   La comida estaba muy desabrida, no sabían a nada las pastas y le pusimos y le pusimos sal y ni así tenían sabor.

   Lovely ambience. Appetizers were nice (shrimp and focaccia). Mains were lacking in flavor (pasta vodka pink sauce and veal parm). Wine pours could have been a bit more generous. In all, a lovely venue, but you’re paying for the view rather than great food.

   The atmosphere and views were lovely. However, the food and drinks were underwhelming - Reminiscent of a large Italian chain of restaurants. I would return for Happy Hour just for the views, and that would be the only thing to write home to Mom about.

   Awesome views with a hip and trendy vibe. The food is OK, but I recommend getting a pizza and a cocktail while enjoying the view.

   We reserved the private dining experience for my son’s college graduation dinner. It was lovely, everyone enjoyed themselves. The food was delicious from the salad, appetizers, to the entrees and finishing off with desserts. The service was superb. The wait staff was attentive and very courteous. We will definitely be back. Thank you Seneca for a great experience.

   Service was the worst I’ve experienced. Had to ask for water, ask for refills, food took over 40 minutes. Some of the food had to be sent back. They did remove some of the costs. Would never return.

   I have been to Seneca a few times and had enjoyed it prior so I decided to have a celebration brunch here. I was incredibly disappointed this time and it sucks because I remember it being so much better. The servers messed up our orders twice and the food came out cold. They also messed up the bill when they finally brought it out to us. The food isn’t good anymore either, my sister is very lactose intolerant and we ordered the carbonara for her as it should not have any crème if it was traditionally made but their recipe has crème in it and they claim to be an Italian restaurant? She ended up ordering the meatballs and they were gross they tasted like they just took Italian sausage from Vons and put it in meatball shape. I was embarrassed taking my full blooded Italian family there and I can’t ever go again.

    Great place to take pictures and enjoy a different part of San Diego. This restaurant is located in a hotel and parking is $9 an hour. Once we arrived for our reservation there was a small wait and we were taken to our table. Our server greeted us and was very attentive the whole visit. I will say the food was just ok. They put ricotta cheese on a lot of the dishes which I love but it was ice cold and took away from the dishes. We ordered meatballs as an appetizer and they were cold on the inside and the ricotta also added more of that chilled taste as well. Overall the flavor was great tho. We also ordered garlic bread which I think they add the garlic spread after making it cold when I think it’s meant to melt in between slices. Again very good but the temperature was off. Our server offered to get a new one but we declined. Our main course was the lasagna and it was tasty but nothing seemed to be seemed to be hot. Really weird I never experienced this before. Lastly we had the margarita pizza and this was really good and had the right temperature. Overall everything was very tasty there was just the temperature issues. Idk if the food had been sitting too long or if it was the way they finish off the dishes with the cheese and butter but I wasn’t a fan. I’m not one to complain so we ended up boxing up most of our meal and reheating at home and it was delicious. I say give this place a try because the service was great and the food was tasty. I just like my food hot when served. Great ambience overall. Our waiter did offer to have everything remade but to me it wasn’t worth the hassle. Place is quite small bring a jacket.
