Selden Standard

Midtown · Eat

A Detroit 2.0 original that deserves another look—even after a few personal strikeouts.

BUILD A NIGHT AROUND THIS
NOAH’S TAKE

I’ve had a few misses at Selden Standard, but friends I trust keep calling it one of Detroit’s best restaurants. I respect what it helped start: farm-to-table small plates in the city before that was the obvious move. I’m going back, and I still think you should put it near the top of your list.

THE MOVE

Go with an open mind, order across the small-plates menu, and judge the current version for yourself.

GO HERE WHEN

You want to try one of the foundational restaurants of Detroit’s modern dining scene.

MAYBE NOT WHEN

You need my personal guarantee—I’m still going back before I give you one.
