    Everything about our experience was amazing! All 3 of us were very pleased with our meals, the service and ambience. The only thing i would complain about is that the restaurant did not open their doors till exactly 4 pm and kept many of us standing outside in the cold till 4 pm instead of waiting in the lobby and checking in!

    We always love going to Selva and this night did not disappoint! Glenda gave us the perfect amount of attention and helped us celebrate our anniversary! We loved our tuna ceviche, the salmon special was off the chart and the chocolate pot de creme was dreamy and perfect! Thanks for always making our nights at Selva Special!
