For starters, Siena was a very pleasing visual experience from entry. What a gorgeous room, with a nice view of the river. Not to mention the occasional train passing by. The focaccia was perfect; oily, yet light and flavorful. We ordered a bottle of Chianti, which was very well selected. For an appetizer, we got the fried calamari, which was recommended to us by our server, Alex, who said that it was never frozen and cooked perfectly. He was correct. What made this calamari stand out was the perfectly coated zucchini, eggplant, and peppers that came along with the dish to balance the flavors out. The dipping sauces were good as well. For entrées, we did the Ricotta Cavatelli, which came with a perfectly crumbled and outside crisped, sweet Italian sausage and broccoli rabe. It was a solid dish, and the homemade pasta made the mark. That being said, the star of the night was the salmon. Wow! I mean, my mouth is watering just thinking about it right now, and I wasn’t even the one who ordered it. I had a few delicious bites, and it was undoubtedly one of the most spectacular salmon dishes Iv had in my life. It was served over a honeynut squash purée, with a unique and flavor balancing apple Dijon sort of slaw on top, and some very well cooked and tasty Brussels sprouts. The fish itself was cooked just amazingly. It had just perfect crisp to the exterior, with such a tender oily inside. We finished the night off with some brandy and port. Our server Alex was just on another level. His suggested food and wine pairing were splendid, he was knowledgeable and extremely accommodating. To put the cherry on top of the night, he brought us some biscottis and limoncello on the house. Siena is the kind of restaurant where you pay for the top-notch quality of every facet a restaurant can bring to the table.
Everything was great! The place is gorgeous, and the food was excellent. Our server, Alex, went above and beyond to make sure our experience was great. Would recommend!
