Selah keeps on keeping on. Great food carefully prepared. Friendly attentive staff - ready and able to chat about what's going on in Sydney while not compromising service quality. Wine list reasonably priced and comprehensive especially in the reds. The scallop entree was delicate and beautifully balanced. The flathead and chips is a reliable classic. More

Excellent, contemporary cuisine, good choice. polite and attentive staff. Liked that it was mostly locals not tourists and at reasonable price for quality of food and dining experience. Only small criticism would be that courses were served a little too quickly so felt a bit rushed. Highly recommended :) More

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Selah. The cooking was first class, inventive, fresh and tasty. Good portions as well. Service was attentive and very friendly. A few minor niggles with slightly overdone veg and a mix up with orders - but this didn't really detract from a fabulous evening. Prices really not bad for central Sydney and the quality... More

We dined here for dinner on a Saturday night and it was surprisingly quite. However the dinner did not let as down. The wine menu was not expensive, but a good cross section to chose from including by the glass. All the dishes we had were very well seasoned and fresh. Unfortuantly we did not have room for desert.

Saw that this was highly rating on Trip advisor, so decided to try. Restaurant was quite busy but was given a table quite quickly (lucky I suppose). So, here is the run through of what we had. King prawns with goats cheese and herb ravioli, currants, zucchini, brown butter and herb crumbs - Prawns were very fresh and well pan... More

Food was delightful, and interesting, however wait staff didn't seem to think a question about a menu item was a question for her, and wasn't inclined to take it to the chef. More

I highly recomend the lamb. Being so well located and so perfect with service you would expect to pay top dollar! NO!!! this place is well... More
