Sienna Restaurant El Dorado Hills

I can say I was intrigued with the picture of a primerib in the elevator. So, I ordered it and wow. The price made me a bit hesitant at $45. Well I have to say it was worth it. A great cut, tender, juicy, well crusted, a bit under my medium-rare I ordered, but was yummy. Potatoes were nice and cheesy. The asparagus, I felt was a bit skimpy at only 3 very thin pieces. I will definitely be back on a Fri-Sun night for a slab of Prib.

The BEST restaurant in El Dorado Hills! I promise you, Sienna does not disappoint. The staff were super friendly from the moment we walked in the door and the service continued to be stellar throughout our dinner. Their food is absolutely delicious and came out very quick. The ambiance both inside the restaurant and outside near the fire create a pleasurable dinning experience that will make you feel relaxed and comfortable. If you are ever in the area, I HIGHLY recommend coming here!

The place is beautiful but upon entering on this rainy day there were two women smoking by the front door so you get a whiff of the cigarette smoke before you enter. Our waitress was nice but as we got our food we noticed missing items on our food. We tried to get our waitresses attention but instead of our waitress the other waitress noticed we needed help so she told our waitress of our dilemma. Only after 15 minutes we finally got the missing items and even though there was 4 other tables with customers we were able yo eat. Food was tasty and delicious. I like the atmosphere of the place. Gorgeous for the holidays if you like something fancy. The staff are nice. I found it funny that our waitress thought I was paying for the meal nit realizing that my 21 year old son makes the money and he paid it. She kept giving me the check and receipts. Never look down on people just because they like yo dress down when they are out and about. We still like to eat good.

I booked a reservation a month in advance for my wife’s birthday (this is the restaurant she wanted to try.) The restaurant is beautiful. We arrived early and sat at the bar. The service was excellent. Despite the lights being too bright, the ambiance was nice. After a short wait, a hostess came to find us. We were sat on the patio as requested, right under the majestic oak tree….perfect. We were still enjoying cocktails but I also brought a nice bottle of wine for our dinner. In a short time our server arrived. He mentioned his name and asked if we were ready to order some food. That’s it…no other information, fact finding, no mention of water (is it coming, would we like sparkling or still, etc.) I started to have a bad feeling about our server and I wanted this night to be perfect so I went in to speak with someone. I spoke to Matt, one of the managers and told him my reservations. Our server seemed nice, but perhaps would be more at home at a BJ’s. Matt assured me that this was one of their better servers and he would personally see to it that I was well taken care of. So, I went back to my table and made the most of it. The service was average. I can tell that wine service is not taught at this restaurant. I can also tell that the steps of service are not taught here. One isn’t born a great fine dining server, one is taught. Sadly, this is not fine dining. This is high prices, good food, and average service. I worked in fine dining many years. One thing all fine dining restaurants have in common is a manager that is watching like a hawk and working the room. A great manager will visit each table to ask how they are doing. A great manager will notice the details and take action to correct them. Things like: entrees being auctioned off to two other tables before finally arriving at our table, and then auctioned off again since apparently they don’t use seat numbers to input orders. Things like not clearing empty cocktail glasses, or not clearing the entire previous course before dropping entree plates on the table. Things like not setting the table for the next course….I shouldn’t have to ask for a steak knife to go with my Filet Mignon. A great manager would notice the shrimp tails on the floor next to us for most of our dinner (they may still be there.) The table behind us was a party of 6 or 8 celebrating something special. I heard one woman get up and ask for appetizer plates to go with their appetizers! Matt did not visit a single table on the patio, nor did any other manager. I will say the food was well prepared. My steak was the temperature I asked for and the coconut shrimp were good. The menu isn’t very creative and It’s not the type of place to change the menu daily (in fact they don’t run daily specials it seems.) Oddly enough, they don’t offer lobster either. Come here for an appetizer and a drink at the bar. Do not come here for a special occasion. Oh and hey owners, what is with that big ugly camera you stuck to the oak tree! It looks terrible.

This place rocks. Right next to Serrano in El Dorado Hills, it's in a quiet shopping center also next to the Bel Air grocery. Food and wine were great. Who has an 11$ Caymus wine that tastes great? Great service and recommendations. Thai chili Halibut, and Macadamia baked brie. Large cocktail lounge, and the dining room both have fireplaces. Very nice.

There should be a line out the door, but there isn't. This is one of the better places to eat in El Dorado Hills. The service is great, and the food, for this first timer, is fabulous. I had the Scallop Risotto with Butternut squash. It's a very hearty dish, and the savoriness combined with the sweetness of the butternut squash is perfect. One note to the chef, the butternut squash, had a texture that was almost as if it had been previously frozen. Watch that, but I'm sure when it's in season again, that won't be an issue. This is a place that is a must visit.
