We went here to try their winterlicious menu before the offer ended. I got the mushroom soup, steak frites, and apple clafoutis. We also ordered their beef tartare which isn't part of their winterlicious menu (really good btw!). The food was great, but I enjoyed their steak frites the most! I like the soup, however, I was expecting it to be a little more hot when served, but still tasted good. The apple clafoutis was great, but I find it a bit dry. Our overall dining experience was okay, although the service was quite slow as we found ourselves waiting for about 15-20 minutes to place our order. Still willing to come back next time to try their other course.

Came here for winterlicious.
We had a really good time. The service was very friendly and welcoming. The staff were attentive and didn't make us feel out of place at all, or as if we were bothering them at all.

The food was really good and rich. We appreciate the waiter helping us choose which foods would agree with my wife's lactose intolerance.

The space was decorated very quaintly and nicely. Bathroom clean. They give you that postcard at the end with is cool...

We had the experience of dining at Maison Selby during the Winterlicious promotion, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The service, food, and atmosphere were all exceptional.

The French cuisine at Maison Selby was truly impressive; every dish was flavorful, perfectly balanced, without being overly spicy. And for sure, fresh.

The unique ambiance creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it easy to relax and enjoy the food. The service was outstanding; our food arrived promptly, and we felt well taken care of without feeling interrupted.

I had such a wonderful experience here! The service was exceptional, with a friendly and attentive staff that made us feel welcome. The food was absolutely delicious—every bite was perfection. The mimosas were delightful, and the Caesar was sharp and full of flavor. The atmosphere was fantastic, creating the perfect setting for an enjoyable meal. Highly recommend this place!

Good was absolutely delicious and service was excellent. We polished our plates! The sauces are the secret ingredients. They were all so good. We are repeat customers and cannot recommend this place enough.

The only thing to recommend is to have better music for evening diners. From Madonna ("Like a prayer) to Katy Perry, even my teenage son was cringing on the music choices for a classy restaurant setting. It's not a 90s pub so maybe have some French music or jazz music would be more appropriate?
