We had some trouble getting everyone into town for this reservation, but Siena was very accommodating. They were a pleasure to work with and happily set our table for eight even though we weren’t sure two were going to arrive. We had a wonderful, leisurely lunch before a show and saw many people from Siena at the show, so great minds… Our lunches were superb. I had the spicy squash soup and roasted Brussels sprouts. Delicious. One of the ladies had the soup with the Cobb salad. She said all was excellent and the salad went on forever. Two of the girls split the Cacio e Pepe and the brick chicken. They couldn’t pick which was better and would have picked at the two for another hour past full. The last two ladies split the meatball, which was huge and came with thin toast points that were perfect for scooping up any leftover sauce. We had a lovely lunch, as is usual at Siena Tavern. We enjoy stopping by every time we are in Chicago.

Did the tasting menu and wine pairing for a birthday, and had an absolutely lovely time. The wine pairings in particular were incredible, both for uniqueness of the wine itself and personality with each course. We also loved our server who offered sincere (excellent) opinions and a refreshing genuineness. The music was maybe a bit clubby, but it was a perfect volume and the rest of the ambience was well crafted.

We hope to see you again soon! Lastly, we will definitely share your comments with your server, Danyelle. Sincerely, Brian Mitchell Assistant General Manager
