I honestly thought this was just a bar that happens to serve ok food, hence the name Bar Siena but was pleasantly surprised by thoughtful, flavorful dishes that really surprised me. The octopus cichetti was absolutely fantastic and rivals some of thePeruvian places ' octopus dishes. I never expected such a well thought out dish here especially as a small dish. The lobsterpasta dish was delicate and wonderful while the burrata beet salad was light and refreshing. I can 't wait to come back here totry more dishes as we kept it fairly light on this visit. Only recommendation is to pass on buying a whole wine bottle, andstick to the cocktail drinks and other individual drinks.
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.
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!
Surprised by the calibre of the food, as I expected it to be more traditional low quality ?bar? fare. The food was excellent and very tasty the roasted heirloom carrots probably the best I?ve ever had. Service quick and efficient as well. Possibly alittle too pricey but where isn?t these days ??????? Overall a great lunch experience and highly recommended

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!!

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!
