Boy oh boy! It’s taken me far too long to dine at Selden, but I found it to be absolutely worth the wait.
We sat at the Chef’s Counter which was hot, cozy, and bustling on a cold, busy, winter night! I now can’t imagine sitting anywhere else.
Our food was dy-no-mite and we were pleased with portion sizes. I am always drawn towards vegetarian options and here, they were truly delicious. Watching the rib eye steaks as they were prepped and flamed at the counter meant that we HAD to order one, and it was one of the finest steaks we have ever sunk our teeth into. It was a little more rare than we requested but that didn’t stop us. We forgot to even drink our drinks once the food was placed in front of us… and that is a rare occurrence.
Our server, Leah, was knowledgeable and efficient! We also felt the camaraderie of the team as food was delivered, utensils were replaced between courses, and settings were cleaned promptly as other guests left.
Overall, a fine establishment for those who enjoy the full experience of dining out. A new Detroit favourite for me, indeed!

Finally checked this place out. Overall, we're happy we stopped in, but we're not sure we would return. The food and drinks were spot on. It's very tasty and creative. We didn't care for being rushed, which gave a little bit of an unwelcome vibe. Unfortunately, the atmosphere doesn't really match the cost to justify our datenight budget for us.

The whole experience was absolutely amazing! Would highly recommend making the trip to try it for yourself. We started with the Beet Salad and Halloumi which very good. Then we had the Duck Breast as our main along with Roasted Carrots which made a great pairing. We finished with the Chocolate Hazelnut Bar and the Apple Baklava along with some decaf coffees for dessert. Highly recommend anything we ordered or anything that you would like off their menu. No doubt that they can make anything taste amazing.

This is it. You found it.
If you're reading this, find a way to get to this restaurant.
Easily the best restaurant in Detroit, and dare I say my favorite. If you followed my food adventures, you know...
Normally I'd do a run down of The Good The Bad and The ugly, but if you've got this far into my review just know there is not much here to complain about. The service is always unbelievable, the food is out of this world, and the atmosphere is delightful. If you're there in on a nice day, try to sit in the garden area out back.
The real star of the show at this place is the vegetable sides, order them all if you can manage it.
I'm not going to spoil this experience by saying anything more, just go taste the food.

Liz was great, she made our night extra special! We tried alot of different tasty things and the best was the corn dish. Big thanks to Paul (manager) who made sure everything was fabulous. Can't wait to come back and try other things.
