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.

Our waitress was amazing, taking care to make sure we had everything we wanted and taking care with a smile and promptness. The way she ordered our meal was spot on, letting us eat our soup and salad and then ordering our main course. She should be commended highly by you and she is by us as well.
