I stumbled upon Selita’s Restaurant and Bar while scrolling through Google looking for an intimate spot for a solo night out, and it was exactly what I was looking for. The area is great, and a huge plus: there is plenty of street parking that is metered but free after 6 PM.
From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by one of the owners. I chose to sit at the bar, which allowed me to really take in the beautiful, sophisticated decor. The owner was incredibly nice and shared the history of the place and their vision for the future—it’s clear they truly care about the guest experience.
The menu is sharp, focused, and tantalizing. I opted for the special menu, and it was outstanding:
Appetizer: Large shrimp and asparagus in a red tomato sauce with toasted garlic bread. The flavors literally danced on my taste buds, finished with a perfect slight spicy kick.
Wine: I paired this with a beautiful, full-bodied white wine that complemented the meal perfectly.
Entree: The seafood pasta in a smooth, bold red sauce. Every piece of seafood was cooked to perfection and seasoned impeccably.
I can honestly say it was the best seafood pasta I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a spot with heart, style, and incredible food, Selita’s is it. I’ll definitely be back!
