| - I cannot think of a better place to host a girl's night out. Sel is beautifully decorated, offered excellent customer service and they serve delicious/well decorated 4 course meals for $70 per person. The presentation is truly amazing.
I've made a reservation for the 7 of us and the table was ready as soon as we walked in. We were immediately welcome by our server. As the girls came in one by one, he paid close attention to our table making sure we got our drinks/order as soon as possible. Since I had a destinated driver for the night, I ordered the Barbara Jean ($14: Fords Gin, Giffard Strawberry Liqueur, Chamomile Syrup, Lemon Juice) that was highly recommended by our waiter. It has just the right amount of sweet and I definitely enjoyed it. For my 4 course meals, I ordered a Smoked Lobster Stuffed Squash Blossom (roasted corn puree, pickled Bing cherry), Yellow Tomato Gazpacho, Copper river salmon Gravlaz Salad and Duck breast for main entrée. Everything was delicious except the Yellow Tomato Gazpacho. I simply am not used to having my soup served cold, but my friends all seem to like it. The duck dish was so tender, juicy and delicious and I will definitely order that again. I also tried a bite of my friend's filet Mignon. It was juicy and tender. For dessert, I ordered the strawberry short cake. It was a bit too sweet for my taste and I honestly don't care for it much. I wish they have more choices in dessert, but that was the only choice they offer last night.
Overall, my experience here was amazing! I made a reservation 3 weeks ago for a table of 12 (before 5 girls dropped out on me). They called me the day before asking if we were ok to seat us in the patio area. Needless to say, I was not happy to be asked one day before our reservation. Nevertheless, they were nice about it and ended up seating us in the best area at the restaurant. With that said, keep in mind this restaurant isn't for big group setting due to its size. If you have a party bigger than 8, I'll recommend you to go somewhere else. This is, however, a great place for a date night with your love one.
Thanks again for the wonderful evening Sel.
