   An upscale fusion restaurant with a nostalgic yet sophisticated ambiance. The quality of the food was amazing and is well worth the price. Will return!

   Me and my wife celebrated our 1st anniversary here. I seriously was not expecting their food to be this good. This is hands down my new favorite restaurant in San Diego. All their dishes were so flavorful and unique. I cannot think of anything that could have made any dish better. My standouts were the tomahawk tocino, lemongrass chicken, and crispy pig ears, although you can’t go wrong with any dish. Their desserts were also so delicious by not being overly sweet and all of their flavors working together to create mouthwatering desserts. Hard off to the chef to one of the best meals I’ve had! Service: Nice and attentive staff. Our server didn’t have strong opinions on “must get” dishes as he said that everything was good and he was not wrong! Ambiance: Their high end decor was one of a kind. Great choice of music. Amazing for a special occasion and suitable for big parties.

   Very unique decor. First impression: no self parking that’s convenient. Valet parking $20. Louder music than I like and it’s a rock dance style with rapid loud drums. Not conducive for a calm eating environment. Table tops are a very nice looking heavy granite stone. Easy to clean, but cold to the touch. Since none of the dinner plates are warm, the food tends to cool down quickly. This is a negative as I like my food hot! Waiter and service was excellent. Menu is not huge, but interesting. Food and wine and libations are steeply priced. Food presentation is elegant and very nice. The food was good, but in my view not excellent. Maybe my tastebuds were off that night, but all the dishes were missed some pizzazz. Examples: Caesar salad had fried anchovies but not enough so I could hardly taste it. Wontons could have the sauce a bit thicker so it would stick to the wontons more. The lemongrass chicken was prepared nicely however we could hardly taste the lemongrass. Our desert was a tart with a little ice-cream. The tart was rather dry. Eating it together with the tasty ice cream made it a good dish. However, not enough ice cream for the size of the tart resulting in an overall dry desert. Yes, these issues are little nuances that could have made the food and experience excellent instead of just good.

   One of the best restaurants in San Diego! The food is amazing! The service is awesome! It’s a bit pricey, but if you have a special occasion to celebrate, this is the place to go.

    We came here to celebrate my son’s 21st birthday and it was the perfect venue- food, service(Austin our server was terrific), ambience and vibe were all top notch! One of our party has a nut and shellfish allergy and we were constantly given a lot of reassurance that the kitchen was aware and had removed or separated any problem ingredients. I would thoroughly recommend Animae for a special occasion or just a relaxed and enjoyable dinner. We will be back!
