We had a great lunch date at Seneca. We started with the olives and caviar. After that we had a pizza and some linguine with clams. Everything was tasty and great. The service was excellent. The views from the rooftop are great. We highly recommend Seneca.

The spouse & I were visiting my daughter, who lives in San Diego. She had not been to Madison & neither had we. We all enjoyed the tomato & burrata appetizer. We also had the cioppino, Tuscan sausage rigatoni & chicken piccata; all were so good! Spouse & I had the Ibarra & The Woodsman, which were delicious. Service from Kylee excellent. We also enjoyed the music. My daughter plans to bring her roommates here.
