ANIMAE’s eclectic West Coast cuisine, layered with Asian influences, comes to life under Celebrated Chef Brian Malarkey. Applying a California cooking style to ANIMAE’S traditional coal-fired oven and grill, Chef Malarkey’s menu is as thoughtful as it is refined, elevating local produce and seasonal ingredients to create a lively and progressive culinary program.

Deshalb ist es eine Ikone

MICHELIN Plate
2022

Von der OpenTable-Redaktion: Für die visionären Kreationen der philippinisch-amerikanische Köchin Tara Monsod könnte es keinen cooleren Ort geben als dieses Art-Déco-Restaurant. Opulente Twists von Klassikern wie knusprigen Schweineohren und Kare Kare heben das servierte Fusion-Food auf das nächste Level: Monsod gehört zu den wenigen Köchinnen im Land, die philippinisches Essen auf Gourmetniveau heben. Dafür hat sie zahlreiche Auszeichnungen erhalten, darunter einen prestigeträchtigen MICHELIN Teller.

The menu was fixed for Valentines day. My fiance and I both got amazing dishes and were thoroughly pleased with all of the service. The tuna crudo and the seabass curry were definitely the favorites for us. We also enjoyed some very well crafted cocktails. I think our only dig on this experience was I specifically requested a good seat. We were sat 12 inches from a couple on each side. Now I know this is normal in a lot of ways BUT this was a $450 dinner you'd expect there to be room for you. Please please never do this to anyone who is specifically asking for a GOOD seat. I even got the reservation at a later time for this reason. Anyway the food and service were awesome otherwise.

Overall, good Vday experience. The fried oysters were nasty but the soy braised short rib was absolutely delicious! Citrus salad and deserts were good.

500 dollars for valentines menu for two. Seated us at a tiny table. Not worth it. Won’t be returning. We have been there other than Valentine’s Day. Regular menu is much better, but restaurant layout is ridiculous. They cram as many people as possible into the restaurant. Almost sitting on top of each other.Asked for a booth a month ago and did not honor our request. Staff overall was nice and attentive though. in my opinion, experience was not worth the price.

The food was incredible, and the staff were attentive and made sure our Valentine’s night was special. Unfortunately, it is clear they used temporary tables to fit more people in. These tables were small and wobbly, and cocktails, water, and food barely fit. Our server even said that this is not their normal table configuration, and we were maybe 1.5 feet away from the next table, close enough to grab the food off of my neighbor’s plate. Why charge over $400 for 2 people if you can’t provide a true fine dining experience? My partner and I only eat at this cost maybe twice a year, and we felt that the restaurant oversold the seats. Even the women’s bathroom had a line, since they only had 2 working stalls and over 150 diners. Maybe the experience would have been 5 stars on a regular day and worth it, but for our experience it felt like we were second class patrons compared to the diners in their permanent tables.

Animae for Valentine’s Day was a worthwhile epicurean adventure. Highest recommendation. Was it on the expensive side? Yes. One of the most expensive steaks I’ve ever eaten. Worth it. As the server said…decadent and unctuous. And the bonchon was perfect. Would have preferred to sit next to my date instead of across from, but I totally get it. Only so many tables and so much space. Our server was attentive, engaging, just the right amount of funny, and enhanced the experience. Every plate surpassed expectations by the 4oz A5 Miyazaki steak and deconstructed tuna crudo were my favorites.

We did the Valentine’s Day prix fixe menu and the options were pretty varied for each course and tasted delicious and were decently sized portions. We also had great service!

It is 100% a staple to San Diego. From phenomenally crafted cocktails to exquisite, seasonal dishes— Animae never fails to deliver. :)
