    Service is friendly, fast, and very thorough. Used plates, glasses, and flatware are quickly removed and replaced. The beverage and wine service are well done. The food was very good. It is a bit on the high side for what it is, but not outrageously so. And the quality of the service lives up to the restaurant's price point. My wife and I dined at Seneca on our wedding anniversary. The staff made note of that, and each person who served us wished us a happy anniversary, and the restaurant gave us champagne gratis. We would recommend Seneca to any interested diners.

    Simply lovely little place, beautiful ambiance for the holidays with white lights and greenery, classy, European vibe. We ordered all of the bruschetta options, the cheese board, pizzas, lobster ravioli, the chef's special, filet mignon, wine, and most of the desserts for a holiday company dinner. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented, and our server was attentive and thoughtful. It can get a little loud and difficult to hear when the tables are full, but otherwise it was cozy even at a long dining table, and exactly what I hoped for when I booked the reservation. We will be back, thank you!

    Service was great as soon as I got in the door, Ryan and the other staff were super friendly. We were told the specials and checked in throughout the meal. The food was what I expected, beef Wellington was yummy and the lamb shank fell right off the bone. Risotto was the right texture and was flavorful. I really enjoyed my steamed veggies too as they were perfectly buttery and seasoned.

    We had a lovely birthday dinner for my daughter. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their dinners. They surprised my daughter with a platter of delectable desserts and our entire party of five got to enjoy them. I had the salmon Oscar for my entree. It was insanely delicious - cooked to perfection with crispy skin and slightly rare inside. The crab topping was to die for. Our server, Leo, was so attentive and friendly. The lighting in the restaurant is very warm and romantic - also very flattering for photos!
