    Our server, Raphael, was above and beyond one of the best servers that has ever crossed my many dining experiences. He made the event a pleasure with his informative suggestions to the exceptional menu.

    Our evening at Selanne's was wonderful! Our waiter Dimitri was very friendly and informative, and the staff all worked together. We asked to share our dishes, and they were more than happy to and brought us separate plates. We had the sun- dried tomato ravioli, the fresh bread loaf with special butters, the wedge salad, the 12 oz Filet mignon, and a baked potato. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Service was great.

    Our food and our server were fantastic. Unfortunately the prices won’t allow us to come very often, but overall it was a very nice evening.

    We had a wonderful time celebrating an anniversary, and the gesture of a handwritten note card was amazing. The ambience was beautiful as well, and the food was superb. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great place to go eat next time you are in Laguna . I would like to see Temmu there as well 😁 cheers

    First time at Selanne and we will be back! All around fantastic evening out with the family. Has signature cocktails, wine, steaks and halibut - all wonderful. Sides were to die for. Top it off with beautiful ambiance and great service, we fully enjoyed our evening.

    The service is excellent. The food however was not worth the money. 2 ribeyes and both lacked flavor and depth. My finance’s steak had a few pieces that were inedible. The pasta in the Mac n cheese was undercooked. The broccolini was soaked in low quality chili oil. The only thing that I truly enjoyed was the thyme bread and the beer. Not worth the money, don’t really understand how this place got onto the Michelin guide.
