Best Lunch Restaurants in Lakewood Ranch

Four of us dined and everyone really liked what they ordered. The arancini is awesome! Two of us had veal marcella, one person had Italian wedding soup, and one person had bolognese. Service was top notch as well. We can’t wait to go back!

A pure joy to dine here on Christmas Eve. Family run with a sense of sharing their French traditions. Every plate served shows the attention of people who care. Festive, joyous and soulful. A wonderful experience that we’ve enjoyed for almost a decade.

Christmas Eve afternoon dinner. Food was exceptional. We all had filets and they were cooked to perfection. Shared the meatball appetizer and Caesar salad, both were very good also. Our server was very attentive . Only downfall was our after dinner latte’s were ice cold. We didn’t complain as it was very busy, but our server noticed they were untouched and removed them from the check. An enjoyable holiday with family!

As usual, our overall experience was top quality — food, service (we loved Juan), ambience. Unexpectedly, we had an extra special time. It was our anniversary and, unbeknownst to us beforehand, Selva added a couple of extras to our experience that made the evening that more special to us. I’d recommend Selva to most anyone. Favorites for us are their Caesar and House Salads, Skirt Steak and, my personal favorite, their Rack of Lamb, all with Selva’s special herbs, spices and sauces. A Real Treat!

We were looking for a unique restaurant close to I-75, for the drive home from St. Petersburg to Naples. How fortunate that we found Mademoiselle Paris. The escargot was some of the best we’ve had, and the duck breast was absolute perfection. The service was friendly and attentive, and made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Highly recommend.
