Reviews for Selden Standard in Detroit, MI
First of all, the price on yelp are completely different. Half dozen of oysters is $20. Octopus is $26 or $28. Grouper is $34.... Food is ok, service is pretty good. If you have been to very fancy restaurants in NY or any big cities. You don’t have to trythis one. Read more
Type of place where everything on the menu is amazing. You can really expand horizons and try something you wouldn’t normally... order. Service is also really excellent. In my experience if they are running slow they’ve brought out extra plates or if theyrandomly had given a chipped glass comped the drink without it being mentioned. Read more
This is the best restaurant in the city, if not the state, and you’re making a mistake if you’ve come this far and not... booked a reservation yet! My partner and I recently dined on 7/10/22 and if there’s one thing that can enhance an alreadyexcellent dining experience, it’s a quality server. I will *always* ask for, and recommend, Andrew to be my guide through thealways rotating plates at Selden Standard. On our trip, we got beef tartare, spicy green salad, potato gnocchi, roastedcarrots, and a full sea bream as our entree. For dessert, we split a strawberry tart and half of an ice cream sandwich. Theysomehow find a way to make the simplest sounding dishes something extraordinary. For as long as I live within driving distance,I will consider Selden Standard *the* destination for a foodie’s dream date night. So, book your reservation now, ask forAndrew, and let the very knowledgeable staff guide you through a food experience you won’t soon forget. Read more
We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner here on June 30th, and it was FANTASTIC. We had 19 guests in total and utilized the... private dining room and were served by Andrew. He was absolutely amazing with keeping up with drinks and our busy group.Everyone was raving about the food, service and drinks. All of our out of town guests were in shock with how perfect everythingwas. Read more

I am comfortable and confident making this statement: Selden Standard is THE BEST restaurant in Michigan. I visited Selden... Standard for the first time in 2018 and have been a returning customer ever since, never once having a dish any less than a10/10. Words to describe Selden: Dreamy, Euphoric, Exquisite. It awakens and introduces you to taste buds that you didn’t knowexisted. Selden Standard is a consciously and seasonally sourced farm-to-table restaurant. The local farms and small businessesthat they use are listed at the bottom of their frequently rotating menu. The service is beautiful, passionate, caring,unpretentious and patient. The Wait Staff are all incredibly knowledgeable about the cuisine on the menu and are alway eager toguide you in the right direction. Andrew is a personal favorite, as his service is above and beyond. I recommend Selden for aromantic date night OVER a steak house (recommend reservations!) OR a solo foodie trip at the Chef’s Counter. I would say 3plates PER person to share is a great place to start. My personal favorite seasonal items are their rabbit, swordfish, trout,and vegetable carpaccio. Pictured below are dishes from our latest experience on May 8, 2022: Warm Spinach Salad with poachedegg, Rabbit Ragu with pistachio pesto, BBQ Celery Root with grits and chow chow, Roasted Potatoes with miso and pickled pepper,and Pork Milanese.

Even though their menu changes often and you may not be able to experience the exact same food we had tonight, please believe... that every dish we ordered from start to finish was amazing and the service was just as impeccable! You have to go no matterthe occasion from business to a nice dinner and if you can, request to be sat in Ryan’s area, they need this man at everyrestaurant because his attention to detail was beyond words, quite frankly make this man the manager if he doesn’t have itcoming already!!! Overall 6 of 5 stars cause sh*t! Read more
Great experience and food! Solid service and cozy environment! The charcoal grills and wood oven are mesmerizing to look at if... you dine at the chef’s counter. Highly recommend it +++ Read more
