We’re visiting the area and felt like we discovered the best of Scottsdale

Sel is a charming small restaurant with excellent cuisine. They also have very interesting special drinks. They were a little short of staff so we had a bit of a wait to get in, but it was worth it in the end.

My wife and I both had steaks which were excellent cuts and very nicely prepared. Our wine was excellent. We will definitely return and highly recommend the restaurant.

The restaurant features both indoor and outdoor dining.

Good food, horrible kitchen timing. It took us three hours to eat a five course meal. We want very long stretches between courses, was not impressed.

My wife and I had the tasting menu with wine pairing for our anniversary. every course was spectacular. Server and staff were wonderful and willing to switch out a course or two of the prix-fixe to our liking. Can not recommend highly enough!

Ordered the dumplings and pork buns. They were not great. We decided to not order anything else based on these two dishes. It was my husbands birthday and the best part of the experience was the free strawberry dessert. Also Joel was so nice and attentive. Our waiter on the other hand was in a very bad mood.

It is a nice restaurant. The service is outstanding. I went with the tasting menu and liked all the dishes but one. Everyone I was with enjoyed their meals. Would recommend to anyone but I would always suggest sitting outside if weather permits.

We ate dinner outdoors, everything was fabulous from start to finish. Hoke gave amazing service and food was delicious.

Wedding anniversary

This place was quaint and romantic. The food was excellent! We did the tasting menu. They are flexible with requests. Friendly, knowledgeable, kind...I can’t say enough good things. We didn’t have dinner, we had an experience! We will definitely be back!

The food is outstanding, although we miss the steak tartare. The service is great. Wonderful experience.

One of the best dining experiences you could have. Celebrated my wife's BDay and got major points!

Our favorite Scottsdale restaurant! Always on our list during our monthly trip.

Amazing service. Full of hospitality .

Great food, and great service. Hernan was our server/food guide and was absolutely a pleasure to interact with.

Good as advertised and good options for vegetarians as well.

Such a beautiful meal. The tasting menu is the only way to go. Don’t go unless you want to dine as it’s was a 3 hour experience. We loved every minute! Can’t wait to go back!

Excellent service, with friendly wait staff making menu and wine selection suggestions

Service was very poor. Over charged for wine and in general not anywhere near the service you would expect at this caliber restaurant. Sever did not give us information about menu. Food was very good. But, will not be going back.

Every part of our experience at Sel was exceptional. From the moment we checked in and were immediately greeted with, "Happy Anniversary", to the amazing food, service, ambience - flawless all around. We will come back to Sel again and again.

Great food. Lovely area. Cool music. Awesome cocktails.

From the start until we left, just a great experience.

We tried the Chef's Tasting Menu...5 separate courses that did not disappoint. Each course seemed to play perfectly on the last and set up the next.

We happened to get there near the same night that they were rolling out a new cocktail list and those didn't disappoint either...yum!

This is a must-go!

Our server had an arrogant attitude. It ruined our dining experience.

Restaurant seems to be functioning well. Small kitchen driven by great chef held up well. His wife working the front is a delight. Will definitely go back.

Excellent service combined with great flavors delivered a wonderful time for our anniversary.

Beautiful setting. Outdoor dining is cozy and so nice. Scallops were amazing and tasting menu was wonderful.

Fun experience!

Went here for a celebration of life/paying off student loan debt. I've never tried a tasting menu before and talked my brother and friend into joining me. It was amazing! My brother can't handle the texture of scallops, still tried one, and said the flavors were great. Definitely coming back if I ever have a big enough celebration

Wonderful meal. Great service, food and ambiance. Highly recommended!

Outstanding as usual. One of our best in the area.

This is easily the best meal I've ever had. Every single dish on the tasting menu is perfectly curated and executed to be a culinary triumph. The scallops aguachile? Amazing. Tandoori lamb? Phenomenal. And the signature dessert?! Holy cow. Do yourself and visit this absolute gem of a restaurant! The outdoor seating is great, there are plenty of COVID precautions, and you'll be glad you did yourself this favor. After 2020? You deserve it!

Loved Sel had the tasting menu with the wine pairing and it was amazing the waitstaff was also great and everything came out right at the right time. Would recommend to anyone wanting to taste new and exciting flavors!

The Chef's Tasting Menu was fantastic, according to my partner who eats meat. I felt the Vegetarian Tasting Menu left something to be desired, with one of the dishes being cooked improperly (tempura squash, squash was hard and not cooked through all the way) and another dish having an awful presentation (the taste did not make up for the way it looked either). We added the wine pairing with the tasting menu and I felt each course came out way too quickly, I didn't really have time to sip and savor my wine pairing with each dish. These complaints probably sound picky but for the price of the meal, it was not worth it.

We had an exceptional dining experience at Sel. We chose to have the prefix menu and the wine pairing. The portions were perfect and the wine choices were a perfect pairing! The service and hospitality was impeccable. This is now one of my favorite places in Scottsdale to dine. We look forward to making another reservation very soon!

Fantastic food and a very friendly staff! I couldn't have been happier.

We came here expecting a lot - but we were disappointed. The restaurant up charges every little thing, subbing entrees with specials, etc. When picking out a wine, instead of just giving us a taste of what we were interested in, our waiter tried to upsell us again. We ended up with what we had initially wanted, just 4 tastes later. The food itself was not consistent. First course the passion fruit is way too strong, second course octopus was a letdown, but the lamb vindaloo was delicious. Steak and foie gras was excellent.

We didn’t know what to expect but were completely blown away. Wonderful in every aspect from service to ambiance to presentation to the quality and taste of the food and wine pairings- definitely do the chef’s tasting menu!

Excellent interesting food. Able to work with food allergies. Have eaten here twice and will be back again.

Girlfriends out for a nice dinner during Covid...

Got the tasting menu. Excellent. Great service

Try the 5 course meals they were both fabulous. We are sorry we did not do the wine pairings offered with the meals. Next time we will, for sure.
