    The meal and service were amazing. We had the Escargot and Foie Gras to start which were both beautifully presented and delicious. Then we had the Trout Meunière and Half Roasted chicken which so flavourful and delicious. We added Brussel sprouts which were the best I’ve ever had with a maple glaze, and Frites. For dessert we had a chocolate souffle which was beautiful and heavenly. We were celebrating a birthday and it was the perfect place. Highly recommend! Also if you love wine the have the longest wine list I’ve ever seen. It was literally a book.

    There’s not enough staff to handle this restaurant appropriately. Seems the wait staff was bussing their own tables which certainly gave them no time to be proper servers. It was too noisy to hear my companion. We joked that perhaps we needed to wear those cone collars for dogs to direct our voices across the small table. I remember when the food was good at this restaurant. Seems a thing of the past. We didn’t stay for dinner, but rather opted to leave after a drink and appetizer as we’d been there over an hour and our dinner order still had not been taken. I will not select Le Sélect Bistro in the future.

    Dear Lee, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m truly sorry your experience was disappointing and didn’t reflect our standards. I remember clearing your table and assisting with your bill that evening, and I regret that despite my apologies in person, we fell short of expectations. The holiday season brings an energetic atmosphere, and while we embrace the festive spirit, I understand how the noise and delays impacted your evening. Being so busy at this time of year is no excuse, and I appreciate your patience. Your feedback has been shared with our team as a reminder to maintain high standards, even during peak times. I hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide the experience you deserved. Callum Heald, General Manager

    The moule frites was so salty. Moule are naturally salty seafood and doesn’t need to put too much salt. The frites had too much salt and side orders from friends ordered were very salty as well. The chicken dish was not worthy for $36.00.

    The French onion soup was excellent! The burger was cold, salty and not worth it. The desert was so so... The place is very loud. The service was ok.

    The dining experience at Le Select was wonderful. The food was excellent, and the service was perfectly executed. Melanie, our server was both warm and so professional. She ensured that we finished our dinner on time to get to our show. It made for a perfect venue to celebrate with parents and kids alike.
