    Selanne Steak Tavern was recommended by our Realtor upon moving to South OC a couple of years ago. Finally went, and it didn't disappoint! Waitstaff were superb, and the food was phenomenal! We will be back.

    We had a great experience at the bar with Jared serving us! Great cocktails, excellent wine and food recommendations. We had the bread board, skirt steak, green beans, and the truffle Parmesan fries. All excellent!

    Service was great, selection very good but over all a solid dining experience but not worth the money. The dry aged bone in rib eye was thin. Veggies were good but fries were all stuck together in a blob. Oysters were not as described and seemed that they had opened earlier for service. Pace felt rushed.

    We went for opening at 5. We shared the wedge, filet and lobster tail along with the loaf of bread. Everything was delicious. The service was on point. We will definitely be coming back

    I hadn't been to Selanne Steak Tavern in 3 years and was happy to get a reservation and take some friends that had never been. The experience in the past had always been very good. I ended up being embarrassed that I brought company to the restaurant and will not be back. The service was atrocious. Several times we had to flag people to help us because our server would disappear for large periods of time. At one point we witnessed an argument between our server and another that had stepped in on a couple of occasions. While I cannot be sure that it was related to our table, it sure seemed like it was. The food was inconsistent and definitely not as good as I remembered it to be. I was shocked by what had become of a restaurant that I held in high regard and regretful that I brought friends.

    A fantastic experience. Charming location with history. Not a corporate steakhouse by any means. The food was a plus. Could not improve upon it and the service was impeccable. I haven’t had that attention to detail by a waiter in years. Overall, the experience was more than I could’ve ever have expected.

    Not what it used to be. Premium prices for so so food. Not going back. We used to love it. Servers couldn’t be nicer but even the service at the bar was lacking.
