Charming French brasserie in a historic house with standout onion soup, tartare, and cocktails; service can be slow and management rigid during busy events; prices sit on the premium side.
Maison Selby delivers solid neighborhood dining anchored by exceptional historic ambiance and reliable cocktails, but inconsistent food quality—particularly with proteins—prevents grade A territory. Strong French onion soup and tartare showcase kitchen capability, yet stretched service during peak times and tight seating create friction. Best suited for those prioritizing atmosphere and cocktails over flawless execution.
One caveat: Holiday and prix-fixe events show real pacing issues and long waits
