Elegant but casual, Selene impressed and delighted. Amazing service and food, and the most elevated Greek salad I’ve ever had. I would also drink the mussel broth on its own, it’s that good. Selene deserves all the success, thank you for a lovely evening!

This is our new favourite Italian restaurant in North Burnaby. The food was delicious, and truly traditional with its flavours and taste. The service was good, but a little overbearing honestly. I understand our servers wanted to treat us politely and welcome us, but the one lady introduced herself and the other server three times to us. We just wanted to chat amongst ourselves because it had been months since we've seen each other, but the constant "checking in" seemed overbearing at times. We will be back nonetheless because the food was excellent!
