    Food and service were outstanding. Pisco sour was the best as was the sea bass entree and the ahi tuna. Really top notch. Will be returning.

    We had a wonderful, romantic experience dining at Selva last night. The beef empanadas were absolutely delicious and our steaks were perfectly cooked. Both meals were beautifully presented and the accoutrements were uniquely flavorful. To top it off, our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable. We will be back soon!

    Abnormal and Exceptional! Abnormal in the gallery quality art of the presentation as well as the creative menu offerings. Exceptional in the flavors that the chef creates. The quality of the service matched the food.

    The mixto seviche appetizer was loaded with fish and seafood and was wonderful. The miso chilean seabass was the best I have ever had. The service was friendly, helpful and efficient. Luckily we were in the 'red room' next to the bar so the noise level which can sometimes be overwhelming, was moderate. Am looking forward to returning soon.

    I've never had a bad meal or experience at Selva Grill. It's a little on the pricey side, but the food is consistently good. I do think it's time they made some changes to the menu as they've had the same menu for a quite a long time and it's nice to experience some newer options. It's always a favorite of mine to take out of town guests.

    The meat was tough and the chimichurri was watery. Not worth $53 per plate
