It was so dang good! The service was on point! It was pricey, but after I asked my husband what he thought and he said “Yes pricey, but in my opinion the food, the service, it was worth it”! As far as parking there is valet, but had we checked there were spots right in front it being on a Monday, so we walked just a little across the street. After the waiter gave us a card, (it was our anniversary), no other restaurant I’ve ever been to has ever done that! I’d say if I had any complaints the carrots were for me under done for me, but that’s probably just me, plus I’m not a big fan of goat cheese, but I just wouldn’t order the carrots again. I think everything else was spot on, filet mignon was perfectly cooked medium, and the mashed potatoes or purée was so good! And the bread that you have to order as an appetizer was yum! The best part of my dinner, was the Sticky Toffee Pudding the best dessert I’ve ever had, so good and wasn’t too sweet! Just get it!

The food here is absolutely amazing. The best Cesar Salad I’ve ever had and the best Mac n Cheese! Jay gave amazing recommendations for everything from appetizers, entrees, and sides and had impeccable service! Julio was very kind and kept our waters topped off and was very accommodating. The music was very lively for the atmosphere and we kept having the urge to want to dance while we waited between meals.
Definitely make a reservation over the phone because Google doesnt accurately state if they are booked or not. Google said they were booked from 5PM to 9PM; gave them a call and they had reservations open for 5pm and 5:30pm (highly recommend reserving this way).
Great service, great atmosphere, amazing food.

We live in North OC but always come to celebrate birthdays or anniversaries at Selanne ‘s. The food is always outstanding and the service impeccable. Bonny was our server and was so kind. She took her time chatting with us and sharing stories and didn’t rush to tend to others. She brought us an anniversary card which was a nice touch! Thank you SST for the exceptional service and food! Customers for life!

An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The steaks were absolutely top-tier ~juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked exactly as ordered. The service was impeccable, making the evening feel elegant and effortless. One of the best steakhouses in California!

I will definitely be returning. I’m very happy to say that this restaurant is worth the price tag. The food was excellent, one of the best steaks in Southern California, atmosphere great, and service outstanding. I don’t feel there’s anything you can go wrong with on their menu, from the bread service, to the Mac n cheese, to the aged rib eye, and smoked old fashioned I left more than satisfied.

Our server Mariano was outstanding-he really went above and beyond to ensure we had a great visit! We enjoyed the wagyu tartare, filet and ribye. The risotto was delicious too. All the staff were friendly and it was a great night. One side note is that it would have been nice to be seated indoors, but we were visiting from out of town so we did not know the options when we made the reservation. Since it was a later reservation, we did not want to wait for an inside table. But, they have heaters so it is toasty and not cold at all.

Beautiful location that feels as if you are in the French countryside. Many vegetarian options for those that are not partaking in the “steak” part of the tavern. Sticky toffee pudding is the best you will find outside the UK.

Visited Selanne last night, and the experience was wonderful. The 1934 historic home on PCH is even more stunning in person, with an interior design that adds so much character to the restaurant.

We started with fresh oysters, and the ice wine mignonette elevated their flavor beautifully. The shaved Brussels sprouts salad with mustard vinaigrette was a delight. I loved it so much that I might try replicating it at home. The house black pepper and thyme loaf, served with a trio of butters, was delicious and complemented the bread perfectly.

For my entrée, I had the Chilean sea bass, which was cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with the potato fondant. I also ordered the wild mushrooms as a side, and they were incredibly flavorful. My boyfriend had the NY strip steak, but unfortunately, he found it slightly undercooked and was a bit unimpressed.

For dessert, we shared the almond and date gâteau, which was absolutely divine! It had just the right level of sweetness, making for a perfect ending to our meal.

Service was fantastic throughout the night. Before leaving, we explored the upstairs level and learned that it’s only open on Fridays and Saturdays. It features a gorgeous private room and an impressive wine display.

Overall, it was a great dining experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back!

Almost perfect… but a few minor complaints. We had a delicious meal, but it did not rank with the best I have had… especially not for the price.

Appetizer was tasty. One of the best scallops I have had. Salad was nicely prepared, but nothing exceptional. Not for $20 per scallop.

Lobster mashed potatoes were more like a lobster soup… very soupy. But tasted nice. But not $42 nice.

Steak was very tasty, just slightly overcooked, but nothing I could really complain about. Was a beautiful steak. And for $100 per steak, it should be the best steak I have ever had.

Desert was very pretty and tasted good. Espressos were also very good.

The drinks… that’s my biggest complaint. They were about $20-25 and quite small/average. There is NO generosity in the pours. Nothing really exceptional for the price.

I guess that’s my overall review… it’s was nice, food was very good, but we left a little underwhelmed. There was nothing terribly rememberable about the place. For $550 for two people, we didn’t leave with an overwhelming feeling of amazement or desire to ever go back. It was very good, just not great.
