    The restaurant is beautiful, both the decor and the view. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. Three of us had 3 different dishes and we were all thrilled. The fillet, the rib eye and the sea bass. We all had Caesar salads and were very happy with their unique spin on a classic. We also tried 3 different desserts and loved those as well. A chocolate one, a pumpkin cake and an Apple tart. Our Thanksgiving dinner could t have been better and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. We look forward to trying the restaurants regular menu soon!

    My friends and I love Seneca, we keep going back to this place every time we hang out. The pizzas and pastas are so yummy!! We’ve tried a few things from the menu and there hasn’t been one we didn’t like. They have a good variety of pizzas, pastas and appetizers. They have good mocktails too, the cucumber is my favorite! And I don’t drink alcohol so I haven’t had any cocktails but from what I’ve heard those are good too! The staff has always been super friendly and welcoming and the view is breathtaking! I highly recommend giving this place a try! 🙂

    Super cute spot! The vibes and atmosphere are what I think all brunch spots should be. The food was good, nothing mind blowing— but the vibes made up for it. Give it a shot :)

    Great service and seating around the chef counter was a bonus. You can see all the cooking action right in front of you. The wagyu carpaccio was the highlight of the night. It just melts in your mouth. The organic pear salad was also great for sharing. However the aged duck breast and the dry-aged bone in ribeye had some tendons and chewy parts that is unable to swallow.
