    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.
