Review Bar Siena - Chicago

Tyler
I loved our dinner at Bar Siena. This lasagna was incredible and it’s a really big portion. I tried my friends pasta and it was pretty good too. This is a great place to have a late night dinner and then go out afterwards. Good vibes, chill house music was playing during our dinner. Service was friendly.

Started off great but once it got busy, service kind of went down. They may need more staff. Food was decent: truffle fries 3/5, margarita pizza with Calabrian chili 4.5/5, rigatoni 4/5, drinks 5/5. We were hoping they could make the gnocchi vegetarian but they already put the sausage in the sauce so they were not able to accommodate. We were excited for dessert but I think I there was a confusion about which table ordered donuts so by the time we finally got our, they were cold and did not taste good.

Went there for a dinner on a Monday night - was easy to get a table without a reservation. Got the chicken as recommended by the server. It was excellent! Full of flavor (marinated for 8 hrs before cooking). Vegetables are very fresh too. Very tasty!

Great place for lunch! The restaurant itself is really nice and modern, creating a pleasant atmosphere. They offer a wide range of options, including a vegan menu. The music adds to the overall experience, and the second-floor view of the city is cool.

I stopped in here on a whim for a quiet Saturday brunch with my mom and partner. The food was pretty decent but nothing more than good for bar food but well portioned for the price/ ingredients. We sat on the 2nd floor and it was beautiful day so all of the windows were open and we got to enjoy the views of the city outside. The service and atmosphere were really challenging. They had a DJ playing at 12 Noon at club-level volumes which is a choice, but it made it a little difficult to enjoy the meal and felt pretty incongruous with the decor. It didn't help that the server (who had an expensive manicure with long nails, making it challenging for her to pour water) was practically whispering. I would consider stopping by again, but I'd rather sit on the patio or somewhere a little quieter where I could have a conversation.

The food here is always incredible! I've never ordered anything that wasn't delicious. Also the staff is always very accommodating and provides excellent service. A 10/10 all around.

Great place to gather for food and drinks! Our server Meigen was amazing and was very knowledgeable. She helped us find delicious items and made the experience very pleasant.

Chill vibe, nice music, I liked the appetizers, beef tartare was ok, but the other in the photo (pizza dough with honey inside and top with some greens) was good! The cocktail was strong but the one served in wine glass wasn’t has much alcohol.
David Costa
Really impressed with the gnocchi here and the truffle mushroom pizza! Their drinks are amazing especially old fashioned. Most of all the service was on point and the donuts for dessert were so fun!

Very nice place for a dine in gathering, great atmosphere, staff are lovely. Wide variety of food We got the Pizza & burgers & chicken as recommended by the server. The vegan menu is pretty good too. It can get really busy on the weekend which may affect the service which I understand. See you next time

Started with the Easter Brunch special Bananas Foster pull apart Monkey Bread. Good taste and caramelization but the bread was slightly dry and slightly overcooked. Doughy and more gooey/moist would be better. Siena Sharshuka was very tasty with nice balance of flavors but what we’re to be the two over easy eggs on top were cooked through hard. The crab Benedict was spot on and Short Rib Hash would be worth ordering again. The staff was super nice and attentive and we’ll return again

Such a cute restaurant in Fulton Market! Everything about it, from the food to the service to the atmosphere is fantastic! We went on a Sunday so it wasn't too busy and we got a nice booth to sit in. The service was great and the staff is super friendly! The pasta is absolutely amazing, and you can tell it's freshly made (the gnocchi at least). I would definitely go again!

Nice environment with good food & drinks. Its on Randolph so self parking on the street is tight as to be expected but they do offer valet for $18 (after 5/6p)

An absolute delight! I can't wait to come back for more truffle-mushroom pizza and gnocchi! Delicious! Just a great late-night Chicago vibe. One of our favorites.

I went to Bar Siena with a group of friends visiting from out of town. We were seating in the booths upstairs after checking in for our reservation. The restaurant was quite loud and full on both floors. Our server was prompt in coming to the table to take our drink order and to walk through the menu. They were quick in bringing drinks and then following up with our main orders. The food came out as it was ready and was a nice way to have a casual meal with friends. The dishes were tasty with the focaccia being our favorite. Overall the dinner was good and a great spot for a group.

Decided to try out this restaurant with a few friends while in the area. Food was great! Our server Jose B. was amazing to make us comfortable, happy and satisfied with our visit and orders. It was not too crowded. We just loved the atmosphere. I will definitely dine here again with a group of friends in the near future.

I liked Bar Siena. The atmosphere was festive and exciting. We celebrated a Loyola graduate.The fairy lights were lovely. Our attendant was so sweet, lovely hair as well. she even found us coffee when the machine was not working properly. More veggie options are needed. I had the risotto. The portion was soooo tiny. I was still hungry, but that was $28, but lacked that rich flavor I love. 3 of my party of 7 had the lasagna; it was super salty, no one finished the dish. The $12 tiramisu was so pretty in the little tin holder with handles on the either side, but it was also missing that vibrant taste that makes a dessert worth $12. I barely tasted the rich coffee-soaked savoiardi. Definitely flat. 4 of us ordered it and only 1 finished it. We loved the celebration sparkler! Thanks for that! The second floor with open windows was great. Lots of TVs. We had to valet park for $18 cash. 10% extra if you use a card. Still a very nice outing. Great staff.

Amazing food, service and staff! Short rib lasagna best thing on menu by a mile but everything was great! Mushroom and garlic pizza is killer! Highly recommend! Great prices, tons of value!
Mikaella Manalo
Pretty much the whole table ordered a pasta dish, and we shared it as well! Loved everything! They don’t skimp on the amount of protein on the dish, and every single dish was excellent! I loved the ravioli! Service was speedy as well. We dined around 3-ish, so the place wasn’t as packed, keep in mind. I would definitely return if I was ever back in that area!

Met up with coworkers for dinner and drinks -- wow, so impressed with the food and phenomenal service! We had the tomato basil pizza for an appetizer - yum. Short rib lasagna, duck mac 'n cheese, and gnocchi (substituted meatballs for sausage) for dinner - mind blown! Will definitely be back.
Francine Gutierrez Dilay
I absolutely love this place! If you work by the West Loop, be sure to go here after a long day! The food and atmosphere is amazing! If you love truffle... get the Taleggio Focaccia! We also had the best server - Meg was awesome and suggested the right things from the menu...a fun server!
Danna Andreas
Megan W was our server and she recommended the most amazing meal for my friend and I! The atmosphere was electric yet intimate. So beautiful. And the food was out of this world! Highly recommend!!
Kara Barry
sat at the bar with some girlfriends for lunch. Bria was our awesome bartender, she gave us incredible recommendations on the food. focaccia is a must! Delicious honey and cheese and arugula! Also the burrata wedge and sweet corn ravioli is AMAZING! Must try. Also, just a heads up, add steak to the wedge. (Thanks Bria for the tip!) loved this place! Such a fun atmosphere, can’t wait for the patio to open! Definitely one of my new happy hour spots for sure!

Amazing food and atmosphere. Better than average beer and wine menu, and the #25 cocktail was great! Just a little too loud for our family. But, highly recommend!

First off, Bar Siena has amazing food. But unlike most “must hit” amazing food places, they’re not like most. They have real, fun staff. I always have great times with Heather and Andrew at the bar. Manager Emily is pretty great, too. Have to add an addition. I come here fairly often and there are a lot of great people. I enjoy Heather and Andrew at the upstairs bar. But there are also great people at the downstairs bar. Stephen and Marko are two that come to mind, but most people here are not only good but real. Other manager Jamie is pretty great too.

One of the best meals we’ve had in Chicago! (And we’ve eaten there countless times) The chopped salad, lasagna, gnocchi and decadent desserts (fill your own doughnut with salted caramel, e.g.) were sublime. Our server was terrific! We will be back!!
Hillary Richmann
Amazing food & service! The meatballs were awesome!!! Careen is hands down the best server I've ever had. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Tammy Biermann Wood
I've read all these glowing reviews and feel kind left out, lol. My family talked me into going somewhere different for my Birthday dinner and I kind wish I had gone to my usual Birthday dinner place (Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder Company). So here it is...Loved the atmosphere!! Our server was nice but not like the other glowing reviews I've read. The best thing I had was the asparagus, excellent. A close second was the bone-in Ribeye. The meatballs were very good. My family really liked the potato skins & short rib lasagna. I didn't like the potato skins, but thought the lasagna was ok. We all thought the duck Mac n' cheese was not the greatest. Dessert was just donuts and a cup of dark Oreo gelato. The donuts felt like they were stale but tasted ok. I liked the custard one and my daughter liked the Raspberry one. Both my daughter & husband liked the ice cream. Maybe I would come back and try the brunch. I obviously did not have a glowing review. Like I said I kinda felt left out after reading all the other gushing reviews, so maybe I'll give it another try.

Its a really great place to go have authentic food and drinks. Marco is an awesome bartender and his service is superb! The food is creative and way above the norm. The drinks are creative and very good. The number 7 and 13 are my favorite. They use the best ingredients and not full of the normal juice and syrups. Highly recommended to say the least!
Aubrey Balcer
Never a disappointment here at Bar Siena! Great food, vibes and service! Tried out brunch for the first time here this weekend and it was just as good as the dinner menu! Meg had answers to all questions and her dish suggestions were a hit with the whole table! Looking forward to dining here again In the future!
Rose Gomez
The food was mediocre and it was noisy. Limited menu. Disappointing because I like the original restaurant. The service was good but not friendly.
Lexi Horvath
The candied bacon on the Bloody Mary is absolutely incredible. Keeps me coming back. The brunch is delicious as well.
Frances Kao
Unbelievably fantastic meal with our ultra helpful server Megan W. She suggested some ideal dishes, was friendly without being intrusive, and was a huge part of our great experience! Bar Siena rocks.
