    We had an absolutely fabulous time at Seneca-first time visit. Great outdoor view table and even tho it was late December the heaters made it just fine being outside. Wonderful service, good pricing for the quality and we loved everything about it. Started with cocktails then Calabrian sausage pizza and caesar salad-both were outstanding (Caesar is lighter than typical which we really enjoyed) then main courses of casarecce alla vodka pasta, 16oz NY strip and chicken alla diavola....then a couple of gelatos to share for dessert......pretty much everything was perfection--not sure if we just got lucky but nothing to complain about AT ALL (which is kinda no fun). We liked the casual vibe but upscale experience. FOR SURE will come back again. A+

    Amazing Experience at insideOUT! I recently dined at insideOUT in Hillcrest, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the chic and inviting ambiance. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and relaxed, making it ideal for a night out. Our server, Grant, was absolutely amazing—attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making the service nothing short of phenomenal. The food was exquisite, with every dish crafted to perfection. And let’s not forget the festive drinks—they were not only delicious but also beautifully presented, adding a fun and celebratory vibe to the evening. If you’re looking for a restaurant that offers top-notch service, delectable food, and a gorgeous setting, insideOUT is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

    The ambiance is very classy. All the food we ordered are exceptionally flavorful. They really elevated Filipino/Asian cuisine. Highly recommended are Pork Tocino, Taiwanese Chicken, Kare-kare, and Turon Tart. Lastly, service is outstanding. We didn’t have to ask for anything because the staff are on top of things. We’ll definitely be coming back for more awesome dining experience.

    We went here for Christmas Eve, and it was lovely! Lara was a wonderful waitress. The food was delicious. We sat on the patio, and they accommodated our request by bringing over a heater. We will be back next Christmas Eve!
