    A pure joy to dine here on Christmas Eve. Family run with a sense of sharing their French traditions. Every plate served shows the attention of people who care. Festive, joyous and soulful. A wonderful experience that we’ve enjoyed for almost a decade.

    The food here is always amazing. However, tonight on Christmas Eve they were having serious issues with their ordering system. We had to wait almost 30 minutes for our cocktails. But the food was wonderful. Will always definitely keep going back.

    Sushi was great with some unique rolls. Server was friendly and helpful. Drinks were good but a little slow coming from bar. 3 rolls and 2 drinks was $110 so a little bit pricey value wise but I guess expected in a mall setting. We would go back.

    As usual, our overall experience was top quality — food, service (we loved Juan), ambience. Unexpectedly, we had an extra special time. It was our anniversary and, unbeknownst to us beforehand, Selva added a couple of extras to our experience that made the evening that more special to us. I’d recommend Selva to most anyone. Favorites for us are their Caesar and House Salads, Skirt Steak and, my personal favorite, their Rack of Lamb, all with Selva’s special herbs, spices and sauces. A Real Treat!

    We were looking for a unique restaurant close to I-75, for the drive home from St. Petersburg to Naples. How fortunate that we found Mademoiselle Paris. The escargot was some of the best we’ve had, and the duck breast was absolute perfection. The service was friendly and attentive, and made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Highly recommend.
