    I went with a friend that I haven't seen in a while. We both love trying new places so we picked the Seldon Standard. The food and the service was beyond amazing! Our hostess and server were friendly and made very good food recommendations. We tried six different dishes, and loved every single one of them! We were so full but kept eating anyway. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were extraordinary. Thank you all, we had an amazing experience from the time we walked in, to the time we left.

    It was our first time dining here. Let me just say our service was excellent, the halibut was the best I ever had. The ambience was amazing and our server went above and beyond. We were originally seated by a party that was enjoying themselves quite loudly but one mention to the server and she quickly accommodated us by moving us to a more secluded location. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. My party of 3 was extremely satisfied.

    We had an amazing time. Desiree was our server and she was fabulous. She suggested the pumpkin espresso martini and old fashioned. I had a fabulous vegan scallop entree. It was a great spot to unwind and catch up after the end of the auto show.
