    Animae was great! Our waitress was very knowledgeable on the menu and provided great customer service. And we would like to give special recognition to our busser Leo…oof! He was AWESOME! He was incredibly attentive, quick, and efficient throughout our meal. Our table was always clean, water glasses were consistently refilled, and he worked with such a friendly and charming attitude. The hard work really added to our overall experience, making the service feel seamless and top-notch. Great job!

    I always say it’s the little things that go a long way. Seneca has been recommended to me by several of my friends and finally for our daughter’s birthday we decided to make reservations here; I am so happy we did. From the small note for the 16th birthday on the menu to everyone that greeted us, the lovely hostess to the server and wait staff our daughter felt so special for her 16th birthday. Thank you so much for making her 16th birthday a core memory and extra special.

    Fantastic experience for a rooftop bar. The happy hour menu was great food and fancy drinks. We had a full meal plus drinks for the two of us from the HH menu. Our server was extremely nice and attentive. We are just visiting California for the weekend but I would put this one on my list to come back to!
