We had a wonderful dinner at Selden Standard. Ahsley our waitress was very attentive as were the servers who brought out each dish. Explaining what each one was and confirming that there was none of the allergy items I had mention. The food was delicious and I loved the small plates so that we could try everything. Will definitley be back.

We went there specifically for turkey on Christmas Day. Our reservation was for 5 and they were already out. Had to make another choice. It was good, but not what we had hoped for.

I felt horrible about reserving so many spaces, only to be let down by my colleagues. However, after realizing this, I informed our server, who responded like a champ. She quickly moved us to a more intimate table with plenty of room for us. The appetizer took a little longer than expected to arrive, but it was well worth the wait. The rest of the night was fantastic. The server was quite attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. Loved her performance and would love to have her be my server again!
