second thoughts – This was my second visit to Sel De La Terre. First experience was positive. True, a bit pricey as can happen in Boston. The main course and the wine were wonderful. However tonight we decided to order a couple of appetizers and split a bottle of wine. $15 for two scallops? $15 for 1/2 doz oysters the size of a quarter each? $6.95 for six overcooked asparagus stalks? What a disappointment. I've worked and dined in Boston for more than 25 years. Unlikely I’ll return to Sel De La Terre.
Excellent Food, Service, Good Value for Money – I organized a christmas eve dinner for 10 people, and Rob was seriously very helpful in with getting the reservation done, especially as I kept calling to change the reservation. The food was really excellent, especially for a prix fixed christmas eve dinner, and really good value for money compared to other christmas eve dinners that night. We all really enjoyed ourselves and the service was good. I would definitely recommend it and am coming again.
Two hour wait for food! Skip this joint. – After arriving at 11:30 for brunch with out of town guests, our meals finally arrived at 1:30! The server apologized but there was no excuse. It was an awful wait and I will not go back to this restaurant. To top it off, the food was cold! the quiche for brunch was terrible and the omelette was passable but way too small for the $14 price. I have tried this restaurant in the past and have enjoyed the bar, but my last two times eating there were bad experiences with either rowdy crow... read more
Great French fare in your own backyard! – My boyfriend took me here for my birthday because he knows how much I love classic French food ever since I studied abroad there during college. And, let me tell you, I was reminded of just how much I have missed the rustic flavors of Southern France with every bite, and it's a good thing I'll be able to savor a slice of Provence at Sel de la Terre without ever leaving the city! Must, must, must try the steak frites (even if it's just a bite off your neighbor's plate), never had bett... read more
Great if you're a male diner – A business colleague invited me to lunch here....we had reservations and were seated almost immediately. That was the best part of the lunch. After that, service was non-existent while we noticed that the server's other tables (all of which consisted of male or male/female parties) were receiving better service. I usually don't notice things like this, but it was so horrendous that it was difficult not to. As others have commented: save the large plates and nouveau presentation and invest it in... read more
Lost their touch... – When reviewers complain about the small portion size of over-reaching restaurants, this is the place they mean. Sel de la Terre is sometimes referred to as a ?moderately? priced place, but it is not. First, there is no such thing at the bar as a glass of wine under $10, apparently, and the glass is only half-full, and mixed drinks are even more. 20 minutes at the bar before seating cost $68. Appetizers averaging $11 were served on oversized plates which only dramatized how incredibly meager the portions... read more
Excellence sans egal ! – With new locations opening (Natick and Boston Pru) my secret is out! This is my favourite restaurant in Boston period (and the new location at the Natick collection continues the culinary excellence). You simply can not go wrong here. When you visit the boulangerie for that quick morning coffee and pastry or maybe an on the go lunch special you'll be amazed at the quality and professional service for a take-out window. Sit at the bar and have a cocktail and some Petits GoUters and I tell you it takes... read more
Horrible. – Absolutely horrible. My wife and I actually walked out on dinner (with leaving payment of course) due to many reasons. First off we live in Boston and have heard many mixed reviews from friends and as well family. We love trying all different restaurants everywhere and incredibly easy going however tonight there was an exception. We first arrived and gave our name to the reservation which we had booked several days in advance. Upon waiting an older, very rude and ?snooty? couple attempted to get a table however t... read more
We reserved lunch on Sunday for the restaurant week almost two weeks prior to the restaurant week start. I saw the menu on the web site well (there are no indications of no lunch nor dinner on Sunday on any websites including official, non official website of restaurant week and the Sel Dela Terre web site). We were very excited about this opportunity. However I received confirmation call from the restaurant on Sat night and they mentioned that they don?t participate on the restaurant week on weekend. When I called Sunday mo... read more
