My favorite place to go, previously it was John Bentley's. But it is now Selby's.

We dined at Selby’s and overall the ambiance and service were pleasant, but the meal was mixed.
The beef Wellington was underwhelming. The filling felt like a custard-style component rather than a traditional mushroom duxelles, which threw off the texture and flavor balance and made it feel less like a classic Wellington.
More concerning, two separate items were served with visible dried food residue/grime on the underside—first under the duck entrée plate and later on the glass used for the caramel dessert. We mentioned it to our server and received an apology, but there was no additional follow-up.
At this price point, attention to detail and stronger quality control are expected. I hope this was an off night, because the restaurant has a lot of potential.
Edit: After sharing feedback privately, the GM called personally, took ownership, and offered a thoughtful resolution.

Ask for Lawrence and Miguel at the bar. You will not be disappointed. Thank you both for making my celebratory dinner even more special.

Overall a lovely evening- but the rib eye was described as a decadent fatty aged steak & it was dry and seemed over cooked. I asked for medium rare. The server , while lovely just said it was the aged factor that made it seem dry and I didn't want to make a big deal- but for the additional $170 I paid for that little piece - I felt cheated.

Amazing experience!!! The format and the quality of each piece was perfect and pure art. My highlight was the amuse bouche which I wish to eat a bucket full of! Thank you also for the consistent great service and our host Vincente!

3 course dining but you can upgrade the choices with additional fees. Excellent service and attention to detail. Checked on us several times during dinner and was attentive. Every course had a great presentation and excellent flavors. The price is reasonable. Ambiance was more on the dim/dark side and was romantic.

Food and services are wonderful. I had the beef Wellington and my husband had the cod , both were delicious. We like everything except the desserts are kind of too sweet. Too sugary compared with other fine dining restaurants we have been to.
Grace
Sophisticated, yet highly approachable. The food was world class both in taste and presentation. The wine selection was vast. The most impressive feature was their staff. Everyone showed great care for us and our experience.

We definitely enjoyed our prix-fixe dinner at Selby's from beginning to end. Vicente, our server, was phenomenal and took the time to explain every detail of each dish, and the rest of the staff were just as professional. Every single bite was bursting with flavor, and each dish was perfectly executed in presentation, temperature, and taste. Absolutely delicious, and we highly recommend Selby's.
Service was great, waiter was very friendly and polite. Food was great as well, with the dry aged duck breast and desserts standing out the most. The black truffle celeriac mille-feuille that came with the duck breast was a bit overwhelming and too heavy in flavor. For the persimmon chicory salad, the balance between flavors was great but the ratios of persimmon to chicory were off (not enough persimmon) making the bitterness of the chicory a little overpowering. Other than that, the food and desserts were amazing.

We had a great time celebrating anniversay there. I put a note in Open table reservation, upon arrival. The staff greeted us with a card that the all stuff has signed on to celebrate the anniversary. the food is amazing

I'd like to update my previous review. Bob followed up and personally helped resolve the e-gift card issue I experienced. He was patient, professional, and made sure everything was handled properly. While my initial visit was frustrating, I truly appreciate Bob's effort and follow-up. Thank you for resolving the matter.

It's definitely over priced and totally not worth the money. I really regretted having the new year eve dinner there. And can you believe that those 4 dishes will cost you 350 dollars (with tips)?

We dined into celebrate our anniversary. Their service was phenomenal, treating us with special desserts and welcome drinks. Amazing starters, entrees, but not sure about the desserts—they were too sweet in our opinion. The staffs were incredibly kind. Would we pay $300+ just for the food? Probably not. For the ambience and to experience a fancy Michelin restaurant? Yeah.
