"Animae’s dedicated private event space, Nima, has large floor-to-ceiling windows for dramatic views of the city skyline and an upside-down zen garden hanging overhead. The room can accommodate up to 75 people for events. Another area to consider is the Heart, secluded by curtains, which can seat 60 seated and up to 75 standing. Executive chef Tara Monsod works with the parties to customize the menu, but be sure to consider her signature uni shrimp toast and kare-kare short ribs." - Helen I. Hwang
