My fish was cooked to absolute perfection and my husband loved his steak. They even brought a beautiful dessert out with a candle. Our waiter (I forgot his name, but he is British) was very enthusiastic and gave us some great recommendations. We also shared funny jokes which made our evening even more fun. It's not inexpensive, but the food is SO good that it is totally worth it for a nice evening out.\n\nThe only downside was that we were seated right next to the bar — with just a sheer curtain separating us — and it was very loud.\n\nWe will definitely be back the next time we're in Laguna Beach!","submittedDateTime":"2024-05-31T04:17:32Z","rating":{"overall":5,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"nickname":"BethJ","isVip":null,"profileColor":"PLUM","initials":"BJ","simpleModerationState":"APPROVED","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"highlights":[{"startIndex":384,"endIndex":389,"__typename":"ReviewHighlight"}],"__typename":"DishReview"},{"reviewId":"OT-108901-2109930237-110032699401","text":"We had a nice dinner at Selanne’s Steak Tavern.

We shared mushrooms (spectacular) and asparagus (needed more char). I must add that we had scallops for an appetizer, quite possibly the best I’ve ever had, definitely need to try. I brought my own wine (Saxum) and was impressed with their wine list too! But since it was our first time, couldn’t chance a bad wine with a proper steak. $45 corkage is a little steep, but remember where you are. I also had the Better Together cocktail while the wine was breathing a bit, very tasty cocktail! Cheers to everyone that made our Easter dinner so very special. Thanks!

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.

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.

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.
