The serving staff are very friendly but lacking a little on the familiarity with the dishes. That's the only nitpick I can give Selby's.The flavor and technique totally justified the respect for Selby's approach to classic fine dining.

I was very pleased as it was my second time attending Selby's- interesting that when I asked if I wanted another glass of wine, I stated no, but he started to pour...I reminded him I said no so he took the glass away....kind of a waste.

The food was incredible. We ordered one of the main prix fixe menus with a wine pairing. This was delicious. Waiters and waitresses served us extremely attentively and graciously. We didn’t realize a pair of twins worked for the restaurant at first because they were so often at our table.The food was also great. A common trope was to include a liquid sauce within a solid shell, such as a pizza inspired pastry with a tomato reduction inside. The dessert (pictured) was also delicious and provided a variety of eclectic bites and flavors.

Terrific dining experience from beginning to end. My wife and I enjoyed dinner at Selby's, and brought a bottle from our wine cellar. As soon as we arrived, our sommelier, Sam, introduced himself and offered to take the bottle upstairs to our table. When we were seated, he asked if we wanted him to decant it. When I responded that I wasn't sure whether the wine would benefit (it was 20 years old) he offered to open and taste it and then delivered his professional recommendation. Upon pouring it, he shared a rich set of observations on the wine. Truly amazing service and attention to detail that really set the standard for an outstanding dinner! We are looking forward to returning!

Nice ambiance, but the staff were not very welcoming nor didn't say goodbyes-thank you after the dinner. Several waiters and the sommelier keep on pushing us to order wines, they also rushed us out. We will not be back anytime soon specially we're driving from San Francisco. It's not worth the drive and the experienced.

I have been to Selby's many times and it never disappoints. Lynda was an amazing server and all of the staff are lovely. The winter menu was phenomenal with standout dishes of a pillowy soft gnocchi with truffle and guinea hen two ways , both excellent and flavorful. Osetra caviar was also incredible and packed with flavor, one of the most incredible things I've ever eaten.

I would give Selby's 10 stars for service if I could. Our server, Patrick, was wonderful. He was very attentive and made sure we were comfortable and happy. The only real downside we find with this lovely restaurant is the volume of music which is too loud for us to enjoy a special meal. As we were leaving, we asked if they would seat us, next time, at a table at the periphery of the room instead of at the balcony where the noise from the ground floor drifts up to the second floor. One surprise was that our entrées arrived just slightly warm and not hot as we anticipated. The meal was still delicious so this wasn't negative but yes, a surprise.

Appalling behavior by the front door valet. Old man was calling us a jackass for asking questions about parking. We decided to go to Izzy’s. Nobody should support this business. I can’t believe this

Front door valet old guy was calling guest names. Pretty disrespectful. Not sure how to approach. I would not recommend this place to anyone with this kind of staff at the front.

Celebrated my wife’s birthday here and had an amazing experience. I specifically want to point out how the staff is very attentive and flexible. They definitely deserve their Michelin Star.

More care and attention to the quality of the dishes is needed. The cheese puffs, for example, which is a Daniel Bolud start, was served cold, instead of warm. The tuna sashimi lacked flavoring and the risotto was truly tasteless, served in a puddle of oil. Not the level of food that warrants a michelin star.

Perfect place to celebrate a special event. The service was outstanding. The food superb. The wine list long and deep. I wish I had known about this place earlier ... we would have made it a regular. But now we can!

Wonderful birthday dinner at Selby's! Such a great value for a Michelin starred restaurant with lovely ambience, service and food. Our kids are well-behaved but it's not often that they're allowed in Michelin-caliber restaurants so it was nice that we could bring the whole family here. We'll be back!

I have been to Selby's now 5x in the last few years. Including as part of a Christmas office dinner for 15. Love the service, staff and decor. Food has consistently gone downhill. The last three times the steak has been truly awful. You need to check with your service provider on steak and all of your beef. 2x ago had the Wellington that was far too salty. Last night there wer3 3 of us dining - the bill was $1,300 had a nice bottle of Frech wine, but the quality of the rib eye was so bad it ruined my night. JW

Every dish tastes terribleCan anyone believe that picture 1 is a main course? Salty pickled riceThe salad is also the most unpleasant salad I have ever eaten. Not to mention the bitterness, it is also topped with 20-year-old vinegar, which is bitter and sour.The steak Wellington was also unpalatable and not as good as the stuffed dumplings.
