Delicious food and nice atmosphere. Love the staff. One gentleman server is a bit too much though. His enthusiasm is a bit overwhelming and his questions are at times silly. Instead of asking our opinion on the dish he would return with “is it fantastic”, “is it fabulous”?? These questions leave little room for an honest answer. He is a bit loud and while we know he means well, I think he is trying too hard.

My siblings and I decided to try this place out, and Selva did not disappoint! The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, fast and funny. The drinks are amazing, and the presentation was on point. The food was so flavorful that we had to keep ordering more! This place has sharable sizes so you can try more, especially in a group. To finish our experience, we shared dessert, which satisfied our chocolate cravings. We will be back to bring our parents! Thank you for exceeding our expectations

Had a great date night here! The drinks were on point and the food was amazing. The bottle prices for wine are way more fair at this establishment than other places I’ve visited. The ambiance was perfect for a night out with friends or a date. The decor was interesting and everything was appealing to the eye.

food is overpriced for the quantity provided to their customers… was told it was family style yet the 40$ pork chop I ordered was barely enough to feed me, let alone myself and my partner. top that off with staggered dish arrivals, our groups meals were all cold by the time everyone was served!

Our first time to Selva and it was incredible! The service was friendly and wonderful! The chef was amazing, came and spoke to us and was very personable! Atmosphere lovely and chill! The food was amazing and the flavours were incredible! The chicken wings were the best we have ever had! The cocktails were also amazing! I would recommend Selva to anyone, we spent our Christmas Eve here and it made our evening! Thank you Selva!

The acoustics really need some work. We could not have a conversation because sound was bouncing off the walls ceilings and floors with nothing to soften it. Very very loud. Not a pleasant dinner even though the service was friendly and the food was pretty good. I had chicken which was way too smoky for my taste. The yuca fries were good I thought. The greens were good but, I thought there was not very much on the beans and rice plate for the price.

Food was amazing! Can’t wait to come back and try more. Our waiter had great suggestions, but he sort of disappeared once we got our food. Highly recommend the pork chop.

Phenomenal food and very friendly staff! Was very easy to identify the gluten free food items on the menu (basically the whole thing lol). The restaurant is designed to be family style dishes which is a rarity for gluten free food, so it was fun to get the social aspect of it as well! I had a delicious cocktail, with pork belly, chaufa, and their scallops, and I would recommend each of these, as it seems you really can’t go wrong!
