We had a great lunch date at Seneca. We started with the olives and caviar. After that we had a pizza and some linguine with clams. Everything was tasty and great. The service was excellent. The views from the rooftop are great. We highly recommend Seneca.

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.
