From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by one of the owners. I chose to sit at the bar, which allowed me to really take in the beautiful, sophisticated decor. The owner was incredibly nice and shared the history of the place and their vision for the future—it’s clear they truly care about the guest experience.
The menu is sharp, focused, and tantalizing. I opted for the special menu, and it was outstanding:
Appetizer: Large shrimp and asparagus in a red tomato sauce with toasted garlic bread. The flavors literally danced on my taste buds, finished with a perfect slight spicy kick.
Wine: I paired this with a beautiful, full-bodied white wine that complemented the meal perfectly.
Entree: The seafood pasta in a smooth, bold red sauce. Every piece of seafood was cooked to perfection and seasoned impeccably.
I can honestly say it was the best seafood pasta I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a spot with heart, style, and incredible food, Selita’s is it. I’ll definitely be back!
We ran into some issues with the execution of the dishes: the scallops were quite gritty and sandy, and they were inconsistent in size. Additionally, the short ribs were surprisingly tough and difficult to eat.
While the staff did kindly ask how everything was, we didn’t feel it was worth bringing up at the time. We had already waited quite a while for our food to arrive and simply didn’t want to wait any longer for a remake.
Between the disorganized service and the underwhelming meal, it was hard to justify the price point. It may have been an off night, but the experience unfortunately turned us off from returning.
Even the complimentary bread had vegan butter on the side, along with bruschetta and olives. The vegan calamari is some of the best my fiance and I ever tasted (compared to restaurants in the city), while the entrees were equally impressive. The portions were large and filling, with each of us taking half of our entrees home for leftovers.
We came around 4:30 on a Saturday. The restaurant was surprisingly empty. More people should go here, it’s great! The staff was friendly and attentive as well. We’ll definitely be back!
The food is absolutely outstanding. Every dish I’ve tried has been full of flavor and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The clams are unforgettable. Perfectly cooked, seasoned beautifully, and always fresh. They’re one of my go-to dishes and a great example of the attention to detail the kitchen brings. I also really appreciate that Selita’s offers a full vegan menu. It’s not an afterthought like it can be at other places. The vegan options here are thoughtful, creative, and seriously delicious. The tofu crab cakes are a personal favorite and such a great option whether you’re vegan or just looking for something different.
What truly makes Selita’s stand out though is the people. The owners have built a space that feels warm, inclusive, and full of character. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always seems genuinely happy to be there. That good energy spills over to the guests and creates a relaxed, fun atmosphere that makes you want to settle in and stay a while.
Deanna, who runs the bar, deserves her own spotlight. She’s more than just the woman behind the drinks. She brings so much personality and warmth to the space. Her energy sets the tone for the whole restaurant. She remembers names, makes everyone feel welcome, and always brings great conversation and even better cocktails. Her espresso martinis and margaritas are unmatched. She mixes them with the perfect balance of flavor and flair. I keep coming back not just for the drinks, but for her genuine hospitality and that amazing smile.
Selita’s is the total package. Delicious food, amazing drinks, an inviting atmosphere, and a team that treats you like family. Whether you’re heading in for a full dinner, drinks at the bar, or just passing through town, it’s a place that leaves a lasting impression. Highly recommend to anyone who values great food and even better people.
