The restaurant is a bit hidden away and perhaps undiscovered. The food was unique and quite tasty. The service was personal and quick. Would recommend to any one looking for something out of the ordinary chain restaurants.

The Berkshire Room needs to have a Happy Hour to get customer into the door. Need healthier appetizer choices!

It was our first time at selva. The music was great especially if people like reggaeton or Latino music. We surprisingly went Thursday night which they have happy hour from 9 pm - 12 am. We tried various drinks and appetizers. All were great. Great staff and service 🔥 They have a fire area outside plus a great view of a cinema on the side. I definitely will recommend this place to others. I am definetly coming back to this spot 💯
