    Excellent service food was fabulous and yummy . We were so close to catching our flight but got so hungry so decided to dine in island prime. We asked the host if he could bring everything we order all at once because we were in a hurry and he did what he was told. We were touched and loved how fast the services were. thank you we will definitely be back🥰

    We had a wonderful early evening dinner. Our waiter was kind, informative, courteous and timely. The fajitas, mahi tacos, carne asada nachos, and Tres Leches Cake and margaritas were delicious. Parking was plenty and free. The views of the city at night with the Christmas lights was stunning.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 9/10 Dining at Seneca in San Diego felt like stepping into a dream — the atmosphere was enchanting, with breathtaking views and an ambiance that set the stage for an unforgettable evening. Our server, Victor, was nothing short of exceptional. His attentiveness, patience, and thoughtful menu suggestions elevated the entire experience. He navigated the evening with grace, making us feel truly cared for. The only reason this isn’t a perfect 10/10 is that the food took longer than expected to arrive. For a moment, time seemed to stretch — but when the dishes finally graced our table, every bite was a masterpiece. It was a delay we were willing to forgive for such a culinary experience. Seneca isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a destination. I’ll be back — and next time, I’ll be ready to savor every second. 🍷✨

    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.
