Our service was great. She was helpful and checked on us often. 4 of us for dinner. I had the Soprano (Tony’s favorite) but I left out olives and spinach. No flavor. Yes…spicy. Would not recommend. Lasagna was very good. Blackened salmon fettuccine very good. If I were to compare here to Spago’s in Canada, I would say Spago’s is better but this comes in a close 2nd. I would have liked my pasta a bit more Al dente.

We had a wonderful dinner at Selden Standard. Ahsley our waitress was very attentive as were the servers who brought out each dish. Explaining what each one was and confirming that there was none of the allergy items I had mention. The food was delicious and I loved the small plates so that we could try everything. Will definitley be back.

The seafood never disappoints. we decided to go with many appetizers to taste everything. Started with oysters, yummy. Then lobster bisque and Boston Clam Chowder. Calamari was next , crab cakes and AHI Tuna. We finished with a creme brule and key lime pie. Everything was so good! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Our waitress was amazing, taking care to make sure we had everything we wanted and taking care with a smile and promptness. The way she ordered our meal was spot on, letting us eat our soup and salad and then ordering our main course. She should be commended highly by you and she is by us as well.
