We had another incredible dinner at Selden Standard, which will always be our number one restaurant in Detroit. We even got married here this summer!! So it holds a special place for us. Lauren took great care of us and encouraged us to order whatever we were craving. Dangerous advice, but we happily accepted . Warning - the ratings are real. They're not a mistake. We started with our usual cocktail, the Instant Karma (5/5). It is the perfect balance of citrus and salt with a light cucumber note. Clean, refreshing, and it pairs well with everything. The roasted sweet potato (6/5) is one of the best vegetable dishes in the city. The caramelized exterior gives way to a soft interior, and the crispy quinoa adds a subtle light crunch that plays against the creamy texture. The salsa macha brings a smoky, nutty depth without the heat, and the crema ties it all together. I had to physically stop myself from scraping the plate (actually they had to take it away ). The tagliatelle (5/5) with beef bolognese and parmesan was flawless. The pasta has that ideal handmade chew, and the bolognese is rich without being heavy. The parmesan blends perfectly into the sauce and stands out in every bite. The potato pierogi (10/5) were the star of the night. Soft potato-filled pillows with horseradish crema, apple, and crispy shallot pieces create this perfect sweet, tangy, creamy, and crunchy bite. Each forkful felt intentional and balanced. I felt guilty, because in my head, I didn't want to share with my wife, but I did anyways . The cruelty of having to split an odd number of pierogis...well played...we should have just ordered another one. We also ordered the smoked potatoes and the pan roasted half chicken with sauce au poivre (always 5/5 for both) The smoked potatoes, with raclette, and crème fraîche, are always a must. These winter variation was just as good! The chicken remains one of the most consistently well-executed mains in the city. I have tried recreating it at home with the cold pan method and it never comes close. Every time we dine here, it feels like four or five different dinner experiences in one evening. Selden Standard continues to set the bar for us in Detroit. We love the staff, the food, and the memories tied to this place. Cheers to many more amazing years to come!

Everything we ordered was well prepared and balanced. Especially delicious were the broccollini, mushrooms, and bucatini with chili crisp. Good cocktails and beer selections, but the wine by glass selection was limited. The atmosphere is just ok, they cram groups of 5 onto tables only meant for 4, but understand they are popular and busy.
Enjoyed an incredible dinner here in celebration of my 30th birthday! I've been here a few times and the food is always excellent and service is wonderful! The octopus was our favorite, with the mafaldine pasta and grilled pork tied for second. Highly recommend!
We chose Selden Standard to celebrate my husband’s birthday and it was a wonderful experience. We tried the roasted cauliflower, beef tartare and the pan-roasted half chicken. Everything tasted great and was well balanced. The pavlova for dessert was light and delicious a perfect way to end the meal. Overall all the food was excellent and it made the birthday celebration even more special. Would definitely recommend!
I always enjoy dinner at Selden and highly recommend it. Last night was my favorite meal yet! We got the beet salad, roasted cauliflower, grilled bratwurst, tagliatelle, and the special for the night was pierogis and they were unreal! I almost feel bad including them in the review since they said it was a one night special only. Hopefully they bring them back as a seasonal item, so good
