Great service, comfortable atmosphere, fantastic wine list and an awesome menu. We've been there twice and both times it was one of the best meals we've ever had. Cant wait to go back.

I have visited Selva numerous times over the past five years because the restaurant offers consistently excellent food and service. The ceviche options, in particular, combine amazingly fresh flavors. My favorite entree is always the Arroz con Pato. Service is very good, evidenced by a low turnover of waiters and bartenders. I do find that the presentation has suffered slightly... More

We haven't been to Selva Grill in a while. We returned for Savor Sarasota. The food was outstanding and by coincidence, we had the same waiter that we had last time. Alan provided great service and made excellent recommendations. The ceviche appetizer was excellent. We had the flat iron steak and duck breast for our main courses. Both were perfectly... More

We have been to Selva 3 times in the last 6 months. One of our favorites! The ceviche sampler is the best. 3 unique taste sensations on one plate. The South American influence includes plantains and wonderful sauces. Have ordered duck, , short ribs, grouper. Generous portions. Every meal perfectly prepared. The first two visits were impeccable service. Attentive and... More

Food is fabulous. Expensive unless you go during Savour Sarasota. Our table had the skirt steak and the duck. Both were phenomenal. Outside dining very nice and intimate. Mousse is great but rich.

Great small plates, a bit pricey ( 4 small plates& 2 drinks $60) but presented well. Hard to get in during Happy hour, so get there early. Very nice atmosphere, great for dates.

My husband and I dined at Selva while staying at Longboat Key. It was very easy to get to--just over the Ringling Causeway in downtown Sarasota. It's an attractive venue, with seating both inside and out. The waiter was very pleasant and very accommodating in helping us plan our meals around our food restrictions. (I have allergies, he's gluten free.)... More

Started with a Pisco sour-good for sure. Had the snapper (whole fish) entree-very good. The place was hopping with a ton of young people. The other entrees were all very good-steak, ribs, and even a vegeterian option for another at the table. Service was courteous and efficient.

My wife and I had a wonderful visit to Selva's. Five star presentation and service, and the food was incredible. At first I was reluctant to try some of the more daring options but after readin all the reviews, we tried the watermelon tuna appetizer and it hit every single spot on my taste buds! Just awesome all the way... More
