Seneca is the perfect restaurant for a special celebration. I took my good friend there for her birthday and from the moment we were greeted by the smiling hostess until the very end of service, we were treated exceptionally well. The service was extremely professional, yet warm and friendly. The food was phenomenal and we took our time and savored every delicious bite. We never felt rushed, despite it being a very busy night. Our table had a view of San Diego Bay, the airport, and a northwesterly view of the city. It was beautiful. We started with the arancini and scampi, which were both so delicious. We shared two pasta dishes - Cavatelli All Sugo Di Angelo and the Cacio E Pepe. I was a little sad that they changed the style of the Casio E Pepe, it was more like a macaroni & cheese, but was still tasty. The Cavatelli was perfect though! We ordered a dessert and they brought over a complimentary cannoli with a birthday candle for my friend. I highly recommend Seneca to anyone looking for a special place for not only a celebration, but to celebrate a wonderful meal.

Nestled on the 34th floor of Symphony Towers, the University Club offers a dining experience that is truly unparalleled. The views alone are worth the visit, offering breathtaking panoramas that are like no other in the city. From the moment you step into the club, the sweeping vistas captivate you, setting the stage for a memorable meal. The culinary offerings are equally impressive. Among the standout dishes, the scallops and halibut fish are my personal favorites. The scallops are perfectly seared, with a delicate balance of flavors that elevate the dish. The halibut is equally exceptional, cooked to perfection with a texture that melts in your mouth. While the ribeye is no longer on the menu, the New York steak that has taken its place does not disappoint. It’s a worthy successor, offering a robust and flavorful experience that will satisfy any steak lover. Membership at the University Club is priced at $340 a month, which grants access to this exclusive dining experience atop Symphony Towers. Given the quality of the food, the unparalleled views, and the refined ambiance, it’s an investment in culinary and aesthetic pleasure that is well worth considering. In conclusion, the University Club Atop Symphony Towers is a gem in the city’s dining scene. Whether you’re here for a special occasion or simply to indulge in a remarkable meal, it promises an experience that combines exquisite cuisine with a view that is second to none.
