    We enjoyed every course of our meals. We started with the foie gras, salted cod, warm olives and honey butter and bread and everything was delicious. My husband had the roast chicken for his main and for the side he had the macaroni and cheese and both were excellent. I had the duck which is served on top of a bean cassoulet. The duck skin was perfectly crispy and the duck went so well with the cassoulet. My daughter had the classic steak and frittes and her steak was cook perfectly. We shared two tarts for dessert-one lemon and one chocolate. Both were divine. Highly recommend Le Sélect.

    Silent H was an AMAZING dining experience. My boyfriend & I came for Valentine’s Day, unfortunately we were running late due to traffic in the city & silent h was very accommodating and the staff we’re phenomenal. Eveyone kept coming to check on us and the food and drinks were 10/10. Seriously no complaints what so ever we had the best time!!! The music and atmosphere were also extremely amazing

    My experience at Oretta was exceptional. From the food to the service it could not have been better. We went there to celebrate a birthday and they went above and beyond what we were ever expecting. We were able to bring in our own cake and they even refrigerated it and served it to us with candles on it. Our server was incredible; she was so helpful and kind the entire time. Could not recommend this place enough for a special occasion or even just to enjoy a dinner out!
