    Restaurant was lively, as well as the bar, at 7pm on a Friday night. Very friendly host station and table was ready close to our reservation time. Decent wine selection and very tasty appetizers (got the Brussels sprouts and artichoke dip - both good portions). Super attentive wait staff and dinner was served at a fair pace. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals, but too full for dessert — maybe next time.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Selden Standard. Ahsley our waitress was very attentive as were the servers who brought out each dish. Explaining what each one was and confirming that there was none of the allergy items I had mention. The food was delicious and I loved the small plates so that we could try everything. Will definitley be back.

    Jackie the hospitality manager was wonderful, she helped us arrange a wonderful birthday celebration. During our dinner Jackie noticed that I was distracting my young son from being restless, she was very sweet to help me with him. Jennifer was our server, she was kind, knowledgeable, and on top of everything. The employees were so great that I almost forgot to mention that literally everything I ate was delicious and the whole restaurant is beautiful!! We will definitely be back, so glad Ledger is around.

    I love Zola but it is so loud and people packed into the space. Wish they would fix both of those annoyances but then again others may like the energy.
