The address is not the front of the restaurant on Lincoln. You need to park in the back, that is where the restaurant is located!This place is INSANELY good. Highly recommend the sole almondine. I’ve never been into fish and my family was fighting over this dish. Apparently it’s their best seller. Rightfully so!The angry pasta, seafood with mixed sauce, and paella were so delicious.The owner, David, is so friendly and is the genius behind the menu.

AMAZING cozy, comfortable food that was presented in the most elegant way! The Owner and chef was SUCH a fun & unique guy with electric energy that was soooo personable and added that special touch to every part of the restaurant!! It was one of the best experience we had and we will definitely be back and recommend everyone to not give up if you think it’s closed!! It’s around the corner!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My meal was excellent. I ordered the chicken marsala dressed with mushrooms and steamed vegetables. The portion of food, in my opinion, was just right. While you wait, you're offered two complimentary pieces of warm bread. The environment is cozy, and the staff was friendly. Before I left, the chef came out to chat with the customers. Nice guy, extremely funny. Prices are fair compared to every other inflated restaurant. I recommend giving this place a try.
Delicious food and friendly service. Will definitely be back.

Delicious food.Excellent service.Reasonable prices.If they made their own pasta,I would give it 5 stars.Vegetarian options: They will alter dishes to your needs.
Had a wonderful night out - the atmosphere is friendly, inviting and non-pretentious. The food was excellent. One of the best spots I’ve been to in Willow Glen.
What a wonderful restaurant! We had garlic shrimp and crab cakes for appetizers. The crab cakes were very good. The garlic shrimp were AMAZING!I had the short rib and my wife had the blackened salmon salad for mains. Both were very very good. We couldn't finish them all so didn't even try dessert.We both agreed: we'll be going back.

Great food, friendly staff, and cosy ambience.We walked in for dinner and sat outsdie. Inside looked much cuter but it was super loud. We had a meatball appetizer, a salmon entree and an almond crusted sole entre.Meatballs were average, but the two entrees were tasty and generous. I particularly loved the almond crusted sole fillet.The server was very nice and brought water for my dog.Recommend this place and will be back again

Always a pleasure to dine at Sienna Bistro! A classic menu of delicious offerings, great wine list, great service, and relaxing atmosphere on the laid-back heated patio. The chef always makes the rounds and says hello to the customers, which is an added bonus. It is truly a hidden gem and one of the best restaurants in San Jose.Parking: Parking lot behind restaurant with direct access to patio.
Been coming here a long time. Sad to see economics and COVID destroying local small fantastic restaurants. Such places as these cannot afford to pay the "living wage", as good as that idea is. The margins for small businesses and especially restaurants are just too small. We all know this. This is why traditionally these positions were staffed by students. If you have the time, and the desire, Dave will appreciate your business. Sienna Bistro will always be a favorite place of ours. It is not inexpensive. A great dining experience is not meant to be.
