The entire experience was top notch. I couldn’t have asked for a better waitstaff than Miguel and the rest of the crew. Our dinner was amazing and highlighted our anniversary dinner. There was behavior coming from another party we could not control but the staff at Selanne’s handled it graciously. Selanne’s quality of steaks are currently unmatched. I’m pleased to know there are steakhouses that continue to provide outstanding service and splendid meals.
