Selva Grill has been our favorite restaurant for many years and they never disappoint. The food and service is of a consistent high level and we love the ambiance and the decor. Simply outstanding.

Food was not cooked properly Like the over all restaurant but food in my case was partly under cooked & partly overcooked. Scallopes under cooked Risotto over cooked

They did a great job, surprising us by celebrating a birthday with a rose and a complementary dessert.

What an amazing, consistent restaurant! The food is amazing and the service is excellent!! A shout out to the hostesses as they remember regulars and address you as Mr. and Mrs. How refreshing! You can never go wrong at Selva. For all you visitors to Sarasota, it is a “must-do”!!

Long one of our favorites in downtown Sarasota. Each time we bring a new guest from out of the area, our guests are struck by the quality of the food and service. Last night was more of the same, and that is a very good thing.

I order the sea bass often. It was bland this time and my guest thought so, too. Didn't like that flan thing either

Selva has been consistently excellent and is one of the places to go to in Sarasota. The food has a special way of surprising the taste buds that is well worth the adventure. Add the Spanish wines as part of the experience!

Love Selva Grill! Our server, Eric, was delightful, pace was perfect as we were going to Van Wezel and made it happen. Our food was delicious, wish I had brought home my leftovers for today. Plus, the presentation was amazing! You have artists in the kitchen! We will be back!

Food and drinks were amazing but the place needs an upgrade inside! The ambiance does not match the caliber of the food, which is fantastic and elevated. They are decorating with old leather couches and burgundy crinkle curtain- so much potential!!

Will return for service and food, which we've Wild ceviche  Rib spring roll  Crab cake  Parihuela  Chick spring roll All are delicious, especially the crab cake, and appetizingly presented. The Oxford Landing and Broadbent are similar in taste and yummy. The Schott Zwiesel glasses have water stains. The on-the-house cancha corn kennels, plantain, and green sauce are delicious: thank you. We pass by this Peruvian restaurant many times and have no desire to go in because it looks dark. And it's dark. Fake orchid in the bathroom. Our server is a middle-aged lady who's the best, appears and disappears on the dot.

Delightful dinner at Selva. The ceviche is outstanding. We tried the sampler if three types. I would be happy to go back just for ceviche! We ordered Lamb and Duck. Both were artfully presented and perfectly prepared. A surprise birthday dessert was delicious and so appreciated.

I ordered the Skirt Steak and substituted Truffle Chive Risotto for the plantains which was a superior choice. It was all delicious and presented beautifully. My friend had the Malbec Braised Short ribs and said they were perfect. Our server was excellent and made great recommendations.
