    My friends and I love Seneca, we keep going back to this place every time we hang out. The pizzas and pastas are so yummy!! We’ve tried a few things from the menu and there hasn’t been one we didn’t like. They have a good variety of pizzas, pastas and appetizers. They have good mocktails too, the cucumber is my favorite! And I don’t drink alcohol so I haven’t had any cocktails but from what I’ve heard those are good too! The staff has always been super friendly and welcoming and the view is breathtaking! I highly recommend giving this place a try! 🙂

    The location is amazing. The restaurant is a little dated. The service impeccable. The food was amazing- we ordered salads, appetizers, entrees, dessert, drinks. The only negative were the French fries- there’s nothing positive I can say about the fries. Aside from that, would highly recommend this restaurant for a nice dinner out!
