"Animae’s Art Deco-style dining room is a romantic backdrop for any date night, whether you’re in a rounded velvet booth in the main stretch of the room or tucked into one of its cozy dining alcoves. Dinner might include dishes like sweet and sour cauliflower, wagyu and pork wontons, hot honey-flecked Taiwanese chicken, short rib kare kare, and a Nori Caesar salad — all inventive Asian diasporic dishes from chef Tara Monsod. If you don’t have room for dessert, at least take some of the ube profiteroles home with you." - Helen I. Hwang, Eater Staff
