Ate here on a Friday night. Pre booked via phone as we were travelling up from Melbourne and didnt want to miss out on a table. On arrival the place was almost full and was buzzing. Great feel to it, not overly big (so book), cozy and relaxed. First meal I spied, was the waygu beef pie, looked great and... More

We were introduced to Selah by friends. It is a couple of minutes from Circular Quay with a shopfront that might be easy to walk past but definitely warrants a visit to enjoy delicious food in a cosy atmosphere. The owner is available to customers, and takes pride in what is offered to diners. The food is delicious - serves... More

Food was delicious, service was great. We booked a table for 7 pm but a couple of friends were half an hour late but the staff were very accommodating and patient. Restaurant was full at the time and our mouths were watering every time a meal was delivered to the other tables

I've dined at Selah on around half a dozen occaisions. The menu is pretty briefbut everything is really good - steak, snapper etc. It's certainly not cheap but compared to some of the exorbitant places in town you get an excellent meal, nice service, good atmosphere and a decent wine list.

Any restaurant that survives the Sydney scene for 10 years as Selah does in a couple of weeks must be doing something right. A great night with everything perfect - good bistro style atmosphere, good diverse menu with options for my wife's allergies - even down to the rice flour and tamari soy sauce - better than the majority of...

I have been here many times, and can recommend it as a place for a reliably good food and service. Besides being referred by one waiter to another as "just a walk-in" last time I went there, the rest of the night was terrific as usual. The steak is always cooked perfectly. Really good ambience, particularly in winter.

I had read reviews that this was noisy so was put off but our Conceirge recommended and we were able to get in at the time that suited. We were thrilled with the whole experience. Loved the venue/vibe with lots of interesting people dining on the night we went. Food outstanding and portion size absolutely right - not too much.... More

High quality good cooking in an informal restaurant convenient to the harbor hotels. Try these specialities: Wagyu Beef Potpie - melt in your mouth served itch "mushy peas" Autumn Root Vegetables - sautéed and then baked, great vegetarian Fish & Chips - at the top of the menu Nice wines, mostly nominally priced.

Wonderful staff, made us feel very welcome and sensational food, especially the tuna three ways. Make sure you book a table or you may be disappointed.
