    We celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary at Seneca and it was amazing. Obviously the view was spectacular but the drinks were also delicious and my spaghetti carbonara was one of the best I’ve had. Our waiter also gifted us with some champagne to celebrate our anniversary. 10/10 we will be back

    This placer is a favorite for a special dinner with friends. The 'surf and turf' special for two was incredible. We appreciate the chef/owner coming out to check on his guests. It always makes you feel appreciated.

    The spouse & I were visiting my daughter, who lives in San Diego. She had not been to Madison & neither had we. We all enjoyed the tomato & burrata appetizer. We also had the cioppino, Tuscan sausage rigatoni & chicken piccata; all were so good! Spouse & I had the Ibarra & The Woodsman, which were delicious. Service from Kylee excellent. We also enjoyed the music. My daughter plans to bring her roommates here.
