We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner on the patio with our French bulldog. The turkey breast was incredibly moist. We also had duck confit, which was perfectly prepared. So grateful to be able to eat out on Thanksgiving, with our doggo. Our server, Priscilla, was an absolute delightful human being. This place is a must return to visit!

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! 🙂
