    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! 🙂

    Amazing food and dinner for husbands birthday. Our server was amazing and very personable, however he never returned to deliver the check or process payment. We asked several times and finally a different gentleman came out however they gave us a complimentary slice of amazing lemon cake or I’m not sure the exact name and our bill was reduced by 20% which we weren’t expecting. The food was outstanding. We had the pork belly which we were told is new, pizza, carbonara, gnocchi, bruschetta, tartar then of course the lemon cake. It was truly delicious and we can’t wait to come back. Thank you for a lovely evening.

    Two friends flew in from out of town & I suggested we try C Level. Neither had been before. It was a sunny gorgeous day & we sat out on the patio. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. We ordered the lobster Mac & cheese, fish & chips & shrimp & crab Louie salad. Everything was fresh & flavorful. They loved our lunch & would highly recommend it.
