Materie prime di ottima qualità preparate in modo eccellente. Fantasia e passione si possono vedere e toccare con mano almeno nei tre piatti che ho ordinato ( orecchie di maiale croccanti, pollo alla lemongrass e come dolce il profitterol ). Avesse una stella Michelin sarebbe tutta meritata. ….. ma se dovesse arrivare spero che non cedano alla tentazione di aumentare i prezzi già abbondantemente proporzionati !

This was our second visit to Animae. Last night we dined as a couple, and I think we enjoyed the dinner even more than with a group of 7. We were not distracted by the friends and conversations, and we appreciated the amazing creativity and innovation that Chef Tara is bringing to San Diego diners! We began with the Kampachi Crudo with Yuzu sauce as a cold starter, and it was excellent. We also had the Beet Salad from the cold starter section, and the beets were on a ricotta creamy sauce. Also Excellent! My favorite burst of flavor from both visits was the Hunan Lamb Chops which have Szechuan Peppercorns as one of the lively flavors, from the Hot Starters section. We ordered the Wagyu Fried Rice, and enjoyed it very much with the Lamb Chops and with the final meat course: Roast Duck Leg, with an Asian flavors sauce. We had the Chocolate Cremeux dessert, and it was also a show stopper! The table service was gracious, informative, friendly, and not irritating in any way. The scene inside the restaurant was very cheerful, and the room is dramatic and very arty! Animae is definitely our go-to restaurant for out of town guests who might have preconceptions that San Diego dining is not on an international level.

Service: A+. The wait staff was truly incredible. From arranging cutlery on table to timing of food. All very thought out and attentive to detail Ambience: B. Extremely noisy. If you go to comparable restaurants in the area like Brigantine or Eddie Vs, this restaurant is quite loud compared to those. Especially considering the caliber of all these restaurants. Food: A. Food tasted great. Meats were tender and cooked through, no over spices in any of the dishes, and good selection of fare for all. Pricing: B. Meal pricing is not the best considering the type of dishes. Chinese and Taiwanese cooking can be very complex. However, considering the ingredients in those dishes at this restaurant and the type of meals…Animae is overpriced. Overall Value: B+. The noisyness, and the meal pricing does it for me. Great experience at Animae my first time but would not add it to my list of restaurants I’d return to.
