When I made my reservation through OpenTable for our anniversary dinner, I put in a note requesting a table on the second floor overlooking the main dining area on the first floor. When we arrived at the restaurant, they got us the table that we requested for. There was anniversary card on our table with the staff's signature. It was very a lovely gesture. Ambience was great, the drinks menu was encyclopedia-thick, and the food was great. I loved the tagliatelle with white truffles, the duck, and the toffee dessert. We ordered the dry aged prime rib, it was okay but not the best. The spinach was bland, and the mashed potatoes were so so. It was just a bummer because I paid extra to get that dry aged steak. Good thing our server, Stanley was awesome - very friendly and he hooked us up with some dessert wine and extra sweets. Super good!

Excellent service. The food portion is decent. The Pacific cod entrée is cooked to perfection, and the sauce underneath complements it beautifully.

We were seated 30min past our reservation time with no accommodations. They overbooked their restaurant and don't have any place for you to sit while waiting or have a drink because the bar was packed too. Us and many other couples just stood in the entry way waiting. This is a high level establishment where waiting this long should just not happen. Food and service was excellent.

Cell's has plenty of old world charm and a menu of modern delights. We did the prefix menu with add-ons for the tar and the steak. The desserts were excellent. Also chocolate cake is very dense and rich while the pudding is traditional English the service is excellent and we felt like we had been going there for years, even though it was our first time.

I have dined at Selby's a few times and while it is pricey, I always found the cost worth it. Last night, the service was not up to par. When our first course arrived, 3 of the 5 guests were given the incorrect item from what they ordered and we had to inform the server; when the entree arrived, 2 of the 5 guests were given the incorrect item that they had ordered; when dessert arrived, 2 of the 5 guests were given the incorrect item that they had ordered. Then, during dessert, a martini was poured for one of our guests. Of course, our guest had not ordered a martini to accompany his dessert so, once again, we had to inform the server. Now, this may seem minor, but you pay for exemplary service and having to stop our conversations each time for each course and inform the server that I had not ordered the sweetbreads, etc., etc., just put a damper on the night.

Absolutely wonderful experience. The service was perfection. Food was fabulous- especially the special starter. Chef had some suprises for me as well. I'll absolutely be back.

We celebrated our anniversary, and the restaurant's ambiance was originally a perfect place for that. However, there were two bigger groups in the room that was making too much noise. (We noticed one couple apparently requested to be moved to another room). Service was excellent- the whole team including our wait staff and the manager were helpful to resolve my wife's dietary needs - for that I hope the reservation could pre-ask the question so the restaurant can be better prepared to either recommend and/or provide alternatives in advance. Food tasted good with good portions. My $25 add-on for the Beef Wellington wasn't perfect although the beef was really tender and well cooked - pastry was too thick and the gravy was salty. My wife chose the cod which was perfectly prepared. We thank the restaurant for preparing the anniversary card and Champagne that made our evening memorable.

Overall is good experience. Good environment and vibes. Complain is that you can hear clearly what the next table people are talking. Food is just so so pretty ordinary that can similarly be offered by a lot more other restaurants which is not a Michelin restaurant.

Disappointing...The food was mediocre. Some dishes on the Pre Fixe menu were over dressed and not warm enough. The only dish that stood out was the White truffle risotto which was an additional $75 supplemental charge. Cocktail and wines were excellent. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside but the music as another review mentioned is too loud and it doesn't fit the space. The table next to us were talking so loudly it was distracting. There were a lot of families with children. Guests were on their devices constantly taking photos of their food or themselves. Very odd vibe that killed the ambiance. The service was off too. We came early and asked if we could have a drink at the bar before heading into the dining room. The reception staff said they would call us when our table was ready which was not relayed to the bar staff. So there was a bit of confusion. At the end of the meal our waiter actually told us we need to add a 20% tip!? I had such high expectations for this restaurant. Not worthy of the cost or the Michelin star.

Comfortable yet elegant ambiance paired with delicious fare and attentive service... you can't go wrong with this spot if you're looking for a fine meal.
One of the most memorable dinner I've had this year. Service was excellent, Every dish on the pre-set menu was good. The duck was cooked just right; juicy inside and crispy skin. The tuna tartare was real fresh and paired well with the inhouse made chips. Each dish was seasoned well and balanced.
Jessica
Our steaks were excellent. Starters and salads delicious. Service and decor wonderful. My only issue - we were served 4 desserts via the prefix menu. I would have preffered by far another side or appetizer. Far too many desserts.. we really would have been much happier with more substantive food and sharing one dessert. Otherwise a great venue!

The dining room is absolutely lovely. The setting, the lighting and the noise level were great. Tiny complaint with the odd selection of music (pop?) that was playing. I was thinking classical or jazz would be more harmonious with setting. We were seated at a small table right next to the door to the kitchen, and my husband's chair was repeatedly hit by the servers as they walked by. He moved his chair to the side and then the manager asked if we wanted to move to the middle of the room, with more room. We did, but it was not comfortable for me, being "in the center" surrounded by all others who had a banquette backing, which is more comfortable. So, that definitely distracted from our night. The prix fix was $125 for 3 courses. The options were all prepared deliciously, but not terribly inventive--chicken and beef dish for entrees. A lot of the menu asked for a supplemental fee for other options. The appetizer that was interesting was a duck tortellini, but very small serving. Other appetizer was more traditional--tomato salad. Desserts were classic, as well. It was all delicious, and I would return, but ask for a table against the wall, by the entrance.

Lobster s so good, Wellington beef (medium well) is my favorite. But dessert is too sweet Overall is a 5 star
