Selvin's Restaurant + Lounge

Been to Selvin’s several times now. Brunch, Happy Hour & Dinner… been great every time! I recently took my staff for a nice dinner for their birthdays. Everything was delicious. (We got the Burrata salad, bread with whipped butter, fungi pizza, sea bass & risotto with scallops. It was so good. Our server Mason was exceptional. If you’re looking for a good vibe, great food and service… you’ve found it!

Selvin's Restaurant in Thousand Oaks is an absolute gem and truly deserves all the rave reviews! From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of casual elegance and warmth, making it perfect for any occasion, whether it's a romantic dinner, a celebratory gathering, or just a fantastic meal out. The California coastal cuisine with a gourmet twist is simply divine – every dish, from the perfectly seared scallops to the innovative pizzas and delectable desserts, is a masterpiece of flavor and presentation. The cocktails are expertly crafted, and the wine list is stellar, complementing the exquisite food beautifully. Beyond the incredible food and drinks, the service is consistently attentive and genuinely friendly, making you feel truly valued. Selvin's isn't just a meal; it's an unforgettable dining experience that will leave you eager to return!

Love love love this place! Such a beautiful restaurant! The perfect spot for weekend brunch or a quiet romantic dinner. My sister in law found this spot on instagram and we decided to check it out. It was even more inviting in person. Beirufkky decorated, lots of cozy spots to sit and dine and beautiful little booths for a quiet romantic evening. Sometimes restaurants this “Instagram worthy” don’t really come through when it comes to the food but Selvin’s is different. The food was superb. We tried the Classic Eggs Benedict, the chilaquiles and the French Toast. Yes, there were only two of us but we showed a lot of restraint only ordering three things; everything sounded so good! We also had a Bellini and a vanilla latte which were perfect. My sister-in-law said the Bellini was super yummy with the perfect amount of peach flavor. The entire staff was extremely friendly but our server, Maria, was absolutely amazing. So friendly, kind and attentive. She really went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. We already have plans for another girls brunch but we will be bringing more girls so that we can order more food! I also can’t wait to have dinner and try one of their delicious desserts. The parking lot has plenty of free parking available.

What a fantastic brunch! Selvin’s was decorated up for the holidays and looked pristine. We had excellent service from Mac who took great care of us. We tried so many things but the peppermint espresso martini really stood out! The khachapuri was also tasty and a great sharing dish. The meat candy and chicken and waffles were both so great as well. We look forward to our next visit!

Beyond impressed with every aspect of the restaurant. Service was amazing. Food was delicious. Atmosphere was very fun. Loved it!

A true 5 star experience here! Trendy upscale dining. Upscale mix of fancy and casual atmosphere. High quality fresh food, with attentive knowledgeable service. From the start we had friendly customer service on a Saturday night, and were quickly attended to. Our server was knowledgeable on the menu, and able to make thoughtful recommendations tailored to your taste interests. The calamari was some of the best I've had, and was told all their food is fresh never frozen. Steak and frites was excellent, cooked to order with a nice amount of char on the steak. This really outshines the rest of the shopping center, although the center is improving overall. We'll return again, and definitely recommend it to others.

03/09/2025, we were a party of four for dinner on a Sunday evening. “Jackson” was our server, and very polite each time he approached our table. Excellent drinks, cauliflower appetizer, entrees, wine and service. We were guests at the connected Palm Garden Hotel (highly recommend). The next morning we enjoyed a very nice, and hot complimentary breakfast in the same dining room. Outstanding service by all of the restaurant staff.

Lovely restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere. I was a guest staying at the Palm Garden next door and we ordered in before our flight back home. Very friendly greeting from the hosts. I asked about my voucher from the hotel, they immediately checked with the manager which came super fast. She introduced herself and gave me the voucher within minutes. We got the truffle fries and spicy fried chicken sliders. Let me say the fries were the absolute best ever. Burgers were very good, very creative ans tasty. Will come back!

Going out to eat can be a bit of a hassle. Getting ready, traveling to, finding parking and, ultimately, the uncertainty of the meal itself. Let me introduce you to a top tier dining establishment located in the suburbs. Selvin's Restaurant and Lounge, it seems has found a niche in a location that has had several iterations before it, with a very fresh remodel and a menu that welcomes diners of all stripes. With elevated culinary selections, rotating specials a beautifully stocked full bar and a brunch, dinner, happy hour and after hour menu, Selvin's has brough a strong upscale dining experience to the Conejo Valley. The service staff are all attentive and take their work seriously, (meaning- menu knowledge, frequent check-ins, water refresh and smiles). The service is quick and accurate. Located adjacent to the Palm Gardens Hotel, the 101 freeway is nearby and there is plenty of free parking. Reservation recommended. Chef John Vega and the managing team of Selvin's Restaurant and Lounge (some of whom I remember from the whiskey tasting days of Brendan's), removes the daunting uncertainty of leaving the comfort of home for a nice meal out.*****

First time visiting this place. Indeed it's a fancy and cozy place to spend time with family and friends. It was a busy time, luckily a reservation was made. So it's better to rsvp just in case. The food was presented in a lovely way. It's beautiful and delicious. Definitely a thumbs up for our community. Must try.

Was looking for something near our hotel that wasn't a chain and came across Selvin's! I was immediately sold by the pictures of the cocktails and pizzas, then sold once again when I saw that they had quite a few reasonably priced items. First impression was the atmosphere, it was fabulous! Loved the lounge vibes, it felt upscale and swanky without feeling stuffy or like we weren't dressed enough to be there. Also loved the flower wall in the patio room, and how they had the same florals in the main dining room, really tied the two rooms together. To eat the four of us ordered in pairs, we each got caesar salad and pizzas to share. The caesar salad was great, I loved that it was grilled, something you don't see too often so when you do get it, it's a nice treat. The pizzas were good, and the crust was great. My mom and I shared the funghi and thought that it needed a little more flavor or salt to help cut through the richness of the cheese and caramelized onions. But, we still enjoyed it. The other pizza was a margherita but with the addition of pepperoni. My dad loved this and said it was one of the best pizzas he had in awhile. He liked that it wasn't too heavy, especially since we were eating fairly late. A few of us got drinks, my mom loved her cosmo, my cocktail was fine but not one I'd order again. I liked that they had some more innovative cocktails as well as the classics, I'd probably go with a classic next time.

They say... "Some things in life are worth waiting for." Well I'm here to tell you... Yeah I'm talking to YOU... That Selvin's Restaurant & Lounge in Thousand Oaks, California was 1000% worth the wait and is exactly what this city needed. A Classy, Elegant, & Upscale destination where locals and tourists alike can experience the cities newest IT spot that I guarantee will not disappoint. ---------------------------- The backstory: We had been to the previous eatery years prior that occupied this same exact space (previously Brendan's Irish Pub & Restaurant) which was just another bar with bar-like food that matched the atmosphere of the hotel it was once attached to. Fast forward years later and a new vision was on the horizon! And after months and months and months and months of construction, Selvin's finally made its debut (June 2024??) and it was literally blowing up my social media marketing the newest lounge and boutique hotel in town. Between the... Revamped boutique hotel & The new restaurant & Lounge... I knew it was just a matter of time before we went and checked it out for ourselves. Well 4 months later, which I think is the perfect amount of time for a new restaurant to work out the kinks and get into their groove... We finally made our own debut and boy was I nothing, but short of impressed. Let me tell you, Nothing and I mean Nothing was left to chance. The exterior decor, the perimeter lighting, the signage on the outside of the building is Perfection. The seating layout, the cool bar setup, and the vibe inside transforms you to a different time and I totally dig it. The amount of detail that they put into each of their menus, the pure magic that's coming from the kitchen and the precision of how each dish is beautifully plated tells me.... Selvin's mean business and they are in the business of hospitality! Hell, if you don't believe me... Just go and check out their restrooms! Even their restrooms have class & style! A menu that will appease everyone's palate and has something for all. Entrees are all reasonably priced... Smaller plates, including Pizzas, Salads & Appetizers to share all also available. A wide variety of fun cocktails, spirits, beers on tap and a hand selected wine list are at the ready... When you are ready; Are you ready? All I can say is... Compliments to the Chef's making culinary magic from the kitchen. Bravo to the Owners and Management team who brainstormed to bring this little gem to life. You were definitely worth the wait! And we will absolutely be back soon!

*** Bar review *** I went here for a drink after a Pilates class because why not. Sat at the bar, which are pretty easy to get especially on non-peak hours. Ordered myself a dirty martini, which was great. I hate when people serve a martini on a non-chilled glass it just ruins the experience. And was very glad that my martini was ice cold and well balanced. I also love that they partner up with local distilleries like Ventura spirits way to keep supporting local. I also ordered arancini. And those were great as a little snack to eat with my drink. Service was great and Ed the GM even stopped by to say hi!

Celebrated Galentine's Day here with my friends. It was my first visit here. Restaurant is beautiful! I saw they have a little private room too. They have a seasonal cocktail menu right now. I had the Hearts & Spirit which was good but a little on the sweet side. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The chicken sliders are 2 per serve but the server made it a 3pc serve for us since 3 of us wanted to share it! The mushroom pizza was so good, great crust! The dessert menu is limited though. We went with the carrot cake and fruit tart. For someone who isn't a carrot cake fan, I actually enjoyed it. Overall a great restaurant to have in our community. And you can actually go in a big group and still be able to hear each other talk! Prices are more on the high end side, especially the entrees but you can always do the share plates too. Great service too!

Where do eight friends go for Christmas Eve dinner when not in the mood for Chinese food? Selvin's was open and honored our reservation despite being pretty crowed when we arrived. Our server was at our table very soon after we arrived with a big smile and upbeat attitude. Great service throughout the evening. We started with 2 shared appetizers - the fried calamari ($15) and the cauliflower symphony ($19). The calimari was good but the cauliflower was OUTSTANDING!! I'm usually not a big fan of cauliflower. This dish could make me a convert - it was soooo good. For my entree, I got the penne alla vodka with shrimp ($32). Large portion of penne with 4 grilled shrimp. Excellent dish. My wife got the brick chicken. She thought it was the best chicken preparation she has ever had! Great service, lovely ambiance, and terrific food - we will definitely be back - often!

There's nothing I love more than a dining experience that completely makes you feel like you're somewhere special, that's what this place did for me, it has a modern but classic Hollywood nostalgia to it, felt like I was in a movie with all of the holiday decor, The egg nog "secret Santa" drink was delicious! Everything tasted great, staff was on point w great service and were very attentive! I got prime rib which tasted great and was tender,

Selvin's was truly something special. I had the Butternut Squash Risotto, it was so amazing. I literally wanted to lick my plate. The service was great and they had a cute flower wall for pictures. The patio is nice and beautiful ambiance.

Came here for a birthday and I was blown away with how beautiful the decor on the inside was especially the flower wall. We had an amazing server who was very attentive and gave a lot of suggestions as it was our first time there we tried a number of drinks and the arancini Appetizer was absolutely delicious. My daughter ordered a pumpkin mock tail which she did not like and we did not want to send back, but we sent it back and the server was kind enough to remove it from our bill and at the end of our service gave us an additional $20 off . We had the pasta dish and the steak fries some of the best french fries I've ever had. they were so crunchy good seasoning I loved the Mezcal drink with the little flame. That was amazing. Highly recommend. I would definitely go back to try different items on the menu and of course their brunch

I wanted to see what the hype was all about after seeing posts on social media. We came on the weekend for bunch which wasn't that busy. They have both inside and outdoor covered patio. Both section was beautifully decorated which was nice. Decor was great and well executed. I believe it's part of the hotel next door so there was plenty of parking in the lot. It's also right off the fwy. When we walked it, it was pretty mellow and there wasn't a hostess to treat us. One of the staff took us to our table and was also our waitress. Menu is limited for brunch but does have some nice items. Drinks menu was great both from brunch and main menu. We started off with the classic mimosas and a Bloody Mary. Both were great. Food, the ceviche for the table. Nice chunks of seafood and served with taro chips. It was great, the flavors mixed well together and was perfect with the crunchy chips. For main, the chicken and waffles and the smoked salmon flatbread. Also asked if they could do just a side of fries as they didn't offer it in side items but only truffles fries as a shared plate. The chicken and waffles were whatever. Waffles were premade and hard. Chicken was fried chicken breast versus fried chicken. It was ok, nothing no major to rave about. The smoked salmon pizza on the other hand was great. Nice potion of salmon mines with the onions and capers. It was great compared to the chicken and waffles. Then the side of fires which after the bill came ended up costing more than the truffles. Truffle fries in the shared plate was 14.00, I asked for a side of regular fries which she said could be done ended up being 15.00. More than truffles, ok. Food was ok, drinks were nice. The restaurant is beautiful and well decorated for the holiday. They also have the impressive flower wall for all your photos needs. Would we try it again, it was ok. Dinner maybe a different story. But the basic fries being more than truffles was a put off.

What a gem in the Thousand Oaks neighborhood. I'm so glad this restaurant is attached to Palm Garden, cause it was really easy for me to walk from my hotel room to this restaurant. The food here is superior. I loved everything I had here -- the salad, cocktails, tiramisu, and oh my goodness... the bread!! Definitely recommend coming here for a night out with friends or family. I want to come back sometime to try the pizza as it looked delicious as well.

Our 3rd time at Selvin's but finally had the opportunity to have dinner and let me tell you 805 people if you haven't tried Selvin's yet you are missing out. Ventura County is truly blessed to have this amazing classic restaurant at our fingertips. Service was first rate, the evening ambience made it even better but the star of the evening was the amazing food. We wanted to try so many dishes and we were lucky enough to be dining with another couple so we made lots of choices. Well done Selvin's, or as I say in Italian; Bravissimo e delizioso! I will be back many more times to continue enjoying your menu. Mangiamo!

Great delicious food, and great drinks. Perfect outing for our girls night out. Service was okay, but our waiter was also working the bar, so totally understood. Will be back :)

Love the vibe at Selvin's and love that we have this excellent fine dining experience in NP. Highly recommend reservations. Our server was very attentive without hovering. Love that their cocktail menu has little images of what the drink will look like. And having been here once before - it's safe to say that any cocktail you get is going to be excellent. Pizza Oven Blistered Shishito 3/5 - Fermented Black Bean Vinaigrette, Scallions, Sesame Seeds- these weren't well blistered - no crinkle, and a bit soggy. The flavors weren't entirely balanced between tart/sweet/salt- rather they tasted one dimensional. 5/5 Steak Frites - Prime Hanger Steak topped with Chimichurri Sauce - fries were a touch under salted but had a great texture of crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside. The steak was cooked and cut perfectly (although could have done with a touch of char) and the chimichurri sauce was delicious. 3/5 Ahi Tuna Poke with a soy glaze, avocado puree, and daikon radish, then topped with scallion curls, furikaki, and crispy wontons - the tuna had no discernible flavor at all. The crackers (not what I'd call wantons) didn't complement the flavor of the dish at all, so I didn't really bother with them-- which made the dish very one-dimensional. I hadn't paid attention to the fact that it is avocado puree - instead when I saw the little dollops I thought that it would be wasabi puree which likely would make for a much better bite. Finally, and this is just a personal peeve, I really dislike sitting at tables where the neighboring tables are so close that you feel like you are having a meal with them. The people next to us had a champagne bucket and in order to get up, I felt like I had to shimmy sideways or risk bumping into their Veuve! Overall a good experience.

A large group of ours were able to secure a portion of the back bar area for a holiday get together. Even without our group, I was pleasantly surprised how busy, well staffed, and operational Selvin's was for a Thursday night. From one of our group members: "Great atmosphere. Lively but not too loud for conversation. Drinks were tasty, timely and interesting cocktail menu. Pizza was a bit under. Floppy, cheese wasn't fully melted. (Killed a perfectly good gin and tonic RIP) Marinara was nice, it was just rushed. Needed another 2-3 minutes in the oven. The entrees I scoped looked good with generous portions. Bar section only." Although I didn't eat the food this time around, I did try a variety of their appetizers and entrées during a previous event. Couple the food with the drink options, and the great service, I really recommend the community to try Selvin's. This is an establishment that can really elevate the NP/TO area. The lighted palm trees are literally a beacon to exit the freeway and stop by!

I'm from DTLA so I was a little scared to drive more than 1.5 hour but it was soooooo worth it. From start to finish. The appetizers were so dang delicious. We had the ahi tuna poke and arancini balls. Only thing I would recommend is to add a little kick to the tuna? It's Asian inspired so I was sad it was missing some sort of spice. The arancini balls were perfect!! Absolutely love the concept of having the protein on the side. Well balanced. For our mains- we had the salmon and napa half chicken. Presentation? 10/10!!! And The salmon was probably the best I ever had. Very different. The sauce and corn underneath. Yummy yummy. The drinks? Listen... if you like strong strong drinks, THIS IS YOUR SPOT! :) Our server was Alissa. She was the sweetest! Never felt rushed or unwelcome. She was also funny so it was a whole vibe. The ambiance- ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I have no words. The big open windows are a dream. I could sit out back in the patio seating all day long.

First time visiting this restaurant. Waiter was fabulous and on top of everything- we were a 16 people party- Great service Pizza "margarita" was fire . Appetizer "cauliflower" which was suggested by waiter, not something I would normally order was tasteful. Steak on the other hand was mediocre which is why I'm giving a 4/5. Overall it was a fun place and very clean with beautiful flower wall for memorable pictures. The drinks were strong & tasteful. This is the kinda place you dress nice.

I found a new favorite restaurant in the area. The food and cocktails that I ordered except for the bread were all so delicious! The server (Cory) was so attentive and taking his time explaining things thoroughly. This place is so beautiful and great for a date night out or hang out with friends/family. Hope they are making some improvement for the bread they serve. It was a bit hard or chewy to my liking with some odd taste. Overall, it's definitely a come back for me in a near future.

This is definitely going to be the next hot spot! They have everything you would need for any occasion. I saw two parties celebrating their birthdays, couples on date nights and solo people who just wanted a quick meal at the bar. Not to mention; it's absolutely gorgeous!! I came here with my fiancé Tam, and I'm so happy to be her plus +1. Haha I enjoyed my time! The half chicken- highly recommended! Ask for Alison if you can. She was great. Made our experience hard to forget.

Selvin's is such a dreamy, romantic, and just vibey place perfect for birthdays, date nights, or just treating yourself to a dinner and drinks! Walking inside, the ambiance was 20/10. There is indoor seating at the bar, lounge areas, and themed dining rooms in addition to the main dining area. There is also an outdoor covered patio with seating and a huge rose wall for pictures. They know their audience! Just a beautiful location. For drinks, I highly recommend the Spirit for Spirit (it was so good I had two), Gemini Dreams, and the Pink Panteress. Best cocktails ever by far and each drink has a unique presentation. For food, you can't go wrong with anything! From the cauliflower, the smash burger, to the pizza...everything was so delish. I was just told that they will start their brunch service soon so I cannot wait to come back and bring the girls!

I booked an early dinner reservation for my husband's birthday dinner on a Saturday evening. There's lots of parking at the Palm Garden Hotel. We were greeted right away and got seated in the outdoor patio side for 2. Everyone was very attentive, especially our server Kendall. The weather was perfect for outdoor dining and viewing the open windows facing the palm trees. My husband ordered the Madman drink which comes with a pack of candy cigarettes. We shared an appetizer of fried calamari, which was good. For our entrees, we shared the seared scallop risotto and the spicy shrimp pizza. There's a lingering spice flavor to the shrimp pizza so be warned if you can't handle it lol There's a strong flavor to the risotto that balances well with the bread of the pizza so they pair well together :D For dessert, we shared a tiramisu which was light and not too sweet. It was my husband's favorite. We also received a complimentary birthday dessert which is 2 scoops of gelato in either chocolate, vanilla or hazelnut flavors (he chose chocolate so I could help him out haha). The gelato had a deep chocolate flavor and was my favorite :) Thank you Selvin's for a memorable birthday dinner. The rose wall is very instagram-worthy and the service was exceptional.

What a wonderful local addition! Fun vibe, beautiful aesthetic, great food and drink, and a wonderful staff. Joined in on a large party "Friendsgiving" celebration and they truly knocked it out of the park. So incredibly accommodating and it was absolutely appreciated. Enjoyed every minute, will be back again very soon!

Always like to try new places. This restaurant came highly recommended from friends and great yelp reviews. Four of us for dinner. Everything was great. Drinks, food, and exceptional service. A great addition to our area. We will definitely recommended to our friends and family. Will most definitely be back.

They only opened on the 21st, so I was skeptical of the dozen 5-star reviews that were posted prior to that date, since those would be family and friends. Nice to have their support, but I wasn't counting on them to be subjective. On the other hand, I saw a lone 3-star review from someone who claimed to have tried multiple items and thought they were all flavorless. Suspiciously she had never reviewed any other establishment. Could they be a competitor? But I digress... Easy parking in the large lot at 7pm on a Saturday. Arrived by myself with no reservation, but assumed I'd find bar seating. The beautiful, tastefully-designed interior was pretty full. And I was able to snag the only available bar seat! The was a bartender just to my right who was busy with people coming up to order drinks. Probably 8 or so others behind the bar and everyone seemed quite busy so I waited. Probably took 5 minutes but it seemed longer. I wasn't in any rush and was enjoying looking around. Finally Steven approached and asked if I had been helped. I said I was interested in dinner and he gave me a menu and setup. I was impressed by the leather-looking mat and drink coaster. Better than a standard folded cloth napkin. But probably good to protect the wood bar. The flatware also had a welcome heft. I had wanted to start with the Steak Tartar that I had seen on an online menu. Unfortunately that was nowhere to be found. Steven said they hoped to bring it back. I opted for the Golden Corn Agnolotti, having brown butter, charred corn, and sourdough crumble. Agnolotti are long "pillows" stuffed with amazing goodness. Beautifully presented. Sized to share, but also too delicious to share. Get your own! I then asked Steve for his entree recommendation. The seared scallop risotto seemed like a no-brainer, but he said it would be a toss up between that and the Napa Half Chicken Roulette. His description of the latter sold me. Sort of a deconstructed chicken - the skin is removed, as are the bones, and the white and dark meat are then wrapped back up in the skin which crisps perfectly when cooked. Perfect slices were then placed standing next to each other on top of a creamy, rich white sauce and nestled next to colorful cauliflower and smoked paprika couscous. Kudos to the Chef. The plate used had a beautiful blue scrollwork border - again unlike a standard restaurant. Obviously I saved room for dessert. The strawberry cheesecake that I saw had just been served its last portion. So I went with an affogato and the tiramisu. The former had the best presentation I've seen. A martini glass rimmed with crushed espresso beans and chocolate. The scoop of ice cream had a delicate white chocolate leaf on top. The espresso was on the side, ready for me to pour. Perfect! The tiramisu likewise was beautifully plated. A sizable square, yet it was light, airy, and delicious. For most of the evening it seemed like each bartender just took care of his or her own patrons. There was a time I was unable to get Steve's attention for a water refill. Amanda noticed it and took care of me. She then asked how everything was. When I gushed over the food she remarked "we like to hear that." As she left I commented to the man beside me that she must be the lead. He asked why I thought that. I pointed out how she was the only person beside Steven who offered to help me, she asked how everything was, she was happy I enjoyed it, and she interacted with others as though she knew what she was doing. He nodded his agreement. When I saw Amanda again to ask her name I also asked if she was the lead or a manager. She said no - that everyone works together. Well, my experience was different, but perhaps everyone was just getting used to the flow. She stood out and did help others. Huge asset. As good as everything was, I'll take it up a notch next time and find the area she primarily covers. No slight meant to Steven. I'll be back soon!

Good vibes and the ambiance is floral with a spring like feel. It wasn't busy so the service was good even though they brought us the wrong order. I had chilaquiles and my daughter had yogurt. It was pretty good. It wasn't foodgasmic but I didn't expect that either. The correct was pretty good as well I normally drink it black but it wasn't burnt, acidic or overly bitter. Definitely would come again with a larger group.

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Selvin's Restaurant + Lounge! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. I kicked off my evening with a perfectly crafted lemon drop that set the tone for the rest of the night. The spicy coppa pizza, enhanced with added pepperoni, was a delightful start--bursting with flavor and just the right amount of heat. The smash burger was another hit, especially with the delicious bacon onion jam that took it to another level. The seared Pacific halibut was cooked to perfection, and the roasted chicken breast with its vibrant lemon jus was simply divine. Service was attentive and friendly, though you can tell they're still ironing out a few kinks since they just opened. The ambience strikes a nice balance of upscale without being pretentious. I particularly loved the wallflower decor--absolutely perfect for photos! Selvin's is a fantastic new spot in town, and I highly recommend checking it out if you have the chance. I'll definitely be back again soon!

I came on a Thursday night around 7pm to grab drinks and a dessert with my bestie and this place was packed! We had to find seating at the outdoor patio bar and I did not expect it to be so busy on a weekday. The place is super cute and I like how the crowd is mixed with all ages and you can dress up or down - no dress code. The red ropes outside the entrance door is too much for me as it doesnt fit the vibe of the surrounding area (this place really belongs in Westlake Village), but that's just my opinion. The tiramisu was fluffy and amazing along with the drinks we got with it too. It was the other yelpers who posted pictures that drew me in to check it out. I also appreciated that they offered mocktails. The food coming out looked good and I will be back to have date night with the hubby.

Atmosphere was very cool. We sat on the outside by the open window. We started out with the focaccia bread and the amazing butter! Would definitely get that again. Also ordered the cauliflower which was so colorful and fun looking. Taste pretty good. For dinner we shared the scallops with risotto which was delicious, the margarita pizza, and the penne pesto pasta. Margarita pizza's cheese didn't taste cooked. Had a weird consistency and penne pesto pasta didn't have any flavor. Waitress graciously took the pasta away and offered us dessert instead. We had a bottle of NSO which was very good. Overall good experience, they just need to tighten up on the flavoring!

Enjoyed this place, their drinks are fun, different & tasted great! It's beautiful inside, & the prices reflects it. lol but what place now-a-days isn't pricey. The food was decent, we ordered appetizers; cauliflower, calamari, and the poki. My friend enjoyed the cauliflower. I liked the calamari. The Poki was okay, I've had better. The service was great! I'll be back again, Saw a lot of pizza's coming out so I'll be trying that next time!

Wonderful service, fresh ingredients, and delicious food! We tried Selvin for the first time last night. Overall, we enjoyed our dining experience there and would definitely return. Located at the Palms Hotel in Newbury Park, this restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating with trendy decor. Parking is ample in front of the restaurant. We made our reservation online, and it was a breeze at check-in. The menu was small but contained diverse offerings of meat, seafood, and vegetarian dishes. For the appetizer, I had the tuna poke, and it was among the best I had ever had. The tuna was super fresh, and the sauce really made the dish tasted very refreshing. For the entree, I had the scallop risotto. While I loved the generous serving of jumbo sized scallops, I did not like the taste of the parmasean truffle foam at the edge, which tasted a little bitter. As for the service, our waitress was very friendly and helpful. Our table was cleaned after our appetizer, and we were given new utensils for our next course. Our bill came to around $100 for an appetizer and two entrees, which was very reasonable with the quality of the meal. Highly recommend!

Selvin's is attached to the Palm Garden Hotel and it is where culinary excellence meets a passion for creating spaces for people to come together to savor life's moments. Every dish tells a tale and every moment is infused with the timeless charm of hospitality and music. My parents and I tried a variety of things on the menu: To eat- -Gold Corn Agnolotti (Brown Butter, Charred Corn, Sourdough Crumble). This was amazing and could eat several. -Seared Scallop Risotto (Spring pea risotto, Mushroom Conserva, Parmesan truffle foam, Pepitas). HEAVENLY! -Seared Pacific Halibut (Braised Cabbage, Caramelized Parsnip Puree, Sunchoke Chips, Smoked Roe Citrus Butter Sauce). It was good but not my ultimate favorite. To drink- -Bruzu (Vodka, Yuzu, Cold Brew, Vanilla, Fizz) -Pink Panthress (Tequila, Lofi Gen Amaro, Grapefruit, Honey, Coconut and Cinnamon Foam). The foam really made it. It is a trendy environment that was much needed in the Conejo Valley and I will be back!

Very cute atmosphere wonderful drink menu but just know that the drinks are not big they're in little glasses. I think they could make them a little larger for the money to be honest I got the chicken roulette that was really tasty however again the sides were very few I got a little bit of couscous and literally like two potato chips on top of the meal where I saw one person have like a ton of potato chips I only had two overall though it's a nice little place and I will go back

Have been wanting to try Selvin's since it opened and when I heard they were doing a brunch in collaboration with Veuve Clicquot I made reservations immediately. Love that I can make reservations online too! As we were walked back to our table I was able to look around at the decor. It's pretty roomy so I feel even if the tables are full you won't feel squished walking around. The outdoor area has these big windows they open up which looked so nice as we left once the morning had warmed up. It had a nice upscale look but overall felt very chill. Our server was very helpful in going over the menu and portion sizes. We had originally planned on getting a larger variety of things but the portion sizes were very generous. Of course I had to start with the new Veuve Clicquot Rich which is their latest champagne that is meant to be served over ice. It was a bit sweeter than I prefer but paired so well with our food. We decided on the fried chicken with a bump of caviar and truffle fries. They had an onion dip on the menu too, but because of the size we didn't want to add it to our already hefty order. Well they decided to add in a small bit of the dip on the side with the order which was such a wonderful surprise. Plus I felt it went really well with the whole setup. Either with the fries or chicken that onion dip was so good. The full order would definitely go well for a snacks and drinks trip to the bar. I will say the fried chicken really exceeded my expectations as it was very crispy while the meat stayed tender and moist. I often have trouble with bone in fried chicken but this time it was definitely not a problem because it was so yummy. Towards the end I ordered a coffee to combat the post-brunch food coma. We were unable to finish everything but the remainder of our brunch we ate for dinner. I say take a bigger group and order a variety to share because if the rest of the menu is as good as what we had this time you're gonna wanna try a bit of everything and the portions are big enough to share amongst 3-4 people. Looking forward to coming back with friends to try more from their menu and hopefully this meal becomes a part of the regular menu lineup!

Great atmosphere. Good food. Delicious drinks. And attentive staff. This place is one of Thousand Oak's best.

I attended a holiday party at the hotel and popped into the restaurant for a quick drink. The restaurant is beautiful! The girl with the black hair behind the bar was very helpful! I ordered the non alcoholic chard. Yes they have that there! It was ok but I was impressed to see N/A wine on the menu. My husband had a beer and enjoyed it. Excited to come back and have dinner!

I tried Selvins brunch for the first time with my wife. Today we specifically came for the Veuve Cliquot Brunch with specials on their menu, we opted for the Fried chicken , truffle fries, and caviar setup. The concept was stellar and well executed. If you haven't had the pleasure of having fried clean and caviar, you're a really missing out. The fried chicken was so well made. Crispy and cragly fried chicken that we found out is brined for 14 hours and then fried. It was juicy and seasoned perfectly. The truffle fries come with a smokey sauce that is absolutely addicting. Topping things off with the caviar and a combining the French onion dip with the crunchy fried chicken is chefs kiss. My partner has the champagne and rounded out this perfect meal. I opted for their coffee which is the only brand and no notes, absolutely brewed to perfection without needing anything else. I also got their Singapore Sling mocktail, which reminded me of smarties or like pixie stix. After sampling a few drinks here I definitely think they tend to sleep towards the tart side vs sweet. Which I personally enjoy. A common theme is the portion sizes are quite generous as we were seated by the kitchen, we saw other tables plates and you get such a great deal for what you pay for. I honestly think everything on their menu is perfect for sharing. Selvins is connected the the recently renovated Palms hotel on Ventu. Great place for groups with an indoor dining room, a patio with open windows, separate rooms for small group parties, and two bars. Their decor is elegant but comfortable and not too stuffy. You will find the bars showcasing sports and the seating feels very lounge-like with different types of seating options from tables to booth to bar to lounge seating. The service is too notch and feel they pride themselves in ensuring their guests are well taken care of here, as was mentioned to me was the late Selvin's way of hospitality. And it's honestly something that makes you feel welcomed throughout your meal. There's a lot more for me personally to explore on the menu and having a place like this in Newbury Park is something special. Whether you have a special occasion to celebrate or just want to enjoy a nice meal with folks, Selvins definitely should be on your list of places to venture out to in the Conejo Valley.

I am blown away! This is easily going to become my new favorite place. The ambience is perfection. Every space feels like a place you want to hang out in for a while. The service was the BEST. Everyone there was so kind, friendly, and on top of everything. Then the food... to DIE FOR. everything was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to go back again and again.

I had the pleasure of enjoying a full tasting menu at the Yelp Elite Event. I started with the "Gemini Rights" cocktail with Mezcal. I never turn down Mezal and this did not disappoint. It came with a flaming flower on top! My second cocktail was "The Bride" which is a Japanese Whiskey drink. The Coconut, Ginger, and Egg Foam make it a creamy delicious drink, and it comes with an edible, "Buzz Button Flower" that changes the flavor of the drink. "Buzz Button", who am I to question? The whole tasting menu was lovely but I thought the start was Seared Scallop. The sampling menu was a perfectly grilled scallop on yummy mushroom and pea risotto. This will be something I will be ordering as a full entre when I return (see the pic). The filet set was lovely, but how can you lose with duck fat potatoes. I was also a big fan of the Hamachi Crudo, was excellent with a fruity flavor. We also had unique arancini balls with crispy prosciutto (yumm). The chive creme fresh, the kales, sales, the chicken roulette, and the smash burger were also great. The service was spectacular and to be expected for the event, but I have high confidence that this will be repeated when I return. They kept bringing us off menu stuff too. How can I forget the duck confit pizza, and the dessert! I have not mentioned the venue but this place is very beautiful too. It is definitely trying to be the place to be for HH in this part of town. The flower wall with a built-in selfie stand. I will definitely be back!

I've been here 4 or 5 times now, so it's time for a review. I'm really glad to have Selvin's in the neighborhood. We don't really have anything else like it. It's beautiful and trendy, upscale. I've had many things on the menu. Memorable items are the Chive Creme Fraiche Dip (100% addicting), Hamachi Crudo, Duck Confit Pizza, Prime Filet (the real star of that plate is the potato - trust me), Steak Frites, and chicken and waffle on the brunch menu. They also used to have a Napa chicken entree that was outstanding, so if it's on their specials, I highly recommend it. Just a couple of observations I've made since I've been there a few times. The cocktail service can be slow, and the dishes have been a little inconsistent. The last time I had the Filet, it was completely undercooked. We're talking purple. And the Napa chicken's skin wasn't as crispy as the first time I had it, and the puree was completely different, and not good. So I think just getting things more consistent in the kitchen, and maybe getting the bartender some help and this could be 5 stars. A happy hour program would be nice as well. Cheers!!

I love the decor of this new gem. Went to celebrate a birthday. The food was amazing and the service great. Easy parking and was greeted as soon as we walked in. I will definitely be back with family and friends.

Selvin's Restaurant & Lounge is new, trendy and super cute. I'm going to be honest, I enjoyed the ambiance and the music they had playing. They definitely know how to create good vibes. Whether you're on a date, with your girl friends, family, the restaurant seemed to fit the bill for all occasions. Our server was very attentive and had great customer service. We couldn't decide on a glass of wine to order so she let us taste test some which was super cool of her. What was ordered: the ahi tuna poke, sourdough focaccia, grilled gem green caesar, smashed burger and the shrimp pizza. Starting with the ahi tuna poke, very cute presentation. There was too much seed action going on for me though. The poke as well as the crispy wonton had furikaki/seed seasoning which was a bit overpowering. I still enjoyed it. The sourdough focaccia is something I ordered after seeing a comment on yelp stating is was "to die for" The sourdough focaccia we were served was not the freshest so I would not say it was to die for, but the squash blossom butter was a great compliment. The grilled gem green salad was good, can't really go wrong with a salad. The smashed burger could have used a bit more love, compared to the other pictures ours looked a bit boring. If you love bacon jam that's great, if you don't mind or you're eh about it , you will taste mostly bacon jam. I would also like to add it tastes like breakfast, if you're a breakfast for dinner type person this is for you. The shrimp pizza was good. I was looking forward to this dish the most out of everything because hello? shrimp on pizza, yes please. I can definitely taste the lemon zest in the first bite then as I bite more I get a kick of chili. To me it's not spicy, but it depends on your spice level. Overall, I enjoyed dining in! The vibes were great, love the decor and they definitely care about providing great service. :D I wouldn't say I was wowed by the food, it was good, but some things could have been a tiny bit better.

Enjoyed the NYE prefix menu. Had a wonderful experience and great service aside from an employee causing a scene and yelling at our professional, kind waitress "Rebecca". Sad to see our great waitress "Rebecca", who went above and beyond for us, treated this way, and it really put a damper on our time at Selvin's

Genessa is a marvel! I arranged a small and intimate birthday dinner for my bestie and Genessa made our evening! She was attentive, provided recommendations, helped us cut a pie we brought for dessert and suggested drinks and desserts to complete our celebration!

YIKES. I'm super bummed about this place. I've been eyeing it since I found out it was coming, then saw an influencer Reel on Instagram about their "absolutely next-level brunch experience". So we booked a Sunday brunch for my daughter's 5th birthday along w our close friends, another young family of 4. We pulled up to a beautiful outdoor space that made us excited to be there. We were greeted and sat as soon as we walked in. This is where it started to go downhill. The guy who brought waters told us he wasn't our server but asked if there were any drinks that need to go in urgently. We appreciated this gesture. We said no, not urgently, as we assumed it wouldn't be 25 minutes later until we finally got our 1st visit from our actual server... who has JUST clocked in. We gave him our very thorough full order during his 1st visit. From there, it took another 20 minutes to get drip coffee and lemonades for the kids. Our Smoked Salmon Flatbread was brought out for the adults to share and it was absolutely beautiful, but SO tough and chewy that we were ripping at it w our teeth like animals. Still no cocktails. In this time, we told the front desk woman, another server and then finally our server (when we finally saw him) of our current experience. He said "I'm doing the best I can, I only just clocked in 30 minutes ago". ‍ From there, we got our mains and this is where the extra star comes from... the mains were great. The kids' waffles were particularly amazing, the Pork Belly dish was flavorful and overall really enjoyable. The kids plates were probably 120 degrees, WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?? We transferred their food to the plates that came on the table. Everyone else enjoyed their mains as well, once our vegetarian friend had to take the Canadian bacon off her Eggs Benedict that she clearly requested when she placed the order. The server, extremely awkward at this point, came and told us our 1st round of drinks was on them. Sadly, that was our only round of drinks as by the time they were all on our table we were nearly done w our meals. Someone explain to me how a Michelada takes 45 minutes. The place was barely half full, there was a kid nonstop screaming (not their fault) but overall NOTHING like the "next-level brunch experience" we saw in the reel online. We skipped any kind of birthday singing just to get the F out of there before our kids turned into pumpkins from sitting in that heat for an hour and a half. To top it all off, they gave us the bill w a 20% automatic gratuity for a large party. 4 adults and 4 toddlers. My guess is they knew this was their only saving grace to even get a tip. I am much more fueled to leave reviews by positive experiences but the really horrible ones just have to happen sometimes... in hopes it helps them get their act together or save someone else from the same letdown. We will NEVER ever go back, regardless of the pros.

We love Selvin's! The stunning decor and social vibe is on point with what our town needed! Upscale dining and ambiance. The Butternut Squash Risotto was so amazing! We celebrated with about 20 of our friends this evening and everyone had a great time. Golf tournament, a birthday and a going away party all in one. Selvin's handled us with care! Thank you to Alana and Alec for the excellent and superb service.

This place is a gem! The vibe is very LA or SB...it is a must to visit. We sat on the patio which is covered and decor is warm and inviting. All the staff is welcoming and we were definitely taken care of. Our server Mia F went above and beyond to enhance our experience. She made suggestions for meals/drinks and checked in on us throughout our meal. The smash burger was great....loved the onion jam. We went to brunch...can't wait to go back for their dinner menu.

Great experience at Selvin's! Went as a large group with coworkers and had a very pleasant evening. Parking was ample at 8pm on a Friday night and the large lot was easy to find. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive throughout the entirety of the evening. I am vegan and he was helpful in finding me a delicious entree--he talked to the chef to ensure my food was perfect! I got the margarita pizza with vegan cheese and it was delicious. My friends loved the calamari and spicy shrimp pizza. The ambiance was energetic and romantic. I definitely want to return here for a special occasion.

I would give them a 3.5 if I could. I can't say enough about the decor, the theming, the overall space and vibe. Just gorgeous and fun. We came at brunch. We ordered four dishes and the best one I didn't get a pic of. It was the breakfast flatbread - add the bacon and avocado. The French toast was labeled as crunchy - no obvious crunch and didn't have a lot of flavor. The chicken and waffles had delicious chicken but the waffle was a liege waffle which wasn't the right texture for chicken and waffles. The shakshuka had great flavor and good toasties. The bread basket is a no go - two croissants and very hard pain d'epi. Not worth it. Service was friendly overall.
