   1. We waited 30 minutes for our table to be ready. 2. Our 1st round of drinks took 20 minutes to get to us then they were incorrect. We told them They were wrong and they brought new ones and pulled them off the bill. 3. I told them it was my sisters birthday upon arrival and they never did a thing about it. Completely forgot which was super upsetting. 4. I had to flag down our waitress to ask to order a drink because she had too many tables. 5. For a table of 4 people 20% gratuity was included but only disclosed at the bottom of the main receipt. Thankfully we saw it! It was not a 20% service worthy meal. Overall it was a disappointment. It’s a beautiful restaurant and quite a splurge for poor service.

   Fantastic atmosphere. There are 2 levels the upstairs is quieter than the downstairs. It's cozy, romantic, warm and just a relaxing place to have dinner. The whole environment feels special and different from other crowded, loud, cramped neighborhood restaurants. Great for a special occasion. The food was solid but nothing truly innovative. It's a solid good meal in a relaxing location.

    Lovely dinner was really impacted by extremely loud kitchen staff. There seems to be no door to the kitchen, so the entire meal was spent listening to “I need 2 more scallops and a filet”. Followed by “where are my scallops?” The entire experience seemed less than expected in terms of service and ambiance.

    A little understaffed, understandable after the pandemic, but kept up with all the basic fine dining experience you'll expect. Food is excellent for the menu price. You hardly can find a $98 three course menu with a Michelin star in the bay area.

    What a wonderful experience, from start to finish! From the warm welcome with a “Happy Anniversary” card at the table to the very friendly service to the excellent food and wine - everything was very special. At $98 pp prix fixe plus some supplemental charges, it is not an inexpensive place! But for a special occasion, it is well worth the splurge!

    Last night’s dinner at Selby’s was one of the best fine dining dates I’ve ever experienced! From reception staff, to helpful/friendly bar staff, knowledgeable wine steward, and especially serving staff—made the evening delightful. Our food choices were delish too; chef was able to modify some dishes to accommodate food allergies. Can hardly wait to return to Selby’s.

    We made online reservations for Christmas dinner at 6:30 pm which we were charged extra $37.00; however, we didn’t get seated until 7:00 pm. Why charge customers bogus service fees for online reservations if you failed to honor the time it was booked? Service was very slow. Butter was not served with bread. Water was not filled until we asked. Positive experience was from friendly and engaging bartender. Our server was more attentive with other tables especially with the two families with little kids. Buche de Noel and Mexican chocolate were delicious.

    Selby'sResponded on January 1, 2023Hello NDisLife., We appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback on your visit to Selby's for the Holidays. It's clear that you did not receive the level of service we pride ourselves in and for that I am truly sorry.

    The restaurant is very elegant inside with well dressed staff who are well versed on all aspect of the menu, wine list, and kept an eye on things so there were absolutely no hiccups in service. The gratuity is included and the menu is prix fixe unless you dine at the bar. The wines we had were all very good. Food was great with high quality ingredients but we were expecting a bit more. Definitely a very nice night out. Valet parking is complimentary and recommended.

    This was a fantastic meal. Truly next-level. The service was perfect -- personable, attentive, fun, great recommendations, not intrusive, everything you need arrived before you knew you needed it... really just perfect. The food was excellent - loved the amuse bouche (oyster with a champaign gelee and pickled grapes - slightly bitter oyster balanced perfectly with the grape and champagne), first course was delicious (yellowfin tuna tartare - subtle, delicious flavors), the main was good (I sprang for the ribeye - it was excellent meat and I really appreciate that they cooked things on the rare side. Might have liked a little more seasoning to it. The sides of spinach and potato were excellent for such straightforward sides), and the desserts were top-notch (get the crullers... best dessert ever). The environment is lovely too: formal but still comfortable and relaxed. Another party was getting some sort of elaborate table-side martini service which I want to try next time. My immediate reaction after coming here was that I HAD to come back and bring my wife. This is a rare, excellent treat.

    The food was very good - as with previous dinners. However, this time the service was by far less than one would expect. The service was not attentive, only returning a few times during the meal - so often other staff were interrupted with requests. In addition, the Sommelier came once, dropped a bottle and never returned. Unfortunately, the poor service experience has to factor into future visits.

    We had high expectations when we walked into Selbys for the first time. We ordered martinis and brought our own wine. As we were sipping our martinis our statrter’s came out which were good then our dinner immediately came out next without our wine being served. We had to ask for the wine. We had a 6:00pm reservation we felt very rushed and for the prices you pay this should not have happened.

    Great one-Michelin-star performance by Selby's last night! We waited a bit but got a great table. Attention to detail is exemplary. The $89 prix-fixe menu now includes the 6oz filet mignon, which one of us had. The layered sweet/white mille-feuille potato side was wonderful as were the Brussels sprouts that accompanied the steak. The meat was very rare in the middle for a medium-rare. (Next time we will do medium.) The other entree had was the halibut which was beautiful in presentation and tasted wonderful. Dessert is always the highlight with the "Midnight Chocolate Cake"; the other dessert was the cheesecake which was equally wonderful. Our wait person, Gianna, provided perfect service and is to be commended for her charming, personal style. The 105-page wine list offers wines in all price ranges. We had the usual excellent wine service from sommeliers Lindsay and Tyler. Highly recommended to all. We look forward to our next visit. Bravo!!!

    Overall it was good but not outstanding food wise. Service was excellent ! Tuna Tartare was a bit bland. Duck was outstanding. Halibut was not totally edible because it was way too salty. Dessert: Limoncello Mousse was great ,but the cheese cake was way to heavy on the cream. My friend could not even eat it. Kind of disappointing . Wines by the glass we had were good , if not a bit pricey for a glass : ie some were $ 22 or $ 38 etc. Atmosphere is very nice.
