got the raspberry emerald tart, against our better judgement as we hadn't had anything tasty yet, and it was so cold and not fresh that it tasted like nothing. The pistachio cream had fully soaked into the crust. It was just a miss, it was careless. That pretty much describes the whole meal (except the servers!) - the chef did not seem to care at all. Very disappointed, will not be back. read more

Great food, nice ambiance for business or romantic dinners. Service was great and attentive without being over bearing. Had the filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly and I personally found it better than KVH. The desserts this time were great, not too sweet, just right. The shrimp appetizer sauce tasted like your standard Thai sweet and spicy. It was okay, but not on par with the other food. read more

Organized a group dinner here. They were great about me changing the number up 3 then down 2. Service was great and our waitress was helpful in suggesting and organizing appetizers for the table. Sadly my steak was rare when I ordered it medium rare. I hardly ate it. In a group setting, I didn't want to return it. I ate around the edges and my broccolini side dish. I had been looking forward to it :( Atmosphere is nice. Very convenient if you are staying at the hotel. Cocktails were creative and delicious. read more

I was kinda skeptical about trying this place after seeing its rating, but I figured I'm staying in the hotel so I might as well - the negative reviews centered around service and it's a Tuesday evening. The restaurant wasn't empty, but I was offered a table with no wait. I was alone so I sat at the bar. No delay in being greeted, given water, and a menu. My food and drink orders were taken as soon as I was ready. I ordered a 14oz ribeye medium rare and it came out pretty good. It did have a small bit of char at one end, but likely just from fat melting and grabbing a flame. Definitely not worth counting against a star. Potatoes and asparagus were good. To be honest it was probably one of the best hotel meals I've had in quite a while. read more

The service was very good the ambiance is warm and inviting but our food was to say the least subpar We ordered the Strip it was cooked to temp but no flavor no tenderness it looked like a breakfast steak We will not be back read more

We ate here last night, celebrating our recent marriage. Jenny and Scott treated us as if we were the VIPs of the night. We had the filet mignon and the ribeye and both were cooked to perfection. What a hidden gem within a city we have lived in for so many years. Highly recommend. While observing the rest of the staff, everyone was so learned on the menu. The staff here could give a master class to other restaurants in Wichita as to how to treat and respect. read more

Sienna Tuscan has been a long time favorite for us however, the last several times we have been, it has been awful. The food, the service and overall experience. Super disappointing especially for such a spectacular location in Wichita. Definitely won't be back. read more

Another place off the menu. Steaks undercooked. Service dismal. Game over, off the list. Get it together Wichita.

Our server was delightful. She brought over a beautiful, floral table arrangement she put together, after learning it was a special celebration for us. Extra special touch. Our steaks were perfectly done and very tasty. Our dessert was delicious. Service and ambience were top notch. Overall, wonderful experience. Highly recommend! read more

Went to Sienna last night to celebrate a birthday..We have been there several times before and enjoyed the experience and food...Last night was different...The steak was good but not the quality it once was..The side dishes were not good..cold potatoes...hard asparagus...lots of brown in the salad..the lettuce was not good and should have been thrown away..not served..Also a big party of 24 arrived after we did.Tables were pulled together leaving one patron eating alone in an awkward position..all he needed was a spotlight on him and it could have been a sketch on Saturday Night Live..Did the two gentlemen not think how that gentleman would feel ...No empathy... I was truly disappointed...The bill was 175...which we expected..but we did not expect poor quality food..The server was great.but she became entangled in setting up for the 24..Not a great bday dinner experience..Rick D.. read more

Had breakfast here the food was great. The service was exceptional. I could barley get my water half way down before my server would come to fill it up. Also the food only took around 5 minutes. When I was there the restaurant was pretty empty but It still had a cool ambiance. If I where to go at night I am sure the ambiance would be even better. read more

Food was out of this world. I'd eat there every day if I could Very calm & romantic atmosphere Perfect service read more

Amazing food! The service was very attentive without being overbearing. A very romantic place that was perfect for Valentine's Day.

We were staying at the Ambassador hotel and decided to try their restaurant. I had requested a table by the window on open table when making the reservation and asked for a window table when we arrived. The hostess said "of course" when we asked. Then her colleague took us to a non-window table. When we asked for the table on the window in the corner, she said it was now reserved - and frankly was a bit snooty about it. BTW, there was no "reserved" sign on the table we requested (after being told we were getting a window table), and no one was seated there until we were paying our bill and getting up to leave. I believe she was lying to us as there was no ability to reserve a certain table when making a reservation. If she was telling the truth, the restaurant management policy should be to put a reserved sign on the table. She probably knows customers just love a 20 something year old snooty hostess making a first bad impression before they are seated. Honestly, we almost left, but it was 101 degrees outside and decided to just stay as we had a great experience in the bar with our pre-dinner cocktails. Once seated, we had excellent service by Sophia and fantastic food on our visit. Prices were not bad for a fine dining steakhouse. I highly recommend everything we had: Homemade focaccia bread, Carbonara pasta, wedge salad, and the Seafood Special of the night (sockeye salmon). My salmon was delicious and perfectly cooked. The presentation was a work of art. We really had to pass on dessert, but there also weren't great options in our opinion to tempt us. Giving Siena a 5 rating despite the hostess who sat us. Hopefully the manager will coach her as young kids need to learn how to treat customers if they want repeaters. read more

Wanted to love it...really did. But the waiter was about as warm and welcoming as a Brillo pad. Steak was not tender. Halibut was flaky and moist, but small. Sides were meh and desserts were not worth trying. Very little variety. Our second visit. Won't attempt a third. On a bright note...our hotel stay was fantastic. read more

Food excellent- tomato& mozzarella salad amazing! Nice wine list. Good variety in entrees. Attentive waiting staff...

This place does not deserve the rating that it currently has on Yelp of 3.7. It is a 5 through and through. I travel all around the world, and everything I had tonight was cooked with heart and had great flavor. read more

Food, service, and atmosphere were fabulous! Our table ordered the steak carpaccio, filet, halibut, and tagliatelle con salicia e cavola nero. Every dish was mouth watering.

When in Kansas...try the Siena Tucson Steakhouse. It's yummy but pricey A friend recommended the pork chop so I went for it and didn't regret my decision! It was flavored well and cooked to my satisfaction. I went at 5 pm (opening time) si I didn't need a reservation and had the whole place to myself! I was told that things liven up between 6 and 7. Service was top notch as well! When in Kansas, I'd return. read more

Me and my boyfriend went for a date night. We started with the arancini and it was so delicious. We then got the carbonara and hangar steak, fully recommend both!! Service was quick and or server was attentive. Great spot for a nice meal here in Wichita! read more

My buddy and I were in Wichita for the night on our way home from New York. As one does in Kansas, we immediately tracked down a steakhouse and rolled out (stopping by a couple local breweries on the way, of course). Upon arrival, we were greeted by the host, Bri, who was nothing short of spectacular. She was attentive and hilarious, putting up with a couple of guys who'd enjoyed 3-4 heavy IPAs and were feeling no pain. Simply put, Bri is awesome and an asset to Siena! The service and food were excellent... Decent prices for what you get, though certainly not on the cheap end of the spectrum. Well worth it for the ambience and level of attentiveness demonstrated by everyone. Just to reiterate, Bri is AWESOME, the steaks were excellent, and the experience all-around great. Five stars without question! read more

It's a beautiful place and they were nearly empty at 7pm. Our server asked us if we wanted something from the wine list and when we said no and asked for a few minutes to decide on dinner, she didn't come back. After waiting 10 minutes and watching other patrons being served by a different server, we left. read more

Prime Four Sixes Strip steak was prepared perfectly medium rare. The guest of honor, my wife, had the Four Sixes Ribeye and she enjoyed it. My daughter had the swordfish that she loved. Risotto side was excellent. My son's pasta looked amazing. Very relaxed atmosphere for our Mother's Day celebration. Our server, Alex, was attentive and took a picture of our family for us. We will return. Thanks for a great night. read more

Surface level, everything was nice - clean, visually appealing atmosphere. Service was SO slow. We waited nearly an hour for our food to come out. Crazy. My steak was cooked the opposite of how I asked, albeit, it was still good. Just rare instead of well done. The hostess looked miserable and was unfriendly. Our waitress hardly came to our table. There was one super great server - she was always friendly and smiling. Overall, not worth the trip downtown and I'll go to Chester's from here on out for a good steak. read more

A beautiful restaurant located on the first floor of the Ambassador Hotel. The steaks were great and I enjoyed the asparagus which I rarely do. I brought my wife here to celebrate her birthday. The service was great and they gave my wife a free desert for her birthday. read more

This was our first visit to the Siena Tuscan Steakhouse. It did not disappoint!! The food was wonderful and the service was awesome! Shout out to Ashton for being the most amazing server! We will be back!! read more

When you walk in the restaurant, it's a dark, romantic atmosphere that really draws you in. Delicate rose centerpieces in a glass as a centerpiece on the tables. Along one wall is a wine cellar type display of their wine selection and the other wall are windows that look out onto Douglass and Broadway. I ordered the Hangar Steak cooked to medium well. It was cooked perfectly and very tender. A lot of flavor. The mascarpone garlic whipped mash potatoes were excellent. I had one mixed drink. It was the Jamaican Old Fashioned. I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys whiskey. Our server was really sweet and attentive. We will go back. This place would be great for any special occasion. read more

I'm in Wichita for work and decided to check out this steakhouse. I came on a Monday evening so it was easy to get a reservation. The vibe was great and the food was amazing! I got the surf and turf special and the steak melted in my mouth! The best part of my experience was my server Dan. I was dining alone and celebrating a major accomplishment and he made sure to treat me extra special with a dessert on the house. I'll definitely be returning read more

My husband and I stayed at the ambassador and made a reservation at the steakhouse with friends and then tried Dockum's after. Our steaks were great but our friends were not cooked to order. His went back twice and her's 3 times (then was charred), unacceptable! We were told that they ran out of steak knives so we had to use butter knives. That is crazy to me when you're a steak house and you're paying over $50 for a steak. They also said that they only have 2 dessert menus in the entire place so we never got a menu so couldn't order dessert. The service was horrible and SLOW!! We had reservations at 7:00 and then had to be at dockum's at 9:00. We had to leave our husbands to wait on the check. It took the manager about 20 mins to visit our table. It took 20-30 minutes to get a drink! Two tables next to us never had a server acknowledge them so they both left. The same with Dockum's downstairs. This was valentine's weekend so we dressed up and were excited to try this steakhouse. I was very disappointed and don't know if any of the 6 of us will be back! read more

I am going to be middle of the road at this place. I went at lunch and was told the dinner is better. I will try again because the ambience was lovely. read more

Interesting menu. Great selection and lots of variety. Of note the two times I have been there some items were not available. I have tried the Farmer's pasta which was great! Another time tried the 8oz Creekstone Farms Fillet pictured below when it arrived at the table. Cooked as requested and steak was excellent. There are only 4 pieces of asparagus so get sides if you want more food. It took 60 minutes to come out after my appetizer so they gave me a dessert to go. I am not sure this is typical but do not come here if you're in a rush. It is a wonderful restaurant and atmosphere is very pleasant. The wait staff are fabulous. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and very accommodating when people around me made requests. read more

Nice place and atmosphere in the historic Ambassador Hotel, great service, but wasn't overly impressed with the food. I was torn between ordering pasta or a steak, and was pleased to find out I could add on any meat to my farmers market pasta dish. The veggies (tomato, shishito peppers, leeks) seemed a little sparse for the serving, and the pasta was clumped together in a few bites. The steak had good flavor, but was a bit chewy. For dessert, the cheesecake topped with a layer of jellied fruit compote was good, but not great. There's a cool speakeasy-style cocktail lounge in the basement worth checking out. read more
