    We had such an amazing and well rounded experience! Started off with a fantastic espresso martini! We are a little snobbish when it comes to these but this one was actually made with espresso and a mascarpone cream foam on top really made it so delicious. The lamb Shank with risotto was creamy and a fantastic bite as well as the vodka sauce with added sausage was a great recommendation. The server was so nice and a true Italian from Sicily! Didn't make us feel rushed but still always checked to make sure we were happy. I love the limoncello shots post meal. Made me feel like I was back in Italy. Will definitely be coming back and I'm going to see if they have gift cards for a Christmas gift to my parents!

    The team there as always provided outstanding service. Very welcoming, attentive and so fun. Unfortunately the food was a little underwhelming (my chicken was dry and my friends’ side dish was cold). However, the holiday decorations were so fun and festive. Had a great evening celebrating my friend’s birthday!

    Had an awesome brunch experience, usually only come here for dinner but the brunch menu was tasty and the mimosa pitcher is such a great deal especially for a big group, shout out to our server Brittany she took such great care of us!

    Service is friendly, fast, and very thorough. Used plates, glasses, and flatware are quickly removed and replaced. The beverage and wine service are well done. The food was very good. It is a bit on the high side for what it is, but not outrageously so. And the quality of the service lives up to the restaurant's price point. My wife and I dined at Seneca on our wedding anniversary. The staff made note of that, and each person who served us wished us a happy anniversary, and the restaurant gave us champagne gratis. We would recommend Seneca to any interested diners.

    We had a lovely birthday dinner for my daughter. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their dinners. They surprised my daughter with a platter of delectable desserts and our entire party of five got to enjoy them. I had the salmon Oscar for my entree. It was insanely delicious - cooked to perfection with crispy skin and slightly rare inside. The crab topping was to die for. Our server, Leo, was so attentive and friendly. The lighting in the restaurant is very warm and romantic - also very flattering for photos!

Travelers love stopping in Kensington on their way through San Diego. It is well-known for seafood since it's near the coast of California. The clams, lobster, tuna, and other seafood are fresh at marketplaces and restaurants. Fish sandwiches are local favorites, and the fish may be gently seared or fully cooked. It is also served raw in the forms of sushi, sashimi, and ceviche at many fusion restaurants. Kensington is also home to mom and pop stores on the east end.
