    I cannot sing the praises of this restaurant enough. The service was outstanding, and the staff worked well as a team, with management adding just the right touch without being overbearing. Our server was patient, kind, knowledgeable and provided an amazing experience, as my parents enjoy dining out and this exceeded their expectations when I came to visit them and go out for a family meal I wish I could remember our servers neme to publicly give him the accolade. The coq au vin, beef bourgingon and duck were all done to perfection. The desserts were delicious!and they have oysters Chef Courtney ( I believe that was the chef the Sunday we went) and the kitchen team are phenomenal. The decor of this restaurant is a throwback to the true heritage of Toronto, as this estate house is magnificently preserved to take you back in time to when the Gooderham family owned it. Overall, a beautiful, flawless experience from food to service to decor and ambience. Kudos to the staff at Maison Selby for an incredible evening. Thank you for giving us a fantastic experience we will treasure.Maison Selby has a grandeur other restaurants cannot emulate. One of the best dining experiences Toronto has to offer. All the best to The Maison Selby team for 2025!

    Great food and service! Delicious . The decor however is a little tired and the lighting is not attractive ( bit too glaring) so it’s a place for a local meal, not a business dinner or lunch.
