    All food is bursting with flavour and there's some surprising combinations. Cocktails on the same level. Cozy atmosphere with good lighting. Highly recommended!

    I have truly grown to adore this place. Ate at the bar tonight - wonderful service, couldn't thank James enough for the delicious cocktail (white rum, tarragon, strawberry) and the food was superb.

    Excellent atmosphere. Loved the food and drinks as well. Lots of room for large groups. I felt like our server could have been around more but it was very busy at brunch. Great for vegetarians/vegans.

    The menu changes every few months. From this menu, the ricotta gnocchi and grilled scallops were delicious! 😋 The saffron pavlova was a disappointment 🤷🏾‍♀️. Ultimately I love this restaurant!

    Not the cheapest place but they care about detail serve interesting, creative dishes, have own baked bread and a nice atmosphere. Definitely stands out on the area! A good standard for sure!

    The best meal every time. Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu (even if you’re a picky eater like me, which makes no sense but is part of the magic).

    Oh, Selden, how I love you! I love that I can just ask the server to bring me delicious plates & that's what happens. Outstanding quality food, on point seasoning & extraordinary service. Thumbs up!

    Spanish fried rice was our favorite! The tuna crudo special for NYE was also delicious. Also loved the campfire sundae for those with a sweet tooth 😜

    The freshly prepared food is great and I love the atmosphere! A client introduced me to this place for lunch. I went back for dinner on my own and was very impressed.

    Seldon has an incredible wine list, for the price. Definitely spring for a Burgundy. Next time you come, bring some friends and book the chef's table!

    The lamb meatballs and the sweet potato ravioli - simply delightful! I don't usually smack when I eat, but the seasoning in the marinara sauce was tasty!

    Forgotten by the wait staff. They have a water waiter. I liked what I had, but the nouveau cuisine prices are a turn off.
