Chef de cuisine : Brian Malarkey

MICHELIN Plate
2022

La chef américaine d'origine philippine Tara Monsod fait passer la cuisine fusion au niveau supérieur dans cet espace Art déco très branché. Attendez-vous à des versions opulentes de classiques, tels que les oreilles de porc croustillantes et le kare kare. Tara Monsod est l'un des rares chefs du pays à mettre la cuisine philippine sur le devant de la scène gastronomique. Cette approche lui a valu de nombreuses récompenses, dont une prestigieuse assiette MICHELIN.

Great food! Ambience was fun and energetic. As cars as the service we felt a little bit rushed but overall everything was outstanding.

Best dining experience we’ve had in years! First, the food — amazingly creative flavor combinations that surprised our palettes with every bite. Not a single dish disappointed. Second, the service — our server Angelica was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuine. Top restaurants can have servers too scripted and fake in their approach — not here. Angelica never once rushed us (which sadly seems to be the norm at many high-end restaurants now) and made our anniversary dinner one to remember. Third, the ambiance — the design is dramatic and spectacular yet comfortable and not imposing. They have a great music track and play it at just the right level. Such a relief from overly-loud restaurants. Can’t understand why Animae hasn’t received at least one Michelin star — they rivaled any of the ones we’ve been to. It’s our new favorite restaurant. You won’t be disappointed!

Everything was excellent. Although I was surprised with a 4% surcharge added to bill. Server told me it is a mandatory fee.

Animae was delicious! Everything was great, beautiful dishes with awesome flavors. Staff were really nice and friendly, the mood was upscale dark but there was enough light to see your food. I thought they went a little overkill with all the silverware they brought out over and over with every dish haha but if they wanna wash that many utensils, more power to em! We had a great time and I will be back again soon! Try the pig ears, they were so full of flavor and cooked perfectly!

Food was delicious but had some annoying things happen. We booked our res for 8:45pm (the only other times were way early like 4pm). We got a call from them at 8:20pm saying are we still coming, because their kitchen closes at 9:15pm. It made us feel like a burden for being there at the time, like they wanted us to say no, because they wanted to go home. When being seated we were warned again kitchen was closing soon so hurry up and choose. The valet when we got there (on time) told us they were leaving soon and then made us come out to get our keys, after only our first dish was served. It really made us feel rushed and unimportant :( In addition, my husband wanted the dry aged steak but the smallest they had was 20+ oz. That’s kind of humongous and would take days to eat. So although the food was delicious, we wouldn’t want to “bother” them again by returning.

animae's food was really good, its literally your filipino food but make it fine dining. Price was reasonable for the food and serving is portioned pretty well i was able to share my foods with 3 other people. I recommend the dinuguan, ginataan, crispy pork ear and the crispy potatoes. i would definitely come back !

I booked this restaurant for my team and I. We absolutely loved the experience from the moment we walked in until we left. The ambiance was clean, modern century decor, impeccably curated playlist, and the staff couldn’t have provided better service. Everyone was attentive, courteous, and made sure our experience was noteworthy. The food was flavorful with beautifully complex profile that compliments family style dining. We will definitely return.

Fantastic dinner experience with delicious and interesting takes on Filipino and other southeast Asian dishes. Our favorites were the coal roasted cabbage with miso butter and the short rib kare kare. As Filipinos, we found that the dishes honor the traditional roots of our food while still having fun. For dessert, both the ube profiteroles and the coffee calamansi mouse were perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. Would recommend for any special occasion!

We unfortunately went on Mother’s Day and the fixed menu had no flavor and seemed like it had been prepared days in advance. Nothing to go back for. Service and ambience was excellent, but the food seemed put together for looks, but not level up flavor.
