Place is beautiful. Everyone was kind and courteous. Food was very delicious, the chef hit the ball out of the park with her elevation of Filipino cuisine to fine dining. Only con was the lack of lighting. It was a little too dark for me. The man seated at the table next to us asked the server for a flashlight so he could read the menu.

The ambiance is very classy. All the food we ordered are exceptionally flavorful. They really elevated Filipino/Asian cuisine. Highly recommended are Pork Tocino, Taiwanese Chicken, Kare-kare, and Turon Tart. Lastly, service is outstanding. We didn’t have to ask for anything because the staff are on top of things. We’ll definitely be coming back for more awesome dining experience.

An overall great experience! Ambience was outstanding and service was warm and courteous. Food was on the heavier side (grateful that our waitress didn’t pressure us to order more, which seems to happen more often than not at restaurants of this caliber) - we did think the Japanese wagyu was worth it. Not running back only because of the price point.

I LOVE Animae, but the pre-fixe Christmas Eve menu wasn't the restaurant's best impression. The pork belly, tomatoes, tuna and bread starter were perfection! But the fish was dry and too salty, while the rice was hard and overcooked. The service is always consistent and wonderful. I will definitely be back, just not on a pre-fixe evening.

Not for me. Maybe this is good Philippine/South Asian. But it was not great food and left us desperate for a plate cleansing. Cucumbers too oily chilis bland. Pig ear reeked of fish sauce. Crunchy rice and crag fired rice were decent but overly salted. Had the pork, sea bass and kare kare fine. I clear what the name has to do with the space or the menu. Service was great.

Highly recommended. We have the best experience ever! Dina was our server and she was excellent! Overall, the restaurant has given us a superb customer service from the entrance to our table. The food was delicious! Especially the Taiwanese chicken and Miyazaki wagyu tenderloin! This place was worth it. Will be back again.
