"The dining room at Selby’s feels like the love child of old school Hollywood glamour and East Coast old money opulence—spacious leather booths, velvet-upholstered chairs, shimmering chandeliers, and lots of rich mahogany. The warm popovers, served with a disk of flaky salt-topped butter are so good you‘ll be tempted to fill up on them, but exercise restraint because the three-course $125 tasting menu features modernized takes on fine-dining classics you won’t want to be too full for. Get the beef Wellington wrapped in golden pastry and the chile-laced yellowfin tartare that looks like a plate of glistening rubies, served with crunchy, pleasantly thick house potato chips. The cocktails are ice-cold and flawless. Go for the Smoke and Fire if you like whiskey and heat, the Greenpoint is great for chartreuse-lovers, and those skipping booze will love The Bitter Chauffeur." - Gabi Moskowitz
"A luxurious steakhouse from the Bacchus group (Spruce, Village Pub), complete with tomahawaks and a martini cart. (1 star)" - Eater Staff
"This destination-worthy restaurant drips with old-school Hollywood charm, matched by the seemingly effortless poise of the sharply dressed service team.The kitchen team excels at modern takes on classic American cuisine, which get an extra boost from SMIP Ranch—their private farm. Many dishes resemble familiar steakhouse signatures, but they are noticeably elevated here.Your dinner may begin with a fresh-baked Gruyère popover before moving on to an elegant take on vichyssoise. Steaks are cooked to perfection, while Maine lobster vol-au-vent is comforting.The refined take on nostalgic favorites continues through dessert. Standouts have included a slab of midnight chocolate cake as well as enticing old-fashioned crullers, dusted with cinnamon sugar." - Michelin Inspector
