Selah Restaurant

Came for lunch today and was delighted by the restaurant. It offers a very eclectic mix of food which kept us guessing that whole time. The interior is extraordinarily designed to a tee, with beautiful, intimate seats and tables, a nice vault for interesting dining, cute lighting, and nice additional décor. The coffee bar and bakery were cute and tasty! I had the house coffee (and about five free refills), and the coconut cream cake that tasted homemade and fresh. For lunch I had the chicken flat bread which was much larger than expected, delicious sweet potato fries, and the soup of the day, a tomato spinach Parmesan vegetable loaded with light, fresh flavor. I highly recommend this place for about any kind of food options, a romantic date, a luncheon, or a carry out! They even have music on the weekends! Really a gem hidden away and flourishing well.

Overall had a great meal… the décor is awesome. an old bank with the teller booths and vault still in place. Started off with the fried green tomatoes and a sweet relish on top. The tomatoes where fried perfect with a light corn meal breading and the relish was sweet to go. with the saltiness of the tomatoes. The bread sweet butter and olive tapanad was by far my favorite thing. I got a pasta dish chicken with creamy sundried tomatoes. portion size was slightly small and just average meal. my fiancé got the tilipia which was cooked perfect and nice flavor.

I had driven by so many times, I had no idea what I was missing! Amazing atmosphere & excellent food!

My partner took me to Selah for my birthday and I was completely blown away. The service was efficient, our server (Renee) had some awesome recommendations, the atmosphere was romantic and artistic, and the food and drinks were unbelievable. I can’t wait to go back. It was most definitely a memorable birthday.

Decided to go to Selah’s for a small family birthday get together. They usually have great food and the service is usually pretty decent. Also we really like to patronize local businesses. With that being said, our service and food was far less than par. I think there was only one server for the entire place. We didn’t place our order until over an hour after we’d been there. When our food finally came, only 1 person out of the 9 people actually enjoyed their food. The steak boucherie had a texture like liver and had absolutely no taste. The server offered to take the steak back to put seasoning on it 20 minutes later when she was asking if we wanted dessert. Those who ordered penne alla vodka said there was no flavor either. They also add a $ 20 cake fee if you bring your own cake. Our server had an attitude when we spoke up about the steak. It is unfortunate that we had both bad food and bad service. More than likely I don’t think anyone from our party will return.

Pretty solid food and great atmosphere. The device was more than solid and I definitely would go back. I think their liquor menu (not much in the way of brown liquor) could use some additions considering it is not an inexpensive meal, although I realize local tastes may drive that. Steak was good and I always respect a cook who can actually resist not overcooking rare. Hummus appetizer would be meaningfully better with toasted rather than cold I toasted pita. The pistachio cake was very good. I’d go back again.

This is my new favorite restaurant. It feels like it should be in a larger more hip city. The atmosphere is great and so unique, being in an old bank. It’s refreshing to have a local restaurant that’s not just spaghetti and meatballs. The food was delicious and the dessert very tempting. We spent Valentines Day dinner here and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I’m sure I’ll be back with friends!

Great service and fun overall experience at this converted bank now restaurant. Really enjoyed the ham melt which was very satisfying even without additional condiments. Would definitely go back to try additional dishes when in town.

To find about their special event dinners ask to be placed on the mailing list. You’ll be glad you did.

One of my favorite places to eat. I’ve never had a bad meal there. The Bella Cucina nights are AMAZING!!!

Very good especially for lunch. Nice atmosphere. Healthy menu selections. Left feeling full but not stuffed. Desserts are also wonderful and reasonably priced. Has a NYC feel to it.

Love this place the interior design is beautiful. The food is amazing … Love that they have live jazz music on the weekends!!!

My wife and I enjoyed valentines day dinner here, the service and food were both extraordinary. We had reservations, we were promptly seated and served, unhurried and really made to feel special.

Had dinner last evening, many lenten specials to chose from. The seafood stew was fantastic, portion very large with great flavor combination. As usual staff went out of way to please even while busy. No live music last night but atmosphere was great.

Been here 4 or 5 times. Excellent, fresh and creative dishes. Homemade rolls and desserts. Fresh pasta. Everything I’ve had has been delicious. And the atmosphere is delightful.

My wife and I visited Selah Restaurant for dinner before going to a Josh Turner Show at Stambaugh Auditorium in Youngstown. Never having been in Youngstown, we consulted Unilocal to find a good place to eat. After reading the reviews, we settled on Selah and were not disapointed. As others have stated, the restaurant is in an old bank and it shows, providing a unique and charming venue for dinner. Aside from the excellent atmosphere, the food was wonderful. We started with the fresh mozzarella and roasted pepper appetizer. It came with fresh rolls and some excellent olive tapenade. For our dinner each of us ordered steak. I got the Steak de Boucherie, a flatiron steak, cooked to perfection, and served with a baby greens salad, caramelized onions and asparagus. My wife got the Bourbon Beef Tips, cooked to medium with a bourbon sauce. We did not get dessert, but they looked wonderful. The staff was friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this restaurant.
By the way, if you like iced tea, get it here. It is some of the best iced tea that I have ever had at a restaurant.

Awesome! I never come to downtown struthers, but this place is well worth it. I had no idea that it even existed. But at the recommendation from a friend, can down for dinner last week. Parking lot and entrance well lit and welcoming. Host was great. Atmosphere and décor was perfect. Classy but comfortable… just like the menu! Great offerings at great prices. And put together using quality ingredients. Definitely give it a try!

This restaurant truly is beautiful. I feel like I am in New York City or another American city with nice restaurants. They did a beautiful job with the décor and kept it in sync with the style of the old bank in which it is housed.
The food is «fresh» and always attractive. If you are going for lunch, I’m afraid they don’t have man-​sized portions so some people could leave hungry.
Surprisingly, for a «fancy» restaurant, they do not have fresh, brewed iced tea. Unbelievable.
Somewhat pricey.
The homemade cakes are delicious!
I have been going there since it opened and have always been disappointed in the slow service. I would go there more often if the service was attentive since I work across the street and get an hour lunch.
I DO recommend this restaurant except for the service and the lack of fresh, brewed iced tea. We need more restaurants like this in the area with fresh foods made from scratch.

I really enjoy this place. I just wish it had a bar to relax in prior to dinner. Once the weather breaks it might be possible to sit outside for awhile first. Until then we’ll have a drink across the street first. We had a great meal last week, I had the special which was a lamb ragout over a blanket pasta, my girl had the chicken with portobellos, feta and spinich which was very good also.
Service is a little rough around the edges but I don’t think it’s due to a lack of caring. More one of training and experience. It is in Struthers I had to remind myself, only a few places striving for this kind of food and atmosphere within 25 miles. The effort is there.
Prices are good, especially if you’re familiar with prices outside of the Youngstown area. The building and atmosphere certainly make you feel that you have traveled to another city for dinner and that is a good thing now and then.

This is certainly a hidden gem that often gets overlooked because of Donavito’s across the train tracks. I originally went there for lunch with my boss when we had a stressful day, and we ended up making that our ‘go to’ for any sort of events/​parties for our organization.
For starters, the building is SO cool! It was the old First Federal bank and they left the old vault/​vault door, teller windows (the brass bars) and left the bricks bare, too. It sort of looks like a ‘de-​constructed’ building on the inside: all of the old copper pipes are showing and the cherry wood is beautiful, as are the old light fixtures. It’s just a really nice place with a good feel to it.
The food here is delicious: from the soups and the bakery to their breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Some of my favorite dishes are the Asiago Alfredo with spinach (and chicken), the Feta Tomato burger, the Tuscan flat (oh soooooo good), the Penne ala Vodka sauce is super good… I could go on and on and on. It’s just SO good!
The other thing that’s wonderful about this restaurant is how involved they are with local nonprofs and how supportive they are of the local arts. When I’m home, I go here ALL of the time.
