Selva Grill never disappoints!! Food is reliably delicious and beautifully presented. Our server, Alexis, was very knowledgeable, attentive and delightful. We have been going to Selva for over 20 years and always look forward to returning. It is one of Sarasotas most iconic dining venues.

I find Selva Grill to be consistently excellent regarding food and service. However, our group of eight could only converse with the person on either side of them. It was impossible to hear anyone else at our table due to the high noise level in the restaurant. Would not recommend for a large group for this reason.

This was our first time back in about two years. We dined at Selva regularly over many years since they opened and the food was always superb. Today it was much below par. Cocktails and service were still excellent.
