    I have loved this restaurant for years. Service is normally excellent. Last night we had a carnival barker for a server whose attempt at exuberance was excessive and added to the uncomfortable din in the room every time she came to any table. Additionally, when we informed her that our coffees arrived cold she was rude, even snarky. This is my first and only negative experience at Selva and it was surprising. As usual the food was superb.

    We invited my in-laws for dinner at Selva and got blown away. The food was incredible and our waitress went above and beyond. We will definitely go back next time when we are in Sarasota! Absolute MUST GO

    I always enjoy the ambiance, service and presentation. The noise level today seemed noisier than I remember and I would prefer a bit less. Still a 5- star to me.
