    Always a place you can count on for the flavors and plating and staffing. But...prices continue to rise, the Pisco Sour is now in a "sipping glass", the scallop appetizer is off the menu.... all indicative of moves to keep the place profitable. Needs a refreshing to justify the costs.

    We always like Selva’s on Main Street but last night was the best ever. We let our server know that we had a show at the VanWezel and he and the kitchen accommodated our request. My fiancé had her usual, Peruvian spring rolls and rack of lamb. The asparagus was done perfectly. I had the Paella and it was spot on. Wine was great as well. (Sorry, but we don’t eat dessert). We weren’t rushed but finished 10 minutes earlier than we expected - PS Leanne Morgan’s show was fabulous

    A real class act restaurant. EVERYTHING on the menu is delicious and presented beautifully. Selva on Main is a great place to impress guests from out of town.
