Sienna

Proving that size isn't everything, Sienna on Dorchester's high street wows with fantastic food and service for each of its 15 covers, backed up by a Michelin star and three AA rosettes.

Run for the past seven years by a husband-and-wife-team – Russell Brown in the kitchen and Elena leading service – the intimate and contemporary room, painted Sienna and cream with comfortable seating and white clothed tables, is a regional high-flyer.
