We had a great table by the window. The waitperson was gracious. Our group met to discuss an important matter so we were a bit slow ordering. Our food was fantastic. I especially enjoyed my Paella And another diner loved the Brussels Sprout Salad with truffle vinaigrette, and the Beet Salad. My other companion thought the grilled octopus was special. The Albarino we ordered was delicious too. The only downside I can think to mention is the musical journey beginning in the 80s! And we were still able to have our serious conversation. I will be returning.

Made a quick stop Saturday night with my friend for drinks and a tapa, and it ended up being such a…read moregood vibe. We grabbed seats at the bar, which was perfect since the service was quick. The atmosphere felt very grown and polished without being overly formal...the kind of place that's lively and stylish but still comfortable enough to relax and hang out. I was surprised by the Spanish stuffed peppers; It was better than I expected, filled with rich, slow-braised oxtail short rib ragu that was incredibly tender, savory, and full of deep flavor. The slight smoky sweetness from the peppers balanced the hearty meat perfectly. Such a unique memorable tapa. Perfect spot for drinks, sharing plates, and a fun night out.

On 2/14-02/15, we came there for drinks and to have fun. What we thought would be a fun night…read moreturned sour at the end, very quickly. We were at the bar during closing time when a man approached one of our friends and told him he was going to slap him in the face (odd behavior from a grown man), and like any other person, our friend replied with "I dare you to, it will not be a good choice for you". They continued at this for a solid 3 minutes before security got involved and became aggressive towards our group more than the man who started it. When the bartender Samar saw what was going on (she witnessed the event), she tried to tell security and the owner that it was not us, but instead the other man. We were all kicked out, and one would think it would end there, but it did not. We were met with racist remarks and aggression from the security guard and the owner, who condoned it. When we were being kicked out the secuirty guard was shoving my husband, and once I saw that I clealry lost it and I was met with a sentence I never thought I'd ever hear "this is America, learn english", which is funny considering 1) I speak perfect english, 2) I have 0 accent, and 3) my spanish is actually horrendous. The owner was there when all of this was happening and did not get involved or tell his employee that it was not ok; instead, he watched and let it be. In this day and age, I find this be inappropriate and insane. We spent over $300 within 2 hours and will no longer be coming here, considering we were met with racism. We as consumers need to know where our money is going, and this establishment made it very clear where they stand. I only say this because, on our way to our car, we were approached by others who had experienced the same situation earlier that night. As a bar that relies on its consumers and is supported by minorities, this establishment should be ashamed.

Great place!! Will be back. I don't understand why this mostly Spanish restaurant wasn't packed…read more Pretty place with a decent sized parking lot. Large bar area, a larger dining room great for private events (which they do a lot of) per our attentive waiter and a smaller dining area near the front window. My friend and I had 3 of their specialty cocktails while there which we enjoyed very much. We had the octopus with fingerling potatoes which was delicious; the octopus was very tender. We also had the mussels in a white wine broth, it was great. It was a good sized portion for two, but we almost ordered another as it was so delicious. It came with bread to soak up the yummy sauce. My friend had a decaf cappucino and the goat cheese flan since she didn't want anything too sweet. It was also great, the tangy cheese wasn't noticeable in it and kept the flan from being too sweet (personal preference). They had other flans and Dulce de Leche as well.

The place shares a common areas with a few other restaurants with a nice little fountain in the center. I have much preferred the outdoor seating as it has a nice view. On my last visit I ordered the "Small Plates Brussels Sprouts "Grilled Corn Off the Cob" as an appetizer, which was very fresh! For the main dish I tried the "Veal Ricotta Gnocchi " which was very filling and extremely well done. You may want to come in a larger group to really enjoy the vibe. I just wish the brought back the Dancing they used to have at the older location.

They had such fun cocktails--we all ordered different ones to try, and none of them disappointed. The food was 10/10 and the service was impeccable. We shared the fried mushrooms, spicy rigatoni, and tuna tartare as appetizers- all beyond good. For entrées, we ordered the short rib, pork chop, duck, scallops, and tagliatelle pasta and every dish impressed us. Kyle was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and gave amazing recommendations.

A bit confusing where to park since it was dark and we had no idea where we were. But then saw valet sign so that was nice. I went in and greeted kindly by hostess & luckily didn't need a reservation for the 3 of us. Sat right away and offered water (bottled, sparkling or tap!). Also offered bread. My mother-in-law & I split the Cesar salad (they actually split for us!) love that it had real anchovies and crispy lettuce. We also split the Shrimp & Polenta. Nice large shrimp & creamy polenta. Our friend had lobster & pasta dish which was delish. I had the Gimlet, which was super tasty & she had a lemon drop martini and our friend had a nice margarita. Service was great, we enjoyed everything!

The walls are filled with amazing art to admire while you dine. The restaurant is very clean and it's one of the first things I notice when I sat down. Lots of appetizers/tapas to choose from separated into hot tapas and cold tapas. The Mejillones (mussels) were finger licking good!! We also got the oxtail empanadas. They did not meet my expectation but still good. Lots of paella options to choose from: meat, seafood, classic...etc. We ordered the classic paella and it was delicious!! Full of flavor. One waitress running the show, who I assume to be the owner and she was a pleasure to talk to and quick. There is a lot next door you can park at but it's small. However, the street it's located on has plenty of street parking.

This restaurant immediately came to my mind and we were off! Happy to report it is still what I remembered it to be- wonderful food, great drinks, relaxing atmosphere, and friendly service. I did not take photos of everything we got for the table. One of my favorite appetizers here is the codfish croquettes and they were melt in your mouth good- highly recommend these! We came for paella and went with the classic version..... it definitely hit the spot. The rice was perfectly cooked and crunchy in the right spots. Seafood was cooked beautifully and the spices with the chorizo made it all a balanced and delicious dish. So happy we were able to come back to Paella and we will be back (hopefully) more regularly!

"A birthday dinner that actually felt like one."…read more Sienna Ristorante gets the balance right in a way most places don't. The space immediately stands out with a clean, modern feel that still feels warm, not staged or overly polished. It sets the tone before the food even hits the table. The meal itself followed through. The complimentary bread with oil was simple but done right, soft with a good crust and a clean, flavorful dip. We shared the wild mushroom arancini, and that was the first real standout. Crispy on the outside, rich on the inside, and the sauce was the kind you keep going back to without thinking. It carried the dish. For mains, I went with the wild mushroom pizza, which came out with a well balanced crust and just enough weight from the toppings without feeling heavy. The mushrooms were the focus and they delivered. The honeynut squash ravioli leaned more delicate, slightly sweet, and felt more composed than expected in a good way. Drinks held their own too. The Old Fashioned was clean and steady, while the lychee martini added something lighter and more refreshing to the table. They close the meal with biscotti and limoncello, which already would have been enough, but we added the tiramisu and that was the right call. It rounded everything out without feeling excessive, just a clean finish to a well paced dinner. Service matched the tone of the restaurant, attentive without hovering, and the pacing of the meal felt natural from start to finish. This is the kind of place that feels intentional. Not just good food, but a full experience that actually holds together. Easy to come back to, especially for something worth celebrating.
