Wow. Spectacularly awful. If you like cold (and I mean COLD) food and pretentiousness this is the place for you. Now I will say the Tomato toast and the cherry sour drink was good. However, it started going downhill when a dish was brought out by a runner before any of the other dishes and was set on our table without silverware. She left without bringing silverware and it would be a full 5 minutes before our server was able to be flagged down to get us silverware. We noted that this dish needed to be refired and brought out with the remaining dishes. After 15 minutes more the rest if the meal came out, and you guessed it, the original "needs to be refired" dish came out 5 minutes later. My wife's pasta was cold. Not lukewarm. Cold. Think I just opened a can of chef boyardee's and poured on a plate cold. It was disgusting. Oh and the "refired spaghetti" (buttered noodles) was also cold. The chicken parm (which their version is deep fried chicken) was warm but unseasoned and the breading was oil sogged because the frying oil was clearly not hot enough. This place gets 1 star. My favorite part was when the runner was doing her makeup in a mirror behind the hostess stand in the middle of the dining room. At a price of $183 for two for pasta this place needs to rethink their workers, their menu, and how they are going to keep attracting people. Shut down for three weeks and learn how to run your restaurant! That the Strib gave these guys a glowing review is beyond me. Very emperor's new clothes. read more

My friends and I had the best dinner here! Fiore was our favorite cocktail; the strawberry rhubarb purée was the perfect touch. Their gin and tonic had a fun twist on the classic drink. We shared the farfalle insalata cold pasta as an appetizer and had zero regrets with this decision. The pistachio pesto sauce was light and flavorful. For dinner, we split the sorpresine, agnolotti, and birria pizza. All different but worked well together. We ended the night with two scoops of affogato which was absolutely perfect. The atmosphere was very comfortable and inviting. Would highly recommend this spot! Can't wait to come back! read more

Visited 3/19 and 5/8/26. Yum! This place has become an instant fave and I'm so excited for patio season. Ample street parking available. We made a reservation on both occasions but didn't have to make it too much in advance so it's always worth checking on. Service is always spectacular with a huge attention to detail and really customized spiels about the menu. The things I've recently tried for drinks have included the spritz del ambratta, the fiore, and a sparkling red from their wine selection. I find myself going back to the Fiore and would recommend that most although their wine is a solid selection as well. In my opinion, the best starter combination is the focaccia plus the lemony beans. The focaccia is solid and it's so good to dip in the mixture that the beans are doused in. The Caesar was decent as well but you can't miss with that other combo. Then, of course, the mains. If you love creamy pasta, do yourself a favor and get the cavatelli. One of my favorite dishes I've had there; I kept almost comparing it to an adult Mac and cheese. Great for sharing if creamy pastas are a bit too rich for your liking. The lasagna is always a close second and you can't go wrong with it. My friend adored the pickle pizza and I thought it was solid too although I would still probably get the cavatelli or lasagna if you are between that and the pizza. Another great shareable. The saffron spaghetti was decent with some really good bite from the noodles and the taste of saffron really coming through, but I would probably get those other dishes before I would order that. On the first occasion, I was there we were celebrating two of my friends' 30th birthdays and H&S did such a good job of celebrating and making them feel special plus they brought out French silk pie cannolis for us plus glasses of sparkling wine, so I would highly recommend this place as a celebratory dinner. I hope it becomes a big mainstay in twin cities/twin cities adjacent cuisine. read more

We finally made it back to one of our favorite spots in downtown Hopkins, and we were delighted to see that the new patio is open for the season! Such a lovely new spot to enjoy some delicious food! We came with some friends this time and were able to order a few more dishes to share. The stars of the show were the lasagna and the cavatelli dishes. The cavatelli is so unique and rich with the hazelnuts and house made boursin. The lasagna was such a lovely new experience; it was a white cheese lasagna with mushrooms and it was absolutely amazing. The new cocktails are delicious as well but we were missing the Fiore from the menu, hopefully that one will return in the future! read more

Hendrix & Siena is situated on a quaint corner on Hopkins Mainstreet, with big windows that let in lots of natural light. The menu is focused and highlights pastas and pizza. Some of the dishes are seasonal, while others seem to be regular staples. We especially enjoyed the unique take on bruschetta featuring eggplant and 'nduja, and the two layer lasagna was an interesting way to serve the dish. Service felt a bit brusque for the quality of the restaurant, it would have been nice to hear more about the dishes and feel a bit more attended to. read more

Hendrix & Siena is such a vibe. Loved the cozy lighting and had some standout food. One major food highlight is the cavatelli, which had the most delicious butternut squash sauce. I want a butternut squash soup with all those amazing flavors! The dill pickle pizza was also great and I'd get it again, though nothing quite beats the state fair pickle pizza for me! I would definitely pass on the bruschetta next time; the texture was just not it for any of us three who had it. Such a lovely spot in Hopkins! read more

I came here for my birthday earlier this week and wow what a wonderful experience. The food was all around fantastic. This restaurant opened in January 2025 and glad I came across it online! Fiore - 8.7/10 3 of us ordered this drink and it was very good, simple gin-based drink. The drops of herb-infused EVOO on the top was a nice touch and a refreshing cocktail. Lablabi - 8.1/10 None of us had tried a dish like this before. Fun combo of burrata, chick peas, harissa paste, and croutons. It really worked well together and is apparently a staple dish in Tunisia. Caesar salad - 7/10 Very light, good parmesan, lemony, I would have liked more toppings but given how creamy many of the other dishes were, perhaps a lighter start to the meal was good. :) Banh mi pizza - 9.2/10 This was their pizza of the day. It was so tasty with slow roasted pork, cucumber, and a delicious curst. Excited to come back another time and try their hot honey pepperoni. Pappardelle alla lisa - 8/10 Having ordered pappardelle a few times recently, I'm finding it's not my favorite noodle because it's more floppy and less chewy because of how wide and thin it is. Regardless, still a good dish, the meat sauce was a little more muted in flavor than I expected, maybe the nuttiness of the grana padano contributed to a different flavor profile. Cavatelli - 9.5/10 This was the best dish of the night and surprised us all! How could butternut squash be so good. However, this was like the best, creamiest mac and cheese. Such a satisfying texture, the boursin sauce was incredible. This is one of those rare special dishes I will remember and come back for some day. Lasagna - 9/10 Really good white lasagna, creamy sauce, with a mushroom-forward flavor. It's nice having a thinner two-layer lasagna. Chicken Parm - 8.9/10 So different than everything else on the menu! Incredibly crispy deep fried chicken with some good spices from chili crisp. Felt like eating ribs because they were served on a skewer. Spaghetti - 7.9/10 Savory olive oil and butter sauce, well prepared dish with zucchini, lighter than the other pasta dishes. Budino/Lemon meringue - 8.4/10 Excellent custard/pudding and mix of flavors Cannolis French silk - 8.2/10 I don't typically go for cannolis because of the ricotta filling but these were very good. Also great crispy texture. Nice atmosphere and service. Walking up to the exterior of the restaurant you wouldn't expect such a high quality dining experience. Recommend checking it out! read more

Fantastic food and fresh pasta! Their take on a caesar salad is refreshing and the crisp bites of asparagus are great. The Cavatelli pasta is a treat and is so creamy and flavorful. The lasagna has a cream sauce and is loaded with mushrooms. The lamb ribs literally fall off the bone. You can make reservations ahead of time and there is street parking available. read more

My wife and I went to Hendrix and Siena, one of our favorite spots in downtown Hopkins Friday night, and were blown away yet again. We shared the Caesar salad, and I ordered the French Onion Agnolotti, then afterwards we split an affogato. The Caesar Salad was well covered in a delicious Parmesan cheese, the lettuce was at its peak freshness, and the dressing was light, fragrant and lemony. So delicious! The French Onion Agnolotti was the star of the show! It consisted of noodles stuffed with potato's, with French onion soup broth and a cheese that's stuffed with caramelized onion. It was unbelievably savory, rich, and the cheese itself hosted an aromatic variety of herbs that took it all to the next level Finally, we finished with the affogato. Never thought to try eggnog flavor and coffee together, but it was a perfect Christmas pairing. The sweetness of the ice cream, eggnogs flavor and espresso were a match made in heaven. Throughout our experience our staff provided a top level of service. Always making sure we had what we needed, cleaning our table of all crumbs and fallen cheese between courses, and swapping out plates and silverware to not cross contaminate our courses. Hands down, a fantastic meal, service, ambience and overall experience from Hendrix and Siena. read more

Will absolutely be back! Adorable space, attentive service, and delicious menu. We got the Mozzarella in Carozza, Cavatelli, and Pepperoni pizza and it was all delicious.

We had a wonderful girls night there and look forward to coming again! read more

A bit of a west metro hidden gem. Highly recommend. Beautifully appointed with a great patio, the menu is inspired and the food is delicious. The butternut squash, fresh baked focaccia, gem lettuce Caesar, chicken parm, and French silk cannoli were all great. Ultimately lost a star for the 3 meat pappardelle which was okay but not great and service which was inconsistent. Ample street parking nearby. read more

Beautiful space and great staff. Plenty of residential parking. I got the orecchiette and the pasta was cooked perfectly! The sauce was also pretty good with a balanced flavor of sour, salty, and a touch of bitterness. My partner got the pappardelle de lisa and I was a little less impressed with this dish. The meat sauce was a bit too acidic and the pasta was super thin. My friend got the lasagna and said that it was good, but not much else. The drinks, were delicious! Overall, I had a pretty good experience and eventually would like to come back and try more. read more

What a very cute charming restaurant! Had a lovely date night here and was very happy we were able to get a table without a reservation. The restaurant is small so I can see why having a reservation in the future would be helpful. We started with an Elote Salad which was so delicious. I would say caution because I had no idea there would be sliced jalapeños with the inside of the jalapeño's still in there and that's like the crazy spicy part. Some slices were inconsistent and I just moved all the jalapeños a side and did not eat them. I tried one to see what it would taste like as a whole but it just was too spicy I couldn't enjoy other flavors. I'd say remove the jalapeños and you have a better salad. Next we decided to try the special which was a lobster pizza. I thought it was a unique pizza and very tasty. I'm glad I was able to try it. Lastly the dessert was so so so delicious! My husband and I are huge fans of Creme brûlée and this was just delicious as it had a peach cobbler crumble that was so tasty! I'm excited to check out more items on this menu as there was a great selection! read more

We were coming back to the cities from a day in Hutchinson and randomly found Hendrix and Siena because we wanted pizza. It did not disappoint! Food was excellent from start to finish. Elote Caesar was one of the best Caesar salads I've had. We were really debating the lobster pizza at $40 but it was definitely worth it as a unique one-time pizza. Delicious! The crème brulee was unique with peaches on top. Super delicious if a little small portion wise. Loved the space itself. Cozy and inviting. Our server Andrew was top-notch. He clearly took the job seriously which was nice to see as it isn't always the case these days. Really happy we visited! read more

Restaurant is super quaint and cozy and on the smaller side, so make sure to grab a reservation, otherwise we did bar seating and worked out great!

We will be back!! read more

Love that there's now an upscale pasta place on the west side! The reservations are always booked out, so plan ahead. We tried the pappardelle alla Lisa and the lasagna duefoglie. The lasagna was incredible and very light. The pappardelle noodles were great, and the sauce was good but basic. The carpaccio appetizer wasn't our favorite as it was overpowered by the mayo and roe taste. Would recommend the fiore cocktail for a floral summery drink! read more

Food was outstanding. Atmosphere was nice. The service was excellent. We went right away the open at 4pm, so not too crowded and loud. Parking is a little tricky.

Normally we don't box for anything. read more

This is such a great addition to Mainstreet! The ambiance is dim & relaxed. The service was great, the server was very attentive and offered great suggestions. The food was delicious! We ordered the Tikka pizza which topped with crispy chickpeas and shredded chicken. I would have preferred the pizza to be slightly crisper but the flavors were still good! We also ordered the cavatelli which was phenomenal! It had a creamy butternut squash sauce topped with house made cheese and hazelnut. This was my favorite dish here so far. It does get pretty busy so I'd recommend reservations in advance. read more

We don't have a reservation so we were seated at the bar. We started off with martinis and delicious house made soda. I wasn't a big fan of the lemony beans but the chicken parm and the gnocchi with brown butter sage was delicious! The chicken was juicy with a light spice and the gnocchi was perfectly cooked. Elote Cesar salad was so good I would visit again just for that. We definitely need to visit again and try more menu items. Service was friendly and we utilized street parking. read more

We had fantastic service from the moment we walked in the door for our first (and not last) visit. Our server was so helpful and provided good assistance in building out our meal. The Arctic chat carpaccio was new to the menu and was delicious- perhaps a bit heavy on the spicy aioli. The pappardelle alla Lisa was outstanding. That three day meat sauce was so delicious and you can't beat freshly made pasta. The Lasagna Duefoglie had delicious mushrooms and the fontina had a great texture. We had the giardiniera focaccia with the mains and that was an excellent combo. read more

What a wonderful place in Hopkins! We shared a lot and we are glad we did! We started with the pepperoni pizza. This was one of the best artisan style pizzas in the Twin Cities. I then ordered the Caesar salad. Good not fab! Then we had the chicken! A must to order! So good and enough to share. We had two pastas one with butternut squash which was good and one with three day Ravi. Both really good! We ended with yummy French silk cannolis. Can't wait to meet friends there next time! read more

Dinner at Hendricks and Sina was nothing short of incredible. The atmosphere immediately made me feel at home - warm lighting, comfortable conversation and a genuine sense of hospitality that's hard to find anywhere else.

I highly recommend the lamb ribs and the pickle pizza.!! The food was outstanding. read more

Located right off Main Street in Downtown Hopkins, Bar Siena brings is a great new addition in the west metro! There is ample street parking right outside of the restaurant and the interior is cozy and welcoming, with small candles on each table. We were welcomed in by the hostess right away and were seated a bit earlier than our reservation which was a bonus. We were really looking forward to the Cavatelli and the Pappardelle Alla Lisa which they were unfortunately out of. So instead, we ordered the Ricotta Gnocchi, lasagna duefoglie, and the dill pickle pizza. I was very pleasantly surprised with the lasagna and found it to be my favorite dish of the night! The ricotta gnocchi was a somewhat small portion size so if that would have been my whole meal, I would have been a bit bummed but was perfect to split as an appetizer. They were smothered in the Calabrian chile sauce so be prepared for spice! The dill pickle pizza had the most amazingly, crispy crust! It had a stronger dill than pickle flavor so if you aren't a huuuuge pickle fan but like dill, this would be the perfect pizza for you! I am excited to go back and try some additional dishes!! read more

This small minimalistic restaurant was everything I expected. Food was superb. The chicken parm was crispy and the fresh parm and basil really complemented the fish. Unlike traditional parm there was no overbearing red sauce which I appreciated. The last was the perfect pairing. The mushrooms were delightful. The only negatives were the service was a little lacking. We waited over 15 minutes for our server to acknowledge us. The noise level was high as well so difficult having a conversation. We received a complimentary peach crème brûlée that was heavenly as well. read more

This has been a fantastic addition to Hopkins! The food is incredible, service was great, and atmosphere inside is warm and welcoming. They're always updating and switching up their menu which i also love. We had the dill pickle pizza and 3 pastas and all were phenomenal. We didn't expect to love the pizza as much as we did! Pastas were all fresh with great flavors. The cavatelli was probably our favorite pasta which at the time was melted butternut squash, house made Boursin, and hazelnut crunch. For dessert we had the French silk pie cannoli and ended up doing another order because they were so good. read more

Bar Siena could have fooled anyone, moving through their opening Saturday evening as if it were their hundredth. I usually expect the first few nights, weeks, sometimes months at any new restaurant to be clunky. However, this was not our experience at Bar Siena. Staff was friendly, attentive and knowledgable. Our waitress let us order slowly, checked in appropriately, and did not seem too overwhelmed. Each of our dishes came out as expected, hot and on time. Not to mention the elegantly simple interior. With curved ceilings, glowy, soft-yellow lighting and pearly, light pink walls, it's not only inviting but unlike what you'd imagine for a previously quiet Chinese restaurant turned Italian dining space. The pizza is good, really good. My favorite was the Dill Pickle. Although I avoid this item at the State Fair, as it always looks kinda greasy and a little too cheesy, Bar Siena's rendition is the opposite. The crust is almost sourdough like but with more flavor. The combination of both provolone and havarti work well and the delicate cornichons and grated horseradish combine to make a salty, savory, yet subtle dill bite. We also tried the Chicken Tikka pizza. The flavor profile was so unique, with a bright apricot mostarda to cut through the tomato sauce, finely shredded chicken, and crunchy chickpeas. Good pizza is hard - they have it figured out. Our small dishes consisted of the Lemony Beans and the fried mozzarella ball (Mozzarella in Carozza). The former dish consists of beautiful butter beans coated in a vibrant olive oil based marinade with chopped broccolini and my favorite, grana padano. The beans bursts with flavor and the dish is perfect to share. The mozzarella was recommended, but maybe my least favorite dish, only because everything else was incredible. Picture a fried mozzarella ball in a tangy, spicy red sauce. It was good, but by the time we split it four ways, all the cheese had oozed from the crust and it was slightly cold. More likely user error than anything else. Although each pasta dish looked appetizing, we finally landed on the Ricotta Gnocchi. Now that I think about it, I didn't notice the ricotta, unless it was mixed with the sauce, which certainly took after the Calabrian chiles. So spicy. The gnocchi was cooked to perfection, with a bit of a bite on the outside and soft, pillowy interior. A very small dish, but with the flavor profile being so strong, I think it ended up being the perfect amount. We ended the night with Tapioca Budino. I haven't ever had tapioca; I haven't ever had budino? Do they go together? Either way, the little tapioca pearls and creamy, rich yet subtle flavor of the pudding made up a fluffy, texture forward base with the most decadent salted caramel syrup coating the top layer. Even with four delicate spoons, our bursting stomachs couldn't finish the entire small pot of this magical dessert. Overall, seriously impressed with the team behind Bar Siena. Truly the complete experience, from comfortable seating, to a relaxing atmosphere, lovely staff and delicious, unique food, this is certainly a fitting addition for the flourishing Hopkins community. read more

The menu is small, but that usually means that what they do make is made well. One thing I was a bit disappointed about was the appetizer selection - all the appetizers seem to heavy considering they will be followed by pasta dishes. Would be nice to see a vegetable forward option. We tried the cavatelli and a springy pasta dish with dill and peas (not on the online menu). Both were delicate, flavorful and enjoyable. Portion sizes are a good size, not too big but could possibly share if you start with appetizers. The tables are a bit too close to each other, but overall a nice place. I hope they do a rotating menu because I would love to try more dishes they come up with! read more

We had a 5:30p reservation on a Saturday with a great table including view to the kitchen. It's a tight space, but we didn't feel crowded. It was a bumpy start with drinks, they were out of multiple items and do not stray from the menu. It's a small menu for food, we had 8 in our party so decided to order a variety of dishes to pass around. For starters, Lemon beans which were fine and bruschetta that was really good. Pizza, gnocchi, white lasagna and some other stuff for entrees. Surprisingly the white lasagna was most people's favorite. I'd visit again but service was just so slow. I mean we waited a long time for drinks, each round of food and the check. read more
