The plush upstairs dining room and lounge can be reserved for private events, as can the more intimate coach house tucked away behind the restaurant.

This is my favorite Bar Siena location. It is ideally located in the mall, so there is a lot of parking. The entire restaurant is spacious and comfortable. The food and drinks are wonderful. Tracy, who is one of the managers, made our group of four feel very welcome.

Food is always delicious and prepared well. Wait staff is courteous and attentive but not overly so. They always ask about food allergies which is so nice since many dishes may have something in them that only the chef knows about. Ambiance is very pleasant. Nice place to celebrate special occasions or host clients.
