    Everything from the food to the service to the presentation and the drinks/mocktail options were all exquisite. I'm currently a pregnant vegan, which is not always the easiest when dining out. But I left feeling full, satisfied, and well taken care of. I was really impressed with the plato vegetariano and the blackberry bramble as a mocktail. We did a double date here and it was the perfect ambiance. Loved sitting on the outside patio. Highly recommend for a nice evening out!

    The food and service were exceptional and surprisingly fast. Michael (Mike) was our server and was extremely attentive and funny. It was very loud and we didn't love the casual dress by some patrons, but not much can be done about that these days. Overall, we had a great time and would go back!

    Never fails to be a delight of food experiences. We’ve lived in a lot of countries and this is such a fun place to love Latin excellence.

    Great Christmas Eve experience. Hostess and wait staff were very attentive and served each course as expected. Selva Classic (Dirty Martini) was perfect. All meals were great. I had polpo and olivo appetizer and Marin Sea Bass which were delicious.

    My only regret is that I don’t live closer so that I could experience this fabulous restaurant more often. Glenda took great care of us, and we sat outside on a beautiful night. I highly recommend the scallops, Caesar salad, the tuna entree and the skirt steak with plantains. This was a special anniversary for us, and the dessert- a chocolate confection of mousse with a hard chocolate shell- was divine. Thank you, Selva, for a memorable evening!
