First time going to this steakhouse & probably my last. The wait time for the food is ridiculously long. Probably had like 20 cups of water just waiting for it. The appetizers took 30 mins & the main course took even longer. Wasn't a big fan of the food either.
Incredible food & ambience! The staff works so well together, & Desmond, the owner, is very attentive. Sel Noir made for an incredible anniversary evening for my wife & me. Strongly recommend!
Great experience ! started with the burrata which was very tasty & the bread that comes with it was very fresh along with the sauce beneath it & the pistachios , & i had the ribeye steak ( medium well ) which was perfectly cooked with a side of mashed potatoes . All in all a great experience & great service from Gabriel . I will come back .
We had the pleasure of dining at Sel & Noir, & it was nothing short of incredible! We ordered the Chef's Plate, a delightful surf-&-turf creation featuring perfectly cooked steak, succulent lobster, & tiger shrimps. The plate was accompanied by loaded baked potatoe, & crispy Parmesan fries-all bursting with flavor & cooked to perfection. Compliments to the chef & the team!!
The Carpacio was another highlight-fresh, exquise, & dressed to perfection. As for the cocktails, they were absolutely delicious & expertly crafted, adding the perfect touch to our meal. Compliments to the bartenders!
Hard pass for us going forward.
We were excited to try Sel Noir but we were very disappointed.
Ordered the Tomahawk steak & by the time it arrived, it was cold & tasted bland! No sauce was offered & after we asked for some, it took 15 minutes to get it. We don't mind paying premium prices but we expect premium quality & service. This was not the place for that.
The staff was not particularly pleasant, leaving us ignored at the door while they were chatting away in front of us. The only one that stood out was the young man serving us water & asking how everything was. The shrimp was tasteless & also cold. The carrots & mushrooms were tasty but not the reason you go to a steakhouse.
The atmosphere was the saving grace. Nice ambiance & if the food & service was good would make a great place for special dates & occasions. There are much better options out there.
I really enjoyed this place. Someone invited me to a birthday dinner. The food was very excellent. I hope I can go back to this restaurant, only if I had some friends or a boyfriend😅 This place is lovely. The cocktails are amazing!!! Enjoyed my time & hopefully I come back soon! The food is very fancy. It's definitely worth going especially on special occasion
