Selby's

One Michelin star restaurant with fine food.

It was really good.

You got to choose your appetizer, main dish and desert.

It is $85 per person plus supplementals.

It is mostly worth it.

Service was superb. Appetizers and main dish where on smaller size, but deserts where huge.

Very pleasant ambient, little dark for my wife taste :)

We enjoyed it.

We came here in January 1st for dinner and we're pleasantly surprised.
We loved the concept of picking an appetizer, a main course and a dessert for a fixed price. Definitely get the chocolate cake, it was outstanding!
Only odd part was when they brought pickled veggies at the beginning without explaining what it is. It was just dropped off at our table and we were a bit confused.

So, yah. Some great food here but before you go, you should know this. Its fixed price for app, entree and dessert. Maybe not a big deal for most but not worth it for light eaters.

We had a few really delicious plates including the gnocchi w shaved black truffle, Chesapeake soft shelled crab, and lobster. Also had the pork chop but turned out to be way too salty. They offered to redo it which was nice but they brought some madeira wine instead to make up for it.

They brought us a nice anniversary surprise dessert and then the two desserts we ordered. It was good but ended up being way too much food for us.

So bottom line, good food but way too much food for us.

The ambience is dark and classy, modern. There's two levels of seating, including a cool looking banquet room upstairs, and a very social and fun-looking bar area. The service was responsive, pleasant, and not overbearing. The martinis are excellent. The food was delicious and the portions were just the right size. We ordered the special starter (this gnochi-like dumpling in butters sauce, so good!), the green salad, chicken under a brick, the striped bass, and for dessert, the croullers and the chocolate cake. We are transitioning away from a diet of mammals, so no streak. And I have this weird soft spot for ducks, so I never order duck. Although, the steaks and duck dishes sounded good.

So why four stars? It's the pricing. It kind of annoyed me that it's offered as a prix fixe menu ($78/person), but almost every item has a "supplemental" charge. So.... then... it's not prix fixe. It's basically a menu restaurant with a $78/person cover charge. To be clear, I don't take issue with the cost of the meal, necessarily. I am annoyed with how it's being presented.

This is a fantastic fancy dinner date spot.
