Our first visit to Animae was nothing short of exceptional, and it’s now a must-visit destination for us whenever we’re in San Diego. We ordered a variety of dishes to sample as much as possible, and every single one was outstanding—right down to the dessert. The entire experience was unforgettable, and we can’t wait to return!

It was our first time at Seneca! Loved the ambiance. All the little details were amazing! The cocktail I had was very tasty and presentation was spectacular. I was a little surprised at how small the pour was for the glass of red wine I ordered, especially since they were a little pricey. Other than that, everything was so just top notch!

This was an amazing restaurant with a gorgeous view of the beach. I have nothing but positive thoughts about this restaurant. The most amazing appetizer was the grilled octopus. The best I have ever had anywhere. The service was excellent. It is truly a 5 star restaurant. It is a higher priced restaurant but worth the expense.
