    The decor for Valentine’s Day was top tier. Honestly, surprised at the lengths they had gone to make the place romantic. Our server Mac was super attentive even with a full house. The food was yummy. My girlfriend loved it so I guess that’s all that really matters.

    Thank you for dining with us. We are lucky to have Mac on our Team. Look forward to hosting you again soon.

    This was our second visit to Selvin’s. Our first experience was much better. The service was severely lacking for a high end restaurant that was not operating close to capacity. We had to ask whether there were any specials not in the menu. The soup arrived lukewarm yet the server warned about the hot plate. Our salad plate and soup bowl were left on the table after our entrees were served and remained almost until we were done dining. A beverage refill was brought for one of us without asking, the other was never asked if a refill was desired. The food, aside from the soup, was pretty good. However, the service issues would make us rethink visiting here again. There are just too many good dining options to settle for a mediocre experience.

    Great food and great place. Service was slow and it was not very busy. Staff was friendly, doesn’t seem like management is aware of service speeds.

    This place is about the best place in Ventura I have been so far. Was a little disappointed in the request I wanted for seating, but the rest made up for it. I loved how your not rushed, server let us eat slow and the food was awesome. A great experience and will definitely be going back.

    The quality of our filet mignons was really poor. It looked like pot roast. I really want Selvins to be good because I love the ambiance, but I’m not sure we’ll be back after this experience.

We appreciate your feedback and will definitely use it to improve. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance to impress you in the future. Selvins, The Management Team
