    I’m so impressed with the service. Our server was stellar. We came in to celebrate my mom’s birthday for an afternoon reservation. We had two kids and three adults. We did not order an alcoholic drinks or apps it wasn’t the right time for us. Our server was so professional, kind and hospitable despite this. He treated us with an amazing level of respect. We will absolutely be back and will encourage others to come for their service alone.

    Animae for Valentine’s Day was a worthwhile epicurean adventure. Highest recommendation. Was it on the expensive side? Yes. One of the most expensive steaks I’ve ever eaten. Worth it. As the server said…decadent and unctuous. And the bonchon was perfect. Would have preferred to sit next to my date instead of across from, but I totally get it. Only so many tables and so much space. Our server was attentive, engaging, just the right amount of funny, and enhanced the experience. Every plate surpassed expectations by the 4oz A5 Miyazaki steak and deconstructed tuna crudo were my favorites.
