   I booked a reservation exactly 2 months in advance, right when the exact date I wanted was available on OpenTable. I was added notes that it was for my boyfriend's 40th birthday (milestone bday!), and requested to be seated somewhere intimate, preferably a booth. On the date of the reservation, we were running half an hour late. We called to let them know, and Josh on the phone was super kind and accommodating. Complimentary valet parking REALLY helped when we arrived. One of the reasons I chose Selby's is because the ambience looked lovely from the photos. Lemme tell you, the vibes are way better in person. I really enjoyed art deco details such as the lamps, and we were seated in a cozy booth right by the fireplace on the first floor. The bathrooms are also beautiful with lovely lighting. Highly recommend everything we ate! Appetizers: CHESTNUT VELOUTÉ DIVER SCALLOP VÉRONIQUE Mains: PETITE FILET, 6 OZ HONEY LACQUER DUCK BREAST Dessert: HACHIYA PERSIMMON PUDDING 2x Our waitress Serene is SO SWEET. She was very attentive to us all night, and I enjoyed talking to her, and learned that she's a fellow Taiwanese, so it was really lovely to get to learn about her background, what brought her here to the US, and her kids. I tipped her well, and we felt lucky she was our server. Tipped Alex the valet driver as well. Right when we stepped out, we were pleasantly surprise our car was already right in front waiting for us. We chatted with him for a bit, and learned he's from Hong Kong. He was awesome! This experience at Selby's was worth every penny. Highly recommend coming here for special occasions. Definitely want to come back for other occasions, and even check out the bar!

   We had the pre-fixe menu The diver scallop and tuna tartar were delicious. We ordered the white truffle pasta. The sauce overpowered the white truffle unfortunately. The chicken two preparations with black truffle sauce, duck breast and lobster were excellent.

   I selected Selby’s to propose to my girlfriend. The service and food was amazing which made the evening absolutely perfect. The portions are meaningful and you feel there is a lot of love in these dishes. Plating was nice and it felt upscale but not snobby. Classy dining room decor to match the rest of the experience. Oh.. she said yes

   Loved the food, service and ambiance. All the extra up charges for certain items was excessive!! We don’t mind paying $125 for a prefix dinner but so many if the choices had add on up charge.

   Amazing food. All courses hit the mark, and a step above any of the same dishes you will find in 99% of restaurants out there. Service was amazing. Free valet. Highly recommended for special occasions. Suited to those who enjoy western cuisine.

   Our first time here and this place was highly recommended. You definitely did not disappoint! Food was excellent. Compliments to the chef!!! Superb service from Vicente and the somelier, my apologies I forgot his name. Hostess were welcoming. Just a reminder- please don’t wait for guests to ask for the bread. It should be automatically served after we place our orders. Thank you for making our friend’s 50th birthday special. See you again soon.

    Excellent service. Delicious food. Wagyu steak was disappointing. Quite tough. Dessert was tasty. We enjoyed the flan. Best I've ever had.
