    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.

    Had such a lovely visit with a group of six for dinner. Our server was wonderful, and delightfully formal in the way that a classic restaurant like this be. The food was all amazing, and everyone left very happy and full. The only note is that food took a while between courses, which might bother some people, but it worked in our favour to catch up with each other and not feel rushed. A really lovely place for a nice holiday dinner, and the ambiance was perfect for this time of year.

    Dined here twice recently for brunch. This review is the combined product of the two experiences. Liked the bistro vibe and the food was very good but not great so no 5 stars, in particular given the typically high prices most restaurants are charging. The service was good the first time but not so good the second time, and both times drink orders were forgotten for one of our party. The 2nd visit the service was somewhat slow (it was busy) and not up to their standards. Drinks were good but again, pricey (the $19 "breakfast martini" is served in glasses I think they got from a Barbie play set). Always a good spot but at these prices it is not a good value.
