ANIMAE’s eclectic West Coast cuisine, layered with Asian influences, comes to life under Celebrated Chef Brian Malarkey. Applying a California cooking style to ANIMAE’S traditional coal-fired oven and grill, Chef Malarkey’s menu is as thoughtful as it is refined, elevating local produce and seasonal ingredients to create a lively and progressive culinary program.

Pourquoi ce sont des Perles rares

Chef de cuisine : Brian Malarkey

MICHELIN Plate
2022

De la part des éditeur·rice·s d'OpenTable: La cheffe américaine d'origine philippine Tara Monsod fait passer la cuisine fusion au niveau supérieur dans cet espace Art déco très branché. Attendez-vous à des versions opulentes de classiques tels que les oreilles de porc croustillantes et le kare kare. Monsod est l'une des rares cheffes du pays à mettre la cuisine philippine sur le devant de la scène gastronomique. Cette approche lui a valu de nombreuses récompenses, dont une prestigieuse assiette MICHELIN.

The food, cocktails, and service were all excellent. We had several sides plus the 16oz steak and sea bass. The steak was so tender and the sea bass was the best we ever had. Our friends’ cocktails were great; my sake flight was awesome; and my husband loved the beer selection. The interior is sexy yet warm and comfortable. Loved our experience at Animae and highly recommend for a special night out!

The limited menu made it difficult to find a combination of choices and flavors that would suit our eclectic group of four, and this was complicated by the tapas / shared-plate style of dining. There were very few first-course choices that appealed to everyone at the table. Making our selections required some negotiation and compromise to ensure that everyone had something they wanted to eat. The crispy pig ears were unpleasantly chewy, and the sauce was sour. The lamb chops would have been flavorless if not for the cilantro sauce underneath. The Taiwanese chicken was good, but pretty ordinary. The challenge with the shared-plate style of dining spilled into the main course. My father and I decided to split the shareable-by-design 16-ounce Australian Wagyu New York strip ($150), but he likes his beef rare and I prefer mine medium. The server's best suggestion was to have the steak brought to the table rare, and then to send back half of it to be cooked further. This makes zero sense. The quality of the beef was pretty ordinary, certainly nothing special. We also had a side of crispy potatoes. The texture on the potatoes was quite nice (reminiscent of patatas bravas we had in Spain earlier this year), but they were unseasoned/bland and were floating in a flavorless milky sauce. Our other two dining companions both ordered the lemongrass chicken, and enjoyed the crispiness of the skin and the flavorful sauce. Service was a slow and aloof, and my questions about the menu seemed to annoy the server. The dining room is high on style, which was a good fit as a venue for our celebration, but overall this was disappointing, and neither the food nor the experience was anything special.

Food (kare kare, tocino, tuna crispy rice, wagyu rice, cesar salad, ube dessert) and drink (the malarky) was all great. Service (Lelani?) was excellent. And really, i expected it to be all great for the prices they charge. And they really delivered.
