Bar Siena North Shore

Despite walking past this restaurant many,many times this evening was my first visit. We entered from the mall side so walked through the first bar, past the private function space and into the main restaurant/bar area. I thought the decor was beautiful - especially the lighting. We sat at the bar and ordered a couple of drinks from the very good happy hour menu. My espresso martini was delicious and great value. We ordered the meat balls,again from the happy hour menu , and the Brussel sprout salad from the main dinner menu. There were definitely plenty of options and I could’ve happily ordered many of the items . The meatballs were very good, even if the portion size was on the small side with just two small meatballs. The brussels sprout salad was outstanding. I definitely recommend this restaurant and I look forward to coming back. The only thing I would say was that the service was very transactional, not particularly friendly, even though it wasn’t very busy.

I’ve heard two things about this place - small portions - loud like the west loop location (which is unbearable) On a Tuesday night at least, neither were true. My partner’s eggplant parmigiana was gigantic, enough for three meals. My pappardelle was very sizable. The tone and noise level was pretty respectable. The staff was attentive and the vibe and atmosphere were positive. All in, I enjoyed my first dinner here.

I recently visited this amazing restaurant bar and had a fantastic experience. The place has an inviting ambiance that immediately made me feel welcome. The menu offerings are excellent, with a great variety of delicious options. It’s clear that they focus on quality and customer satisfaction. What really stood out to me was how loyal the customers seem—many were returning for repeat visits or celebrating special occasions, which speaks volumes about the popularity and consistent performance of this spot. It’s definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone looking for a great atmosphere combined with excellent food and drinks!

Nice place to eat. We ordered Gnocchi and they were delicious. The desserts (Vanilla bean cheesecake and bread pudding) were extremely exquisite. A real pleasure for the palate. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. I would definitely come back.

amazing dishes! must try the chicken diavola and lemon angel hair pasta! the grilled octopus was also very tasty.

Food, vibes , service… all exceptionally amazing . I love how quick everything came out, steak was amazingly cooked to my liking as well done no pink . The potatoes served with it was too good to not finish in one sitting. I’m not a fan of fries usually but this was amazing.

My friend recommended this food for my birthday, I wish I was able to enjoy my first experience but the service was questionable. The server completely ignored/didn’t acknowledge me and ONLY spoke to my s/o. I didn’t think much of it till the very end when we asked if they do anything special for birthdays and then he paid more attention. I became uncomfortable and we decided to leave without getting dessert. Acknowledging/responding to the other customer isn’t hard! I’m also in the service industry and I really can’t think of why I was treated differently than my s/o. Nice for checking in repetitively and giving us recommendations for new customers, I can give you that. We enjoyed the fries and pizza, delicious choices, definitely give it a try! Hope we can come back to try other items that were recommended.

Our server was great and their calamari is amazing. The lobster roll was ok, its served almost cold which I was warned about by the server so I cant complain but it does affect the taste a bit for me. Can't say id order it again but ill def be back.
