    It was my birthday dinner and from the hostess desk until our walk out after the meal, service was outstanding! All staff acknowledged me and were attentive to our group. From apps (amazing variety and so plentiful, and beyond delicious!! ) to mains (seabass, tuna, salmon- all exquisite presentation and very ample portions) to the yummy desserts ( made.more special with candle and birthday greetings), this was a winner dinner. We have been to Selva before and will be back. Service is excellent. Prices are fair for the quality and quantity of foods presented. The restaurant has a great vibe.

    Food and service were outstanding. Pisco sour was the best as was the sea bass entree and the ahi tuna. Really top notch. Will be returning.

    We had a wonderful, romantic experience dining at Selva last night. The beef empanadas were absolutely delicious and our steaks were perfectly cooked. Both meals were beautifully presented and the accoutrements were uniquely flavorful. To top it off, our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable. We will be back soon!

    Abnormal and Exceptional! Abnormal in the gallery quality art of the presentation as well as the creative menu offerings. Exceptional in the flavors that the chef creates. The quality of the service matched the food.
