Selene

"We discovered this restaurant during our vacation trip to NY. It was an amazing find and we will definitely return. The food was really yummy and our server/bartender was amazing and super professional and friendly. He gave us food recommendations and the drinks he prepared were so good!!!"

"My friend and I made reservations to go to Selene at 5:30 on a Tuesday. There appear to be two entrances, so if you are meeting someone, specify which street you are waiting on. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and classy. 5:30 is still pretty early for dinner, and when we went they were out of a lot of things, especially seafood. It may have been the particular day we went, but it was odd. I also do not have the prices of our dishes because my friend covered the check, and I forgot to take a picture of the receipt. I do remember it being overpriced, but given the location it is not at all surprising. My friend got the lasagna, and I got the salmon. My friend enjoyed the lasagna. It was nothing special, but it did have good flavors. For me, the salmon was cooked well in terms of moisture, but it had zero flavor. The vegetables had flavor, but if you can tell from the picture, they were very charred. Finally, we decided to splurge on a dessert, and the apple dessert pictured below was the only thing they had in stock that evening. We actually did not finish eating it because it had a really odd taste. To me, it tasted like the top of a crème brulée that was extremely burnt. My friend said it tasted like something went bad. Overall, food was pretty average, and did not live up to the price point. However, service here was fantastic. Our server was extremely friendly and hospitable, and our waters were constantly refilled and there were multiple checkpoints. I think there are better places in the area for a similar price point."

"This place is incredible, I loved it! The food was so tasty, the dessert was delicious! Classy and beautiful ambiance and excellent service. Please try these, you'll thank me later Nutella crepe , lava cake, crab cakes , lobster risotto, ribeye with fingerling potatoes , calamari and watermelon salad! You're welcome!!!"

"Nice atmosphere and excellent service. Very nice new space in FiDi. The burger and gyro were both a bit dry but otherwise the service and drinks made up for it all. Planning on going back for brunch. Enjoyed my post birthday brunch :) will be back soon!"
