   It was our 46 anniversary the service and food were both excellent. They even placed flowers on the table and an excellent dessert.

   Just when I thought Selva UTC could not impress me more than they have, they add new items to their menu!!! The sauce with their new shrimp cocktail is amazing!! The flavors are so unique you will still be talking about it days later. Trust me! Oh! It wait till you see the presentation. Well done Selva! We love their consistency. We are always warmly greeted. Justin and Michelle and Mario make our evening perfect from the minute we walk through the door. No detail is left out. The food is consistently amazing perfectly pictured plating and the most imaginative combo of flavors. Great cocktails and wines. This place is the darling of the UTC area.

   Had to wait for entrees 40 minutes after others receive theirs as they came after us. Waiter (Juan) did not offer replenishing our drinks. The manager had to. My wife had leftovers and asked to have it boxed; it never came; we left. The reason our food was delayed was because the 'roast chicken' takes a considerable amount of time top prepare, which I find hard to believe. We have frequented the Sarasota city location which we thought was excellent all around. Here at UTC is different. Food is good, but the service was not acceptable. I believe as soon as we told our waiter we do not drink, we were ignored for the rest of the dinner. As a result we did not tip. Very disappointed. I also believe there was a language barrier with the waiter as he did not speak fluent English. Again, very disappointed,

   The staff at this restaurant is very pleasant and customer friendly. The food and ambiance was worth the $$$. Our server Michelle was extremely friendly and informative. We’ll definitely return.

   Always a great dining experience. Food is different and so delicious and we love eating in the bar. Michelle was an outstanding server…engaging, efficient, and she helped us with a joke on one of our friends. She’s the best!
