    Absolutely perfect in every way. We were 3 couples and asked for a round table and accomodated. We’re seniors, hard of hearing, challenging and had the most accommodating server named Greg who was unbelievably cordial and with a sense of humor. All in all, a great dining experience, food, service, atmosphere, comfort. Thank you C.T. - we’re in the ‘hood and happy to frequent!

    As a hotel guest at the Canopy Hotel, which is just around the corner, Maison Selby was very convenient for starts. The interior was nice and neat and interesting, being it is a historical building. We dine in the bar area, by the large windows overlooking the neighborhood, very conformable. Service was great, it is nice to dine where the whole staff seem to be happy and outgoing.
