This review is based on a visit from last year, when my boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at Selby’s.
The setting is one of Selby’s strongest points. We were seated upstairs, and the space felt elegant, quiet, and very refined—almost a classic “old money” fine dining atmosphere. It was beautifully done and perfect for a special occasion. They also left us a handwritten anniversary card, which was a thoughtful and appreciated touch. They also offer complimentary valet parking, which is a nice bonus, especially since parking can be difficult during peak dining hours.
The food, however, was more mixed. Presentation was fairly simple, but some dishes stood out. The Bay Abalone (supplement) was enjoyable, and the duck breast was very good—the skin was crispy, the meat tender, and the sauce had a nice sweet-and-sour balance without being heavy.
On the other hand, the Beef Wellington (supplement) was underwhelming. The pastry was quite hard, and the beef itself lacked flavor.
Because it was our anniversary, we were also given a complimentary celebratory dessert, which was a lovely gesture. While the dessert itself was fairly ordinary and not especially memorable, the gummies served at the end were surprisingly good and a sweet little finish to the meal.
The biggest drawback of the evening was the service from our main server. We unfortunately found a hair in one of the complimentary starters. When we quietly pointed it out, she simply took the dish away and replaced it without offering any apology or acknowledgment. Later in the meal, when I politely asked a question, she replied with a curt “wait” in a noticeably impatient tone, which felt especially inappropriate for a Michelin-level dining experience. These moments stood out in a negative way. That said, other staff members were warm and attentive, and the issue seemed limited to this one server.
Overall, Selby’s was an okay experience, especially considering the value of the $125 three-course menu and the generous portions. However, it didn’t quite live up to what I’d expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. With stronger service consistency, it could be much better—but as it was, it felt just okay, not great.

We dined at Selby’s and overall the ambiance and service were pleasant, but the meal was mixed.
The beef Wellington was underwhelming. The filling felt like a custard-style component rather than a traditional mushroom duxelles, which threw off the texture and flavor balance and made it feel less like a classic Wellington.
More concerning, two separate items were served with visible dried food residue/grime on the underside—first under the duck entrée plate and later on the glass used for the caramel dessert. We mentioned it to our server and received an apology, but there was no additional follow-up.
At this price point, attention to detail and stronger quality control are expected. I hope this was an off night, because the restaurant has a lot of potential.

Perfection from start to finish! From the minute you walk in you’re greeted with smiles & warmth! Our sever was very helpful with our choices! The food is wow!! I enjoyed every bite of what I ate! The yellow fin appetizer was delicious, my steak was cooked to perfection! My partner got the lobster dish, and before I could even look up, she had devoured it!! The sticky toffee pudding was YUM! If you’re hesitating, please don’t! Put on a cute outfit, and go! You’ll be so happy that you did! One of my fav meals, and I’m super picky!! P.s I loveee the vibes here!! Oh, aaamd my espresso martini was wonderful!!

Christmas Eve dinner at Sleby’s was good, not great. The scallope crudo was my favorite dish (although the charred citrus did not add much to the dish in my opinion). We tried both entrees: the ribeye was well prepared but did not stand out in any way; one of the preparations for the hen was very tasty. Dessert was good. The Buche de Noelle was pleasant and mild. The crème caramel was good and worked well with the added citrus notes. Overall, a pleasant experience.

Selby’s is a phenomenal experience at a reasonable fine dining price. But whether this passes as a Michelin star… I hesitate quite a bit. Now kudos to Selby’s for delivering a $125 3-course tasting menu which I believe is a very reasonable price. However, whether this is a single star worthy… hmmm.
Let’s get the good parts checked off. Service is friendly, fast and amazing, like any fine dining. Atmosphere is also cozy, modern and sophisticated. Again, completely in line with fine dining.
Now let’s go to the food.
1. Lukewarm croquettes are just not acceptable – even as a freebie. Given every table gets this welcome dish, I’m presuming they are making it en masse. But you cannot serve something cold. Taste was good though!
2. Fluffy bread with butter/salt was awesome.
3. The persimmon salad was too dusty. The ingredients seemed fresh but the balance of the salad wasn’t pleasing. I totally understand what the chef was going for but something was off. The salad was overly fancy that did not add to the experience.
4. The cod was phenomenal. Well seasoned. Well cooked. Even the bed of lentils went along well, although, I may have suggested a slightly different carb to go with it.
5. The midnight chocolate cake was rich. Quite frankly though, it was a bit too simple to be fanfared about.
The food is great. And at the price point, I’d round it up to the 4th star. But again, is this a star? I’m not sure… Perhaps they had better days.
Selby’s will absolutely serve you right for a great date night. But I can’t see this being the first choice for many fine dining occasions.

For someone like me this is a place I like to go to for a special occasion. Service is top notch. The servers and staff are attentive and knowledgeable of the food. Food is great and flavorful.

Had a good experience at Shelby’s. The ambience and service were both pleasant. We started with an amuse-bouche, and the bread was very good. The chestnut velouté was well done, and the handmade tortellini was delicious. Finished with the apple tart for dessert, which was great. Overall, a very nice experience.

Wow! That’s all I have to say. Okay, but seriously, this place is awesome. Let me tell you why from the moment you walk in. You can sense the level of care and attention to detail that has gone into this place. The food was incredible, and the waitstaff made excellent recommendations. Antonio was our server, and he did a wonderful job explaining the menu and offering perfect pairings. We will definitely be back with friends, thanks so much for such a memorable night.

Beef Wellington always the best in the Bay Area!
Chef, thank you for the Chestnut Velouté — the presentation is beautiful and the flavor combination is thoughtful. I hope you don’t mind a small piece of feedback that may be helpful for future iterations.
Although the current version uses braised apples, I genuinely feel that pear would bring out a more elegant and fresh sweetness that pairs naturally with chestnut. Pear holds a delicate fragrance and a softer, more autumnal profile; it would brighten the velouté without adding the slight “stewed fruit” heaviness that apples sometimes bring.
For the squash element, I also wanted to share that Japanese kabocha could elevate the dish even further. It has a denser texture and a deeper natural sweetness, which would give the velouté more body and make the overall flavor rounder and more comforting.
These are just small suggestions because the concept has so much potential, and I truly hope my thoughts can contribute positively to its future refinement. Thank you again for the care you put into the dish.

Apparently the black label burger is what got them the michelin star. I had the Selby Burger, it’s got a surprising wasabi kick to it! The bar seat is great if you don’t have reservations, you can still order or on the menu. The valet parking is also complimentary as well.
