Selva Grill
How to book: reserve ahead in high season (Nov–Apr) and on weekend/performance nights — Main Street is busy and the room is popular. The play: book a downtown dinner around a Main Street gallery walk or a show at the Opera/Van Wezel, and lead with the ceviche + a pisco pour.
Best meal: Dinner — the ceviche is the reason to come (Stephanie's firsthand favorite), with the Peruvian/Latin- fusion plates and a pisco cocktail. Confirm the current menu on site.
Who it’s NOT for: Budget diners — it's a stylish downtown room at a mid-to-upper price, not a cheap eat. Anyone wanting a waterfront/beach view — it's a Main Street storefront in the arts district, not on the water. Walk-in-no-plan diners at prime weekend hours — Main Street fills; reserve for a prime slot. Travelers who don't want Latin/Peruvian food or raw ceviche as the headline.
