    We had a wonderful dinner at Selden Standard. Ahsley our waitress was very attentive as were the servers who brought out each dish. Explaining what each one was and confirming that there was none of the allergy items I had mention. The food was delicious and I loved the small plates so that we could try everything. Will definitley be back.

    We had Christmas brunch at The Apparatus Room. The hostess seated us right away and was very accommodating to our seating preference. I loved that the restaurant had music in the background that wasn't too loud. The service was prompt and attentive throughout the meal. We all enjoyed our food and had a great time. I will definitely return here in the future.
