   I loved the ambiance, the decor, the valet parking, and just the overall upscale experience! The bread was akin to a Yorkshire pudding, very unique, and the beef Wellington was perfect—the meat was so tender and chewable, without a strand of connective tissue. The honey lacquer duck breast was also very nice—the sauce and the garnishes were the highlights. However, unlike the beef, the duck had quite a bit of connective tissues and was difficult to cut and chew sometimes. They have some unique choices of desserts, though I wish we could order them at the end of our meal instead of at the beginning. I enjoyed my profiterole very much though. The service was impeccable. Very courteous and attentive staff. Excellent wait times for food. And the valets were so helpful and friendly. Overall, if you want a refined and upscale (but not overly extravagant) dining experience, I think Selby’s would be a great choice.

   Selby’s is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. The lovely, quiet ambiance allows your party to relax and enjoy conversation. You’re greeted outside by the valet and the greeting continues as you check in. The hostess leads you to your table where you’re met by your server who walks you through the fixed price menu. Make no mistake. This restaurant is pricey but the excellent service, delicious food, and extensive wine list make your evening unforgettable. There is also a full bar. The chef sends out a special amuse-bouche to start your meal. We enjoyed the pear and endive salad, petite fillet, lobster, beef Wellington, fruit tart and chocolate cake. Everything was well prepared and presented beautifully. This restaurant located at the edge of Atherton feels like you’re dining in the best SF restaurant.

   Excellent though service was spotty but it might be because we had the price fix dinner while sitting at the bar. The bartender was excellent.

   The experience was off from the start. Although we had a reservation, they seemed unprepared for us and had to set a table while we waited. Then the simple Prix Fix menu was repeatedly explained to us as if we had never dined out before - to an awkward and even insulting degree. The food was good but not great. All in all, not a win for us.

    Selbys Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience that truly stands out. Delicious food with a fantastic presentation. Each bite is a testament to the chef's skill and attention to detail. The atmosphere is inviting, making it perfect for both intimate dinners or business meetings. The ambiance contributes to a relaxed vibe that allows guests to fully enjoy their meals. I highly recommend Selbys Restaurant to anyone looking for a delightful culinary adventure.
