    Everything at Selva from the food to drinks to service is very good. But the Selva Caesar Salad is by far the best salad I've ever had. It's crazy that we go to Selva and both my wife and I are excited about a salad. But it's that good.

    This remains our absolute favorite restaurant anywhere in the world. We had Tuna trio, Seabass, mousse in chocolate shell and my husband had paella. Every bite was scrumptious with the best flavoring. Our pear and Manhattan martinis were also fabulous. The waiter was beyond the best as we celebrated year 55 of engagement. He recognized it, had a card and rose for us and a free dessert. What a wonderful dining experience.

    Would rate even higher if I could. This place is hands down one of the best in Florida. I had the sesame encrusted Ahi Tuna and I’m still swooning thinking about it. My husband had the Chilean Sea Bass which was equally divine. Run. Don’t walk. Make that reservation.

    We always make a stop at selva when in town. This time it was probably our last. Awful dinner experience. Waited for over an hour and a half for dinner with other tables getting food before us. The waitress was nice but could only say she wasn’t sure why it was happening. After the third table that came in after us got their dinner we talked to the manager who finally got the food out however really didn’t care at all about the situation. Food wasn’t as good as usual either. A big disappointment.
