    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.

    Pork belly inihaw and oyster sisig were on point, wonder if they have a Filipino chef 🤩. Service was impeccable. Our dessert Yodel was one of the best if not THE best. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    We always have a great experience at Prado. The salads are delicious and you can add shrimp, salmon or chicken. The hamburger is huge and the fries are so good. I love the Arugula salad with salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly. My husband had the shrimp cobb salad that was very large and filling. We enjoy having a nice glass of wine while soaking up the lovely view from the patio and the warm sunshine. We'll be back soon.
