Bay Area | Old Money Vibes at Selby's ✨ A Fine Dining Experience
Obsessed with the ambiance here! 💖 *Glittering chandeliers* everywhere, and the 2nd-floor tables have *perfect* mood lighting. Celebrated DaBao & Siqi's birthdays—ended up taking *a million photos* after dinner! 📸🎉 Though it's $125 for 3 courses , the portions are *generous* (we couldn't finish!). The birthday surprise was such a sweet touch! 🎂💝 Starters 🍞 Butter Bread Classic *warm* American butter bread—*crispy crust*, served on a *heated plate*. 10/10 ! 🦪 Oysters *Lemon + celery* = MAX freshness ! 🌊💦 🥗 Tuna Tartare *Thick-cut tuna* 🥺 + *fragrant olive oil* + crispy potato chips & tomato. *Perfect appetizer!* 🦞 Lobster Cake (forgot the name lol) *Half seared lobster* with sweet sauce, *half crab-veg mix* in pastry. Beautiful AND filling! Mains 🥩 Beef Wellington *Mushroom duxelles + steak + flaky pastry*—absolute perfection . 🎯 🦆 Roasted Duck *Mushrooms + scallops* = *earthy freshness*. Duck was *slightly sweet*—wish the skin was crispier! 🐤 Forgot-This-Entrée *Pretty but mysterious...* 😂 Desserts 🎂 Got a complimentary birthday macaron mousse (so cute!). Their desserts *aren’t overly sweet*: 🍓 Strawberry-Cranberry Sorbet : Light & refreshing 🍫 Chocolate Cake : Rich but *not* heavy 🍰 Fruit Tart : *Too much crust* 🥵 🍨 Cocoa Ice Cream : *3 scoops*—YESSS ✌️ Bonus : Post-meal *chocolates + plum candies* (but I was *too stuffed* to enjoy them fully). 🍬😅 🍷 Wine Note : Their *by-the-glass* options are great for tasting! 🥂 #100RestaurantsChallenge #BayAreaEats #FineDining #SpecialOccasion #Selbys
