Selva

Horrible experience on a Saturday night 3/2. The hostess had a very rude attitude. When we asked for a follow up on our table (which there were 5 open at the time) she would just walk away from us. We were about to leave due to her unprofessional and other people got involved so we could get seated. The food is great.

This place is amazing has to be in the top 5 LB restaurants.

Unique dishes that taste incredible and cocktails to match. Great gem in Long Beach.

One of my favorite local spots that pays real good attention to quality, flavor and experience. Great for date night or Sunday brunch. I don’t drink, but the bar looks top notch too. Also, bonus points because most of the menu is gluten free because we all have that one friend who’s sensitive. Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options!!

One of the worst service experiences I’ve ever encountered. I made a reservation online, which required a CC. That’s fine. I called the restaurant since we were running late, asked to move the reservation back. When we arrived late, the table was already given away. But they offer to put my name on the wait list and we get a text when a table became available. Within 10 mins of waiting I as charged $30 for the reservation. Who does that? We were there, yes 15 mins after the reservation time. But still wanted to dine at the restaurant and give them money. I asked why they charged this and if this is taken off when we dine. They said no. They want to charge even if you eat there! Kayley(?) was rude. This could have been avoided and we could have eaten and maybe even enjoyed it. But this is horrible service and if they treat customers as poorly as this, they don’t deserve anyone’s business.

I hope they just had a rough night last night but the service was some of the worst i’ve had in recent memory. it took almost 10 minutes to even have someone say hi to us after we were seated. another 10 minutes for a drink menu. ordered 3 small plates that came out 1 at a time. which is fine we weren’t in a rush but was never once checked on about if food was good or if we wanted more (scallops and octopus were good, fried rice was okay). was still really hungry so i finally flagged someone down to order the pork chop but i wish i didn’t. really dry pork chop and once again no one ever checked on us to see how it was going. spent over 2 hours and $200 (2 drinks each, only got beer and wine because the bar looked stressed) and left disappointed and hungry.

Excellent Colombian brunch. The pork belly was crispy and well seasoned with just the right amount of fat. The selva steak and eggs plate was a great sampler of many of their dishes. The service is great and friendly. I had the carajillo coffee cocktail with brandy, which was good, but not my favorite. My other friends loved it though. Definitely recommend this place and will come again!

Great food and service!
