Siena Cafe — Restaurant in Irving

Update 12/17/2022 Posted photos of new menu items, specials, etc! Great food at a great family owned business (I have no relationship or financial interest in Siena Cafe). This time of year, business slows a bit and I love doing what I can to support this business because they earn it. We come here every weekend (we always pay full price) and I post these because it is rare to find good people who work this hard AND have such great food! Chef Kenny is an excellent chef!!!

Update 10/31/2021 Non-menu specials at Siena Cafe. Strawberry cheesecake French toast (not too sweet) and Chicken Bennys (pictured with scrambled not poached, but so good either way!) The two custom sauces on the french toast are so good you wont need syrup! Tastes light and fresh! The chicken bennies have a biscuit half topped with eggs, the best fried chicken breast you'll ever eat, and cream gravy! Totally awesome food!

01/12/2020 @ 11:30am: Had the country fried steak today!!! It was the best I've ever had!!! It was fork-tender, well seasoned, and crispy with an awesome gravy! The starter salad was fresh and their balsamic was better than most! The perfect meal!!!!

08/03/19 - Now open at new location at Cypress Waters and Hackberry (near Beltline/635) and it is beautiful! Same great food plus some new menu items that are delicious, like the skillets or the caramel pecan waffle! Yum!!! Friendly staff in a beautiful location with a light and airy atmosphere!

Searching for restaurants via Yelp nearby my hotel, I was surprised that I had not had Siena Cafe bookmarked being that there are a lack of restaurants within a radius of the Dallas - Fort Worth airport area. I took an interest in ordering at Siena after seeing pictures of the 'country fried chicken' and at the time thinking to myself "mm, that looks so good!". The rest is history because after that I just had to have it!

There were some tasty looking breakfast items featured on their menu that nearly caused me to re-think ordering the country fried chicken, so I ordered it immediately! Two of those items were the 'biscuits and gravy', and the 'chicken and waffles'. Oh my God! The 'chicken and waffles' nearly had me weak after I came across a picture of it drenched in syrup! Yum! And on another note, I was recommended by fellow Yelper, Houston native Helene S that I try texmex which is featured and currently on my radar as food known to Texas, but today just was not the day to try it.

I got all giddy-like once Yelp notified me that my order via Grubhub was out for delivery. It took a total of 30 minutes from the time my order was confirmed by Siena to the arrival of it at my hotel which is very acceptable. And as expected, the food did not disappoint: the smell was wonderful and its taste was satisfying.

All in all, I had a pleasant ordering experience with Siena Cafe, and I most definitely would not hesitate on ordering from again in the future while staying in the Dallas - Fort Worth Texas...

Siena Cafe has an elegant dine in take on the casual and classic American breakfast and brunch. The atmosphere is very casual, at least, and at most borderline date night worthy, if it stayed open that long. The big windows surrounding the building give the inside a very beautiful natural lighting scene. It also has chairs outside for people who wish to dine out on a nice spring or summer day for a hearty breakfast or brunch. As for the food... it's immaculate. My complaints regarding the food are none. It's delicious, filling, very hearty, and nostalgic. Even their brunch menu is full of classic foods that taste as good as you imagine they would. Aside from the food and atmosphere, what really helps set this spot apart is the service. The servers are very kind, soft-spoken people who like to check in often to make sure everything's OK. What really fascinates me is how casual it feels like when they check in on your dining experience. It doesn't feel like forced interaction between server and customer. It feels like a kind person asking another 'how's the food?' just to make some nice small talk. I genuinely hope that this review helps pull in more people to try this place because it's absolutely worth every single penny. I can't wait to come here again because this is definitely on my top 5 best dining experiences I've ever had in my...
