    This is one of those rare places that makes you feel at home the moment you walk in. The vibe is cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. Whether you're coming in for a casual night out or celebrating something special, the atmosphere always delivers. The food is consistently outstanding. The clams are hands down some of the best I've had--perfectly cooked, fresh, and seasoned just right. For those who are vegan or just looking to explore new options, Selita's offers delicious plant-based dishes that go far beyond your typical fare. The tofu crab cakes and other vegan plates are packed with flavor and creativity. It's clear the kitchen puts a lot of heart into every dish. And then there's the bar. Deanna is more than just the woman behind it. She brings soul and energy to the entire space. Her espresso martinis and margaritas are my go-tos, always mixed perfectly. But it's her warm smile and genuine hospitality that keep me coming back time and time again. She's truly a highlight of the experience at Selita's. The owner and staff as a whole are amazing. You can feel the pride and care in how they treat their guests. There's something special about a place where the people remember your name, your favorite drink, and always make you feel like part of the family. I love this place and can't recommend it enough. Great food, great drinks, great people.

    Food was very good , ambience and music were inviting. Staff/owner were friendly and personable.

    Negroni, oyster mushrooms linguine
    Daniella B.

    Such an amazing restaurant! They have a full vegan menu as well as a regular one. I got the vegan linguine with oyster mushrooms and it tasted so delicious. Their drinks are good too, and the staff is so friendly and nice. The owner (I'm assuming) is so sweet and was willing to make any dietary changes. Will be dining here again for sure!

    The food looked amazing, but I never got to try it because my order was forgotten. I had to flag down the waitress just to place my order, which then took another hour to arrive. I ended up taking it to go. While my missing order was an honest mistake, the people I was with ordered the seafood combo with white wine sauce, but it was served with a red sauce. When they pointed it out, the dish was taken back, and within 10 minutes, it was returned as a "white wine sauce" version--except it had clearly been rinsed with water and had sliced garlic added, with no oil or proper preparation. Completely unacceptable. When the Italian guest in our group pointed out the issue, the restaurant apologized but did not offer a refund. She didn't even eat the dish. P.s. could you please ask if the customers are finished with their food before attempting to take it away?

    Steak with broccoli rabe and roasted potatoes

    Had a wonderful experience here. Everything was excellent - food, service and ambiance. Our meals were cooked perfectly. The pasta was loaded with big shrimp and was so tasty and the steak was tender and delicious. Our servers were so friendly and attentive. Great experience!

    Awful. Avoid at all costs. Airline level food. Loud TV. Chinzy fake flowers. Rushed service- even though we were the only folk there.

Some of the breweries on tap at the time included Oxbow, Drowned Lands, Threes, and Monkish. Interest cocktail menu. Solid selection of whiskeys too. We picked up a large takeout order. Everything was packed neatly and there were no errors. I had the fried chicken sandwich came with potato poppers. Came with pickles and aioli on a brioche bun. Pricey at $21. Chicken was crispy and juicy. It traveled fairly well on our 10 minute trip from the restaurant. I also tried the periogies as well as the stuffed pepper and fries which came with a couple different entrees. All in all, definitely a tier above nearly all tavern food. Staff was very personable and accommodating while we waited for our order. Modern yet cozy atmosphere. Sleek bar with a huge counter. Large communal table by the bar. Good spot for groups of nearly any size.

A few minutes later, two couples who are regulars arrived & sat at the bar near me. They told me that very soon I'll see the place packed with the usual Friday customers, and they were right! It was nice being included in conversation as if I was a regular along with them. The bartender greeted me promptly & gave me a drink & food menu. I ordered two lychee blossom drinks which I've had before, if I see a lychee drink on the menu I will usually go with that drink. Was given bread along with a white sauce that tasted good, one of the couples passed their marinara dish for me to try my bread with & that was good as well. I ordered meatballs from the appetizer menu to bring home, they were good as always. I knew they had different specials on different days and was hoping there was a happy hour menu at the bar, but I did not see any specials for Fridays.

We came in on a Friday night and had a great time. The vibe and decor is Tuscan with lots of brick and wood around giving a warm feeling. Adding to the warm feeling was the friendly staff - the hostess gave us a 4 top despite us only being 2. They must have knew how much food we were going to order haha. We were given bread with an interesting spread that was tasty, but still not sure what it was exactly. Ordered some red wines. We looked over the menu to decide on some dishes to share. Here's the run down: CARCIOFO BRASATE CON BURRATA BRAISED BABY ARTICHOKES, WITH PISTACHIO PESTO AND BURRATA This was really enjoyable and with creamy burrata and delicious pistachio pesto that was perfect with the tender baby artichokes PARMIGIANA DI MELANZANA Eggplant meatballs were so good with so much flavor - didn't miss the meat at all. Fantastic sauce with this as well. BIETOLA & FUNGHI salad ROASTED RED BEET, MARINATED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS, ORGANIC BABY ARUGULA, GOAT CHEESE, WHITE BALSAMIC VINEGAR DRESSING The presentation of this dish was impressive with circles of beets acting as bed for the salad. It was different from the usual chunks of beets in most salads. I enjoyed this salad SPAGHETTI AL LIMONE IMPORTED ORGANIC SPAGHETTI, MEYER LEMON, PARMIGGIANO, FRESH BASIL We asked the kitchen to split this dish for us and they accommodated. The cheesy lemony pasta was perfect and paired well with spicy shrimp dish we ordered. GAMBERI UBRIACATI WILD BLUE SHRIMP, SWEET CHERRY TOMATOES, PANCETTA, CORN, CRISPY BREAD, RED PEPPER FLAKES These shrimps were really incredibly tasty - I usually don't order shrimp dishes in restaurants because they usually give a bit of chlorinated taste. Not here. The sauce was spicy with the pancetta and corn adding sweetness. For dessert we shared the brownie topped with pistachio gelato. The brownie was unremarkable, but the gelato was good. The espressos were perfectly made. The place was busy all night with a few open tables - the service encouraged us to sit allowing us to really enjoy our night. A fantastic experience.

I can't give 5 stars as the dining we struggle with .. Service is up and down. Both occasions felt the same. For Prime 39, I categorized the place as a restaurtant that happens to provide fine dining, but has an upscale feel. The music selection is really good here and the selection feeds into the upscale feeling with a good mix of R&B. We arrived promptly for our reservation but noted that it took a while to seat us, even though the dining room was empty. I do appreciate the dividers as they give you some privacy when sitting next to another group. The wait was uncomfortably long, which made us wonder if we should change our reservation to sit at the bar. We ordered drinks and water, but it took a while for the drinks to make their way to the table. The place wasn't that busy, but it did make us want to rush our order in for appetizers and entrees. Drinks were watery... As in sitting too long stir up the ice and keep stirring. The food had some winners. We enjoyed our entrees of Branzino, Burger, Cajun Shrimp Pasta as well as our appetizers which included lamb chops and Calamari. We also had a mini-chicken and waffles appetizer... Really good. I haven't seen this before and glad I tried it. Although we did enjoy the entrees, we left the drinks. From my experience I would suggest visiting the bar but I would place an order to go.

The owner and his wife are usually there working and they're both so warm and welcoming. They always take the time to stop by each table to say hello and make sure everyone's happy, which really adds a personal touch you don't find often anymore. The food is consistently amazing, one of my absolute favorites is the fried burrata with honey drizzle (trust me, it's a must-try!). The cheeseburger, pasta dishes, and chicken are all incredible -- everything I've had has been a solid 10/10. You can really tell they put care into every detail, from presentation to flavor.

My husband had the pork shank, which was fall-apart tender with a rich cider sauce that was absolutely delicious. And the drinks -- my Tito's martini was perfect. Great food, warm service, and a cozy atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!
