   I wanted to love the food.. our server was just fine but the restaurant suddenly seemed understaffed for a Sunday. Took 15 minutes to get drinks that they didn’t have one of the ingredients for.. then had to come over and offer something else.. then ordered a coke and a soda water.. also took over 10 minutes to get.. we ordered the specials.. they were okay… Will try this restaurant again.. I loved the vibe and hope it was just an off night…

   It was our first time here. We had reservations for 2 at 8:15pm., later than usual for us. We were seated next to a table of 8 and a table of 6 behind us. Really loud, music was loud, and food was so, so, for the price, Brick Chicken and Sea Bass. Only highlight was a lovely party of two on the other side of us that were there for the first time as well. We struck up a nice conversation. His Fjsh & Chips were still frozen and sent back. We’ll give the restaurant another try, but perhaps earlier in the evening. The decor looked beautiful.

   Incredible food, exceptional waitstaff, great ambience. The creativity in both the dishes (best cauliflower I’ve ever had) and the design is off the charts. We shall return.

   We came to Selvins as two couples with one person in our group having dined at Selvins previously. The ambiance was warm and inviting and each area was unique and interesting. We ordered cocktails which were all amazing and well enjoyed by each diner. We had the focaccia bread, roasted cauliflower, arancini, and ceviche as shared appetizers. The kale salad was next and each couple shared an entree, which was a good idea because all servings were very generous and easy to share across 4 diners. Our server, Mike was outstanding, had a great attitude, explained all our options and provided wonderful suggestions. His information about the specials convinced us to order the salmon and the burger - both excellent choices. By sharing we were able to share two desserts, carrot cake and the affogato with hazelnut gelato. Both were delicious choices. Would definitely return and want to try the bar next time as it is lively and beautiful.

   Great food and service! They also gave my Mom free vanilla and chocolate and vanilla ice cream with a lit candle for her 81st birthday! We ended up singing “Happy Birthday!” to my Mom! This is a wonderful place!!! Please go here and try it for yourselves!!

   I ordered a Bloody Mary, and it was the most tasteless Bloody Mary I have ever had, not to mention the smallest I’ve ever had and at a price of $15.00. Too small and overpriced

   beautiful restaurant , very loud , especially when the singer took a break and piped music came on. Service excellent , staff friendly, considerate and kind and attentive . Staff still trying to master pace and timing of meal. Everything came out quickly , so you could feel a bit rushed . Excellent cocktails . Encrusted sea bass marginal, lobster bisque very good. dessert ok. we had the red velvet cake and berry tart.

   The decor for Valentine’s Day was top tier. Honestly, surprised at the lengths they had gone to make the place romantic. Our server Mac was super attentive even with a full house. The food was yummy. My girlfriend loved it so I guess that’s all that really matters.

   Thank you for dining with us. We are lucky to have Mac on our Team. Look forward to hosting you again soon.
