Worst service I've ever encountered – I've heard positive things about this place but when I brought my mother and her friend, who were both visiting from Japan, there for wine and appetizers, we encountered the WORST service I've ever experienced in a restaurant of that caliber. To begin with, the two hostesses did not greet us at all. I had to request a table. They gave me a look as if I had asked if I could let my dog urinate on the bar. The hostesses were busy discussing something and seemed like they did not want to dea... read more
Love it! – I can always count on Sel de la Terre for a great meal. Last time i ordered the antipasto, which was fantastic. It took a long time for our entree (they were very busy since it was the weekend) but they didn't charge us for it and gave us a selection of desserts (the salted caramel icecream was delicious). Love it. Such a great menu I never know what to order but the mushroom truffle soup is a must (i'm so happy its back on the menu)!
Clamour of patrons and flavours – The staff can sometimes be swamped by the weekend crowds, but I never found them to be consciously rude or negligent. The harried sommelier (Mr Meagher) found time to discuss the 'Limited' selections offered on the wine list and recommend a pinot noir from the Vendee -- hardly an obvious wine region. On a second visit, we were not seated till almost half an hour past our reservation, but the maitre d' strove to reassure us throughout our wait, and eventually obtained for us a choice corner t... read more
Loved it here! – I've been here once and fell in love with it. The food is spectacular, very yummy. I like the ambiance very much - there's just enough conversation/music going on, but still very private eventhough you're side by side with other people dining there. The diners here were not condescending nor snooty; sometimes if you dress to casual other tables would start looking at you, but it wasn't the case here - it was very relaxed. The waitstaff were very attentive and food came exactly when you were craving your next... read more
Great Fries! – My friends and I had a great time and the food was fab. You have to get what I think were chickpea fries. I wish we had had room for dessert.
A clean glass too much to ask? – I've never had a bad meal at Sel de la Terre. I have always thoroughly enjoyed the food there. And the dining room is lovely. The quality of the service has waned a bit over the years. During my most recent trip to the restaurant, we waited a long time at our table before we were greeted or offered water. And my sister's wine glass arrived with lipstick stains on the rim. She didn't drink it; rather, she politely asked the waitress for a replacement and the waitress politely agreed. But then ... read more
Rustic Provencal fare enthralls the downtown crowds at this pedigreed country cousin to famed L'Espalier. – The Scene Downtown workers and gastronomically adventurous tourists (the aquarium's around the corner) fill Sel de la Terre's relaxed, warm-hued dining room to feast on award-winning, country French cuisine. The handsome bar area is ideal for those looking to sample from an impressive, all-French wine list while nibbling on flatbread pizza. Efficient, black-clad servers are intimately familiar with the menu's many nuan... read more
great casual place for a NICE dining experience – Sel de la Terre has amazing pomme frites. I'm willing to take a $25 cab ride from Cambridge just for those fries. They're absolutely delectable and every guest whom I have brought to this restaurant with me agrees. On top of that, sel de la terre has great prices for what you great. Their breads are amazing as well. The main entrees are done well. I've come here many times, and enjoyed lunch and dinner. They have a good wine selection. The only negative is their bar menu, whi... read more
Delicious entrees, great service, and fun, elegant atmosphere... – We got here well before our reservations, and found very cozy leather seats in the lounge area. We ordered some yummy cocktails, and an okay appetizer (the taste was good, just not sure if it was worth the price). Our table was ready early, and the waitstaff was wonderful. We easily transitioned over to the dining room, then had plenty of time to finish enjoying our cocktails and apps before placing our dinner order. We wanted a relaxing, long evening out (ki... read more
