Best Fine Dining Restaurants in San Carlos

Truly a fantastic dinning experience. So wonderfully old school.

This place is a fine-dining gem (without the inflated prices of similar establishments). From the warm welcome of Carol to Chef Robert's bar-side interaction with the diners, the atmosphere was cosy and convivial, as if we were dining among friends and family. The dishes were creative and delicious, featuring quality, fresh ingredients that were not skimped on, all enhanced by the pretty tableware they were served in. While we enjoyed all the dishes, the standouts were the Abalone/Hokkaido Uni Chawanmushi and Sushi Mini Don. Based on personal tastes, we would have liked a bit more scallion in the A5 Wagyu Scallion Noodle, and a tad more smoke to the Fusion Sakura Masu Sahimi. Also suggest having a spoon to scoop up the Orange Crab goodness. Small but important detail that is much appreciated - hot tea was continuously topped up. A shout-out to Peter for the yummy chocolate-black sesame tart for my birthday. Thank you 808 Zone (and fellow diners) for a lovely evening. Wishing you continued success - we shall be sharing your address!

Overall an okay 1 star Michelin experience. The appetizers were fine.(7/10). The dessert were good, I loved it.(10/10) For the main course, I had a duck breast which was tasty but my wife didn't like her beef wellington as she tasted some beef tendons which very hard to chew.The restaurant has valet parking which is nice. If you like quiet, old money style restaurants, Selby's will be a good choice.

A delight to all five senses. Nothing else like this on the Peninsula. Bravo!
