    Wow, what a lovely experience! We had a comfortable corner table where we could easily hear each other in conversation. We all enjoyed the French themed set menu for January. It was absolutely delicious! I had the squash pumpkin bisque, veal tenderloin medallions, asparagus and small roasted potatoes, and a chocolate mousse dessert. Could not have been any nicer! Our service was superb. Our server was polite and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant. And the set menu! Looking forward to my next visit!

    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.

    The Columbia restaurant is always a winner! We had a fabulous meal and Jack was an exceptional waiter. We love the food, the atmosphere and the value. My husband always starts with the exceptional black bean soup, I had the empanadas yum! We both had Grouper. Rounded out our meal with key lime pie ( a generous slice) and the tres amigos churros, delicious 😋 we highly recommend and we will be back!
