位於Mission Valley​的優質浪漫晚宴餐廳

The food is delicious and well prepared. The fish is always fresh and in season. For lunch I like the Seafood Cobb. It is huge, so the second portion can be reserved for dinner or the next day. The grilled shrimp, scallops and salmon are always excellent. For sides, the spinach is a big favorite. I like to add an additional dose of garlic. The wine/drink menu is adequate. I especially appreciate the ambiance, which is cozy and very friendly. The wait staff are the best! I never feel rushed or about to be pushed out the door. This is important since during the summer I have out of town or country visitors, and they do not like to be rushed! I highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a wonderful time! Our waiter was very accommodating and the dishes were all incredible! 10/10 recommend and will be back again ☺️

We were only in San Diego for 24 hours, and Animae was the perfect foodie destination for our short trip. Chef Tara’s menu masterfully stays true to Filipino flavors while elevating them in a way that feels both nostalgic and exciting. Every dish was beautifully executed, and the balance of flavors was impeccable. Our server, Chenise, made the experience even more memorable. She was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations. She kept the pacing and coursing of our meal just right, ensuring we could fully enjoy each dish without feeling rushed. The cocktails were another highlight - both inventive and perfectly balanced. Each drink complemented the food beautifully, and we could absolutely see ourselves coming back just to sit at the bar and work our way through the cocktail menu. From start to finish, Animae delivered on every level—food, service, and ambiance. If you’re looking for a truly special dining experience in San Diego, this is it. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!

insideOUT was such a cool and fun experience! I would love to stay in the “oasis” part of the restaurant next time instead of at a standard table, but regardless the ambience was wonderful and the food was even better! So cute and lively for a fun brunch vibe and service was also amazing.

Delicious food and reasonably priced. Great ambiance and fantastic service
