Our visit to Le Select Bistro was a pleasant experience overall. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the freshly baked pastries, which were warm and full of flavor. While some dishes had minor quality inconsistencies, we still enjoyed the variety and presentation of the offerings. The service was generally attentive, with staff ensuring our water glasses were regularly refilled. However, there were moments where follow-up and attention to detail could have been improved, possibly due to the busy atmosphere at the time. Despite these minor areas for improvement, we had an enjoyable meal and would consider returning in the future.

It was good. Food got mixed reviews at our table . Was expecting a little more. Service was excellent except very very slow. Our reservation was for 6:30 one of our parties was late and so we did order by 7:15. Even so, we didn’t leave until after 10 pm. And we had 2 kids with us.

Hi, Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sorry to hear that the service was slower than expected, especially with kids at the table. That’s not the experience we aim to provide. I appreciate your patience and your kind words about the ambience and the effort from our team. Your feedback about the timing will be shared with the team so we can improve. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and make your next visit more seamless. - Callum Heald, General Manager
