Selby House Café by Michael’s On East

if as a poor European you're visiting the us its hard to find the good food given the abundance of fast food which is too greasy, too salty or way too sugary.here at the selby cafe we found excellent sandwiches. we had a salad and a sandwich with a teatrue its pricey, but its good taste you get for it

Kid-friendliness: our son had the pizzahe was very happy with it

If you pull up the 1st menu on Google it's complex wrong, so make sure you have the correct one. I would wait a while to go so they can get the bugs out.

Pretty cool when you consider you are eating at the original home of the estate. The pizza and the grilled cheese both were great.

They don't know how to make a good latte coffee. Otherwise, very nice place.

How is MOE allowed serve such sub par food year after year?.. the gardens could do so much better. There is nothing creative or freshly made- the presentation is pathetic. The drink self serve area is always dirty and the ambiance is sad inside and the outside is in need of attention and refinement. I don’t get it - and the truck was even worse.MOE also owns the « ballroom » which needs a renovation. All so dated, frumpy and tired-

The menu is limited but tasty. The ladies at the counter were kind and professional. Good for a quick break from the garden visit.

Good place to get a cool drink. the food has high prices for what you get.

This cafe is in the Selby’s house, inside the Selby Botanical gardens. The house was built by the Selbys in 1921 and became their residence. Upon her death in 1971, she willed it to be a botanical garden, which opened in 1975.The cafe has indoor and out seatings. Part of outdoor is on a terrace and part is under the huge tree. Dropping from the birds in the normal.Self service. Decent food, on the expensive side. $60 for a beer, a Chardonnay, a wrap and the Scottish salmon salad. The salad has baby kale, roasted Brussel sprouts, toasted walnuts, a few pieces of shredded parmesan, dried cranberries. The lemon champagne vinaigrette is delicious.

First of all, I’m not sure how to make a review for the food truck because it seems there is no page or website available for it. The food was good, but the skinny older man with a ponytail was EXTREMELY rude to every customer that ordered. He complained and cussed about customers to their face and also to the cook. He immediately had a nasty attitude with us and overheard a couple complaining about his attitude as well. “Legendary hospitality” is kind of a joke.

Pleasant eatery in comfy, gorgeous surroundings. Wait staff short, but those who work there are delighful.
