The cocktails were just okay, but the real highlight was the vibe, great music and a super fun host who kept the party going all night.

Well, they got a new menu, prices went up 3.00 for lunch specials, which would have been fine if they gave you the same amount of food with the same Great taste. They fell short on both - the Aji de Gallina was the quarter of the size that they once offered and had absolutely no taste. Not sure how soon we will go back . The service- server spoke no English. The ambiance, well that spruced things up and it looks real nice. If only they Would go back to serving the tasty food with decent portions.

This was a first-rate, divine experience! Selva Grill was recommended to us as we were in town from…read moreTampa to see a show downtown and we cannot wait to come back for another visit. Everything we ordered was flavorful, well-plated and scrumptious. We were told the rack of lamb were a must-order and that dish did not disappoint! Amazing portions. We shared the ceviche (one was amberjack and the other was wahoo), the Zealand Rack of Lamb, with truffle chive risotto, roasted asparagus, macadamia nut herb pesto & rosemary demi-glace and a chocolate dessert (can't remember exactly what it was but it was equally divine) - all spot on! The atmosphere and interior are comfortable and classy. We dined early at 4:30pm to catch our show and we marveled at how the restaurant filled up during our time there. See you again soon, Selva Grill!

There's just a ton of diff options you can't just find anywhere. They also started in Orlando which is where we have tried the first. They have one in Tampa and their newest location is in St. Pete. This time around we ordered Ceviche and Risotto. We loved both of these entrees, but they came and two completely different times. Like my husband's food was completely eaten by the time my ceviche came. The last two times our service wasn't good. I can see they only had two servers and when we came the restaurant was not busy but it quickly filled up after us. So we waited quite a bit of time with our food and the server did not update us or check on us. This restaurant is nice and clean and they have plenty of parking. I'm sure we will be back bc we both light up when we think of going back even if the service isn't the greatest. Hopefully next time, the server that we liked in the first place which we saw a few times will be back when we are back. He was the best. His name was Andres.

It's got a relaxing beach vibe with outside seating and a nice patio in the back with enough shade. I could tell that they host nightly entertainment here with a small stage. For lunch, I ordered the lobster maki roll. I'm not a big sushi fan, but I was intrigued. This lobster roll was one of the best sushi rolls I've had in a long time. Also ordered include the blackened grouper sandwich, billionaire burger, and tempura shrimp appetizer. Our group loved every entree. The cocktails were also refreshing. I really loved my jalapeño watermelon margarita. Our server was wonderful - very friendly and quick service. Definitely an enjoyable lunch or dinner spot!

We booked this place via OpenTable since it received great reviews. We ended up parking next door…read moresince parking was a bit hard to navigate. The parking place had ample parking where you needed a mobile app to pay for your parking. There was a larger souvenir store there if you needed to kill time before your seating. Once it was our time for our dinner reservations, we were greeted and seated at our table. Our waitress was a bit sarcastic or had a witty comments that didn't sit well with my kids. When ordering our foods, the kids asked what type of drinks they had since it was not listed on the menu. She said Coke but didn't elaborate that they had Coke products. Since she said Coke so fast our daughter didn't hear the response and asked her the question again where she just said that's a great question and ignored her and moved on. Food wise - we had the Peruvian ceviche, Peruvian chicken, I think I had a special grouper dish. The food was good. We were able to eat everything and the kids enjoyed their kids burger meals. Outside of the waitress comments, the place placed nice modern music to listen to and had the basketballs games playing on the tv at the bar.

I think it was mojo seasoned, but I could be wrong. Strong seasoning. The chicken was made before, not to order, it was hot. It was a little overcooked and extremely salty. I still enjoyed to be different than the typical you get at the store. They say "a la brasa", which means cooked with wood or charcoal, but I couldn't taste it at all, so I would say it was cooked with gas. Never again.
