Adam is a phenomenal waiter! I initially planned to do the tasting menu, but my party preferred the regular menu option. Appetizers were not as good as I anticipated. We ordered the steak tartare and dozen oysters. I have had way better. Steak tartare was mediocre at best (I would definitely recommend adjusting the recipe). Oysters tasted “fishy” to me. And if you are a seafood fanatic you understand what I mean. The other two in my party didn’t mind them. It was very loud which is understandable for a small place, but it was difficult to hold conversations at our table. We were going to order dinner but I had to leave. So we didn’t get anything else. Lastly, I was told that their drinks and burgers are delicious and your best option. I would probably come back to try that and still ensure I request Adam as our waiter!

All of the pasta dishes were cooked perfectly and enjoyed to al dente perfection. We ordered 5 dishes -- Gnocchi di Patate (good, but was expecting really over the top and it wasn't); the bucatini, spaghetti de mare, lumache, and the casarecce, were all exceptional. The salad and frito misto were fantastic. The burrata was disappointing, in that it was a ball of burrata and there was nothing served with it (e.g., bread or cracker of something) to eat it. The vanilla semifreddo was the best dessert and the chocolate mousse was good. The budino was odd. The pinot grigio (Klaus Lensch) was great. The rose was so-so. Overall, a good night and an exceptional meal and experience.

You made our Birthday guest very happy with all your extra efforts! We were all thankful for that and an overall great experience.

Freya is always a fantastic experience! It was my wife's birthday and all she wanted was to go back to Freya. The ambiance, service, and food is always on point and they made her a card that several people signed and offered a glass of prosecco to begin her birthday meal. Can't wait to go back!

We had a wonderful dinner at Selden Standard. Ahsley our waitress was very attentive as were the servers who brought out each dish. Explaining what each one was and confirming that there was none of the allergy items I had mention. The food was delicious and I loved the small plates so that we could try everything. Will definitley be back.
