    Dined here twice recently for brunch. This review is the combined product of the two experiences. Liked the bistro vibe and the food was very good but not great so no 5 stars, in particular given the typically high prices most restaurants are charging. The service was good the first time but not so good the second time, and both times drink orders were forgotten for one of our party. The 2nd visit the service was somewhat slow (it was busy) and not up to their standards. Drinks were good but again, pricey (the $19 "breakfast martini" is served in glasses I think they got from a Barbie play set). Always a good spot but at these prices it is not a good value.

    I’ve always enjoyed dining at your restaurant, but I wanted to share feedback on a disappointing experience I had recently. I ordered the trout dish, but unfortunately, it was excessively oily, covered in butter and oil to the point where it was inedible. I’ve always appreciated the quality of your food, which is why I was so surprised by this experience. I hope this can be addressed to ensure the same high standards I’ve come to expect. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
    Le Sélect BistroResponded 4 days ago
    Dear Lea, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I’m truly sorry to hear about your recent experience with the trout dish, as it does not reflect the high standards we strive to maintain at Le Select. We deeply value your continued support and are disappointed to have let you down on this occasion. Your feedback is essential, and I will personally address this with our kitchen team to ensure such issues are prevented moving forward. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back and restore your trust in us. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at Le Select, so I can assist with your next reservation. Sincerely, Callum Heald General Manager, Le Select Bistro

    We arranged a group of 14 for cocktails in the bar area followed by a family-style dinner thereafter. Reservations Manager, Valeriia was outstanding from the first call and email to arrange the event. Highly responsive in her communications, sensitive to the meal preferences of our guests and attentive to curating a memorable evening. Bartender Ewan and Server Brent ensured fantastic mixology and dining experiences. Kudos as well to the Chef and Sommelier. We will certainly be back and highly recommend your next group evening experience at Le Select!

    I dine often at Le Select. And the food is usually very good to outstanding. However for the first time the meat was below average. I do hope it is a one time fluke; as Le Select is one of my favourite places.
    Le Sélect BistroResponded on December 3, 2024
    Dear Sufian, Thank you for your feedback and for being such a loyal guest of Le Select. I’m sorry to hear that the meat didn’t meet our usual high standards during your recent visit. We strive for excellence in every dish, and I regret that we fell short on this occasion. I appreciate your understanding and hope it was indeed a one-time fluke. Your trust means a lot to us, and we’re committed to ensuring your next visit is back to the outstanding experience you’ve come to expect. Warm regards, Callum Heald General Manager, Le Select
