    Absolutely amazing!! Every single dish and cocktail was so good. Started with the scallop crudo, then had the mushroom croquettes and charred cabbage, and finally shared the Manitoba pickerel. Exceeded expectations. Super friendly servers as well!!

    Selia is such a welcoming restaurant with really great options for gluten-free food. My partner (who eats gluten) didn't realize his food was gluten-free. The staff are friendly, professional, kind, and incredibly accommodating. Alex was our server and made us laugh. She helped us through the menu and made sure we got exactly what we were craving. It was a really great experience. I can't wait to come back for one of the fun events that they put on and for a smoothie after a workout before then.

    This is a great place to go for lunch. The charred cauliflower is absolutely divine. My companion had the baked brie. Both plates were the perfect portion. Terrific value for price. The service was attentive but not overbearing. Birthday prosecco for the birthday person, an unexpected but delightful perk. Overall, a very good experience.
