    The ambiance and our drinks were fantastic and our food was good. We went for brunch to celebrate my dad’s birthday and he had a great time. Our server made sure to come over and ask which dessert we’d like when he wasn’t there so it would be a surprise. We will be going back for dinner!! Thanks for giving us a great experience!

    We arrived at 11:20am for n 11:30am reservation. The host said the dining room is closed. However I was able to make a reservation from 9am onwards. When we were seated at 11:30am we’re were 1/5 tables in the space. Seems like an odd guest experience to have us wait 15 minutes before seating us when the restaurant was empty. A policy review may be needed with your workforce.

    Our waiter Sebastian was awesome ! Went for a family birthday dinner. Firstly the freshly baked brioche bread and butter , hot out of the oven and simply delectable ! We ordered an extra loaf because it was so light, fluffy and amazing. Four of us had the steak frites, which were each perfectly cooked as ordered. The peppercorn jus was lovely; one person had the boeuf bourginion which was also yummy and perfect on a cold winter night. The restaurant had the right amount of patrons where the noise level was perfect and not overwhelming as it can get sometimes when its packed. Loved the atomosphere. Deserts chosen were the lemon tart, creme brulee and they were all very tasty and perfect yummy ! We've been coming for years and Le Select never disappoints, would definitely recommend them. Thank you for such a lovely evening out.
