   Fantastic! I am Mexican but I have many many friends that are Filipino. And I have never experienced this level of Pinoy Cuisine. The comfort and the flavors were familiar but the delivery was extraordinary. We had the fried pigs ears, Jared kare, beets salad,tocino tomahawk, charred cabbage and to finish the Turon. Bonnie and Leo were great hosts and made us feel at home. The ambiance was sleek and the art took me back to my childhood. I love this place and for me it was a splurge but we'll worth it mostly because of the experience. I'm definitely coming back with my wife and 4 friends as Bonnie clued me in that with 6 people you could practically get the whole menu. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED Bonnie!!!

   Service and ambiance is excellent. Food is mediocre. Beer list is almost non-existent. Cocktails are batched. This is a steak-focused restaurant and we did not have stake so if you're a steak eater, it might be a better experience, overall. This was our first time back in about two years. I don't think we'll be coming back..or maybe check on it again in a year or two and see if it's improved.

   Absolutely delicious. Whatever sounds good to you, just get it. You can't go wrong with anything you pick. Better yet split multiple items with your table.

   Celebrated my 3 year anniversary with my girlfriend here and the service and ambience was out of this world! I wholeheartedly recommend, and will most definitely come back again!!

   Animae lives up to all of their good reviews. I rate the food and ambiance a 5/5. Service would be 6/5 if it were an option. So exceptional!

    Food is good. EVERYTHING is way too spicy….like the chard broccolini doesn’t need to be as spicy as the spicy chicken… everything for some reason is spicy. We ordered 12 items and it all has it. This is our 3rd time going and definitely over it. Price is insane like $90 for a bowl on pasta with some lobster chunks? You can save money and eat at better places like Island Prime or Mr. As that actually have a view and food is much better. Everything is just way overpriced by 30%.
