While reservations are hard to come by, and the noise level can be overwhelming, the experience captures the essence of fine dining. Dishes range from delightful appetizers like tuna kinilaw and crab noodles to mixed reactions on mains such as wagyu fried rice and beef kare-kare. Service varies, but attentive staff and standout meals leave a lasting impression. Overall, it's a worthwhile destination for those seeking a memorable culinary adventure, though expectations should be thoughtfully managed.
Waited forever to get reservations. My expectations were very high. Overall I would say service good, food was fine but overall missed my expectations for the hoped for 5 star experience given the high price.
Try the Short Rib Kare Kare......it is so flavorful, moist and tender. Crazy good. We also love the service and ambiance at Animae. What a great dining experience. Can't go wrong with this creative and beautiful restaurant. We will definitely return!
Best fancy meal we have had in awhile- great flavors, textures and balance to the richness of the dishes
Extremely well prepared and interesting food, wait staff very helpful. A foodie destination !
We came here for my husbands birthday and it was AMAZING. We sampled several items from each part of the menu including drinks. One of our favorite things was the cheapest item on the menu- the buns! The decor is well thought out for the theme of the restaurant. Overall great experience!
