    We absolutely loved the decor and view here. The whole vibe was amazing. Our table was on the patio and we had beautiful views all night as the sun set and buildings all lit up. The food was good, but the chef somehow misjudged the lemon on everything. Alot of what we ordered that was prepared with lemon had way too much lemon. We couldn't eat our broccolini (and we ordered 2 large plates of it for the table) because it was so sour with the lemon. I mentioned it to the chef but he didnt do anything about it. He did however bring us a birthday treat which was very special. We had a wonderful time and will for sure be back! Thank you so much!

    Such a cool experience at Inside Out! We had the 5:00 reservation and arrived right on time. Even though there was a line to get in, they were just opening and the line went really fast. Once you step inside, you are greeted with the most amazing experience of holiday decorations that are not only beautiful but very whimsical! We ordered their specialty drinks and were not disappointed. They were delicious! Wa did not order any appetizers, and went straight to our entrees. I had the chicken and my friend had the salmon. Soooo good! We also ordered the garlic bread (meh) and the red potatoes. I highly recommend the potatoes!!! All in all, we had a great experience and would definitely go back again! Our server was great and I wish I could remember his name, sorry!

    The food, cocktails, and service were all excellent. We had several sides plus the 16oz steak and sea bass. The steak was so tender and the sea bass was the best we ever had. Our friends’ cocktails were great; my sake flight was awesome; and my husband loved the beer selection. The interior is sexy yet warm and comfortable. Loved our experience at Animae and highly recommend for a special night out!

    Friend and I visited for the Thanksgiving prix fixe dinner. It was absolutely fantastic. We ordered the lamb shank, beef filet, and added the sweet potatoes. Our onion soup and blackened shrimp appetizer choices were delicious. The pumpkin cake and apple pastry desserts were so good. The overall standout was definitely the lamb shank. Unbelievably delicious. The wine list is incredible and we complemented dinner with a lovely Napa Cabernet. The service was excellent and absolutely what you would expect. Bill, was a delight and even took a few photos of us for my visiting friend. Thank you for a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    Having Callie on our list of food experiences for a while now, we treated ourselves to Thanksgiving there. It was the best! We were greeted warmly and made to feel welcome by the hosting staff. Love the ambiance and the background music that was playing! Just the right volume that was enjoyable to hear but not too much that you could hold a conversation with your party. The food was delicious, we had the traditional turkey meal with the sides, every dish was perfectly seasoned, and paired with the perfect wine. The service staff are so friendly and work so well with each other leading to a wonderful presented meal from start to finish. We even were sent home with a turkey sandwich to enjoy at home! Had the opportunity to meet Chef Travis to thank him and his staff for such a wonderful meal! We will be back for sure !
