    As usual excellent service and excellent food. Impressed that when my wife had an issue with one of her dishes and told it to the bus boy he immediately addressed the issue instead of, like most restaurants, telling her to speak to our server. It is one of our favorite restaurants, if not our favorite.

    Our server was named Winter and she was very attentive, offered suggestions and was very kind. We sat outside in the balcony and the outdoor heaters worked great. They had a live DJ inside the restaurant that had everyone enjoying their meal. Food was delicious!! Cocktails were on point- full bar, beer taps and wine. Would eat there again!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. The ambience was just perfect, with cozy lighting and an inviting vibe that made it the ideal spot for a relaxing meal. Now, let's talk about the food – absolutely delicious! Each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. You could really tell the chefs put a lot of care and skill into every plate. All in all, a wonderful experience that I'd love to repeat. If you're looking for a place to enjoy great food in a lovely setting with excellent service, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit!

    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.
