sienna restaurant

we took our mother there on the saturday before mothers day. the advantage began with us having to sit in the bar or outside, where it was took cold and breezy for my 78 yo mother. then after we ordered it took over an hour to get our food. once we got the food, my plate was cold and so was the food on it, it was suppose to be hot food. my mothers salad was warm and wilted and the grilled chicken on the side was stone cold, dry as nevada and so very hard and tough. i sent my plate back and it still came back cold. i spoke to the manager and his excuse was that it was mother's day. i told him that this was not the nations first mother's day and that he would have staffed his house accordingly. it was not their first mother's day, so he knew it would be busy. i was so embarrassed that i had taken our mom there for mother's day. never again. i will be taking her to a different restaurant in a couple of weeks to make up for their foul food and service.

we got a gift card for here when we bought our house, so we decided to give sienna a try. the restaurant looks very nice. we both had the steak. it was flavorful and we both enjoyed it. there were many other menu items we would like to try.

someone on the client team recommended sienna, and i am glad they did. it is a fairly large restaurant, nicely furnished; high ceilings, elegant table settings, comfortable chairs. while all the chairs were the same cream color, with high backs, and each table had a set of the same style chairs, their was a bit of variety around the dining room. some tables had straight-backed chairs, others were wing-backed. lots of large mirrors, making the large dining room look even larger. it was much less than half full for dinner on a tuesday, so getting a table was not a problem.

given the elegant surroundings, i was a bit concerned that the menu prices would be very high. i was pleasantly surprised that the prices seemed reasonably mid-level. salads started at $8 and entrées ranged from $19 to $36. they label themselves as modern american. based on the variety of choices there are definite influences from hawaii all the way to italy, and several places in between.

i started my meal with the sienna side salad. a nice fresh pile of mixed greens with a miso vinaigrette, with toasted pecans providing a bit of crunch for texture. on top was a two-bite crostini, with goat cheese and a small wedge of avocado, to give it a california twist.

for my main dish i chose the huli huli grilled chicken. this dish came with one chicken breast that perfectly cooked and packed with bright soy and ginger flavors. the bok choy was sautéed in the same sauce. the rice side had just enough sweet pineapple to balance some of the soy in the chicken. then there was the little drizzle of mint sauce around the edge of the plate that added another dimension to the rice.

service was very good. all in all, a very nice meal that exceeded my expectations.

i have never experienced food poisoning until this place. first and last time eating at this establishment. think before you eat here if you value your lives.

i love, love this restaurant!! their fuji apple salad is my favorite!! the grated apples and finely chopped lettuce tossed with an amazing apple cider vinaigrette and black pepper pecans taste heavenly! the real treat to this salad is that it is served with 3 gorganzola cheese puffs which are to die for!! i just love everything about this salad!! ❤️

excellent brunch! their pizzas are great too.

horrible food and service new years eve. no one told us that there would be no other menu choice other than the $75 per person prefix menu. everything was bad. the appetizers were heavy and the tuna tartare was fishy. the salad was drenched in dressing. the lobster was raw and tasted like lighter fluid. the filet was more like a pice of prime rib and had an off flavor. the demi glaze sauce tasted like jar gravy. the brussels sprouts were so overlooked they were disgusting mush. the desserts were unsophisticated and heavy. the service was rushed but then had us waiting for the entree. it was a huge ripoff. would never go again.

after our meetings were over for the day, i used google maps to find sienna. it had good reviews and it was close. a group of six work friends got there about 1730. the place was virtually empty. siennas is really nice inside. the wood was really pretty. the menu was actually kind of limited, but had a variety of things that were kind of unusual, like pork t-bone. i ordered the wood-oven baked pepperoni pizza. it was excellent, and the perfect size for a single person. when i asked for parmesan cheese, it came grated, and was wonderful. the iced tea was good if a bit weaker than i lke. the server kept it full, and that’s a good thing. gayle got the skirt steak and mashed potatos. i mention this because she and clark didn’t finish it, so i did. it was excellent! the steak was very tender (almost easily fork tender) even though it was almost an inch thick. really good taste. the mashers were really good also, obviously real potatoes that had been boiled. the way mashers should be made. w

really like the sienna. my wife and i have been here many times now...often to see the niello concours raduno in the summer. we have always been pleased by the food...and the service has really been friendly and helpful.

decor is lovely...a good place to dress up for dinner! discovered that i loved their cucumber martinis! wow! will post more next time with specific menu items we had...but go there!

x-mas eve dining in edh. made open table reservations a half-hour prior and surprised that one was available at this popular edh restaurant. it was tgtbt as we waited a half-hour past our reservation time before we were seated. but to be fair, the mgmt. and staff made every apology, gave us a great table by the fire place and comped an appetizer to make up for our inconvenience.
we chose the rasperry chipotle prawns for the starting dish and it was easily the best thing we had. they were bacon-wrapped and came with a tangy bbq sauce on the side. we shared two of their more popular entrees: the mahi mahi tacos and the wood-fired pepperoni pizza. i liked the first dish a lot as the sauce was very tangy though the fish was a little over fried. the guacamole was a bit chunky or hard. i would have liked it creamier though the taste was good. the pizza was good not great and it would have been nice to have had some parmesan cheese and/or red pepper to spice it up a little.
the service was very friendly and well-paced. i would certainly recommend and return.

feels like a bay area restaurant. moving from the sf bay area placerville 4 years ago, i was not sure if we would find someplace like this, close to home. we booked it for our daughter's wedding party after sampling their menu and i must say that the service and menu is outstanding. we returned recently to have a birthday dinner and i just kept remarking that the food and service reminded me of a fine dining experience in sf, without the stuffy feeling. the thai mahi mahi is fabulous.

the food is excellent; recommend the grilled skirt steak. an outstanding feature is the quality of the service; helpful, and unobtrusive. very quick attention. the best service in this area. great atmosphere. the bar is an attraction by itself. this place is a must.

jrw. love the food, the service, and the atmosphere here, but the noise and acoustics (unless you dine on the patio) are terrible. almost like an echo chamber. we'll dine here in warmer weather on the patio. but in winer, forget it. management could probably fix the problem with carpeting, or sound-baffling improvements to the ceiling, etc. quite a few of our local serrano friends also won't dine inside here for the same reason.

we eat at this wonderful restaurant almost weekly. we find the service and food excellent. the atmoshere is casual but upscale. we typically opt for the outdoor dining because it is quieter.

great addition to edh!. replacing the former masque restaurant, the decor is beautiful. love the addition of having a table for guests to dine while watching the chef at work, very cool. this same restaurant group also owns crush29 in roseville. been to sienna twice, once for lunch and once for dessert/coffee. lunch was pasta and very good. dessert was the chocolate pyramid which i'd give only a 2.75 out of 5. it's was there only chocolate dessert to at the time, not sure if that's changed. any rate, overall 2 strong thumbs up.
