Animl Steakhouse, INK Entertainment’s latest culinary venture on Wellington Street West, held a VIP cocktail party for its opening on Nov. 12. Animl, whose partners include Charles Khabouth, Danny Soberano, Sacha Elwakeel and Maher Murshed, offers a discreet and cosy space designed by the award-winning Toronto-based studio Nivek Remas. The exotic interior pays homage to the untamed spirit of the Art Deco era and nights at New York’s Studio 54.
