    Food, and service was great. Only bad thing was the noise from the "festival" on Main Street outside.

    It took a very long time for us to get our food, that’s why I didn’t give you 5 stars. We had friends with us and were embarrassed.

    Our second visit and sat outside on covered patio, which was nice. Our server, Stephanie, was friendly and attentive. We loved the short rib spring rolls and a special sea bass cake was also good. We split the filet, which included au gratin potatoes and asparagus. Potatoes good. Asparagus too large and fibrous. Steak was ok, more the cut than the prep. Overall, we would come back.

    We frequently dine at Selva's and are guaranteed a wonderful meal. The mixto ceviche is a must have! Any steak or lamb is cooked to perfection as are the seafood selections. Portions are very ample. Desserts are worth every calorie. They also get high ratings for beautiful presentation.
