My husband and I went to Maison Selby to celebrate my birthday. The environment is original because it includes different rooms with different decorations. The lights are dimmed which gives the place a very cosy and intimate feel. The meals were great: we had the French Onion Soup, the Burger, the Duck and the Berry dessert. We really enjoyed the duck breast with the sauce and the fries that come with the burger, the dessert was delicious as well. The cocktails were a good balance of alcohol and sweetness (Love Affairs & Why So Cerise) however I didn't like the Espresso Martini that much as it wasn't sweet enough. The team and the service were nice. Overall, I was expecting a high-quality experience for this French restaurant but it didn't match my expectations. That's why, I'm giving 4 out of 5 stars. A few improvements to consider to contribute to the higher-quality feel would be: giving a bread basket, having a coat check or more coat hangers around, gifting the dessert for the birthday or at least adding a candle when we ordered the dessert. Because of these details, I wouldn't come back to Maison Selby for a special occasion, but maybe for a regular night out.

Worst experience after 14 days in Toronto! Don’t even think it is French. It was just disgusting. Service was horrible. We ordered a bottle of wine, and 25 min later the waitress said that they were running late as they had to go to the cellar in another building. Happy hour is only for 5 cocktails or a glass of red or white wine. My steak tartare was not great and despite i said i was allergic to garlic they served me frozen fries obviously with pesto. My husband had a coq au vin on mashed potatoes not made today! Try to avoid this place, too expensive for the quality of food or service

In one word, impeccable. Delicious food, wonderful ambiance and highly skilled, well trained servers in black and whites. If you love French Bistro, Maison Selby knocks it out of the park! It felt like I was back in Paris.

Enjoyed dinner at the bar with a friend. Beautiful place, of course. Martinis (yes plural) were on point. Steak frites were superb--maybe the frites could have been... hotter? But the steak was amazing.
