Late night dining makes the staff grumpy – It's diifficult to find quality food when dining late in Boston. Sel de la Terre features late night dining hours, Wed. - Sat. from 10:00 to 12:30 pm, which is a godsend in Boston. I'm wondering if this works against them. We arrived around 9 pm last night (Friday) and were greeted effusively by the hostess. Things went downhill from there. The dining room was packed and service staff taxed. Our order wasn't taken for 20 minutes and was only taken after my husband spoke to the hoste... read more
Amazing food and great service both lunch and dinner – So I was lucky enough to go to Sel de la Terre twice in 2 weeks, once for lunch, once for dinner. Their lunch prix fixe is the best value in town ($19 for 3 courses) and the rest of the a la carte menu sounded most appetizing. We thought service was knowledgeable and efficient, I loved that they managed to get us in and out in under an hour so we could get back to the office, without making us feel rushed... Dinner was a different pace, slower but not too slow, we had pl... read more
Amazing food and fantastic service! – My friends and I have eaten at this restaurant several times, and we love it every time! You feel like you have taken a step into Provence with the ambience and delicious cuisine. We can't get enough of the fabulous breads, tempting cocktails, and exceptional entrees. The food is extemely flavourful but not over the top. It is rustic, hearty and cooked with perfection. We have had excellent service every time. I would highly recommend Sel De La Terre if you are looking for an unforgetabl... read more
not for dinner – I had a very nice time previously when a friend took me to one of the Wine Tasting Wednesdays. Dinner, however, was an entirely different experience. The waitstaff was condescending and rude. One of the main course dishes was okay, the other had no taste or seasoning whatsoever and wasn't prepared as ordered. I felt ill a four or five hours after dinner. It seemed like a good idea because the Wine Tasting Wednesdays are usually great, but I certainly wouldn't recommend this place for anything else.
Worst Service I've ever had at a restaurant – I spent 2 hours at this restaurant. We never did get our food, because we had to walk out due to the unbelievably bad service. It was 30 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order, for example. We tried and tried to get some attention from the staff, but to no avail. The worst part was that neither the waiter, nor the manager nor anybody else seemed to care that they were totally ignoring us. We complained numerous times but they did nothing about it, offered no explanati... read more
Great without or without kids – I suggested a post-aquarium family dinner including two young children, crossing my fingers that it would work out. It was so good, we've been back five times already, both with the kids and without. (They serve dinner late, so it makes a nice after-kid-bedtime place.) We showed up once without reservations, with kids, and they pushed together some bar tables to make us a little enclave -- though I wouldn't recommend showing up like that unless you're dining early. Our waitress from our first ... read more
Eaten there many times, always had a great meal! – I am not sure what happened to the previous reviewer, but I have eaten at Sel de la Terre many times, some of which included my child. It does get very very busy there and they do recommend reservations. Perhaps it had nothing to do with the children, but everything to do with the fact that they were a large party? In any case, I always have the Nicoise salad when I go for lunch, and it is near perfect. The french fries are nirvana. Just heaven on a plate.
Keep your kids away! – This restaurant would not sit us (4 adults and 4 very well-behaved) children. First we were told that it would take a few minutes to set a table for us. After 20 minutes of waiting and no one near us, we dared to ask the hostess how much longer we'd have to wait for our table. The hostess at first pretended she had never seen us before (we were standing in front of her for 20 minutes) and then said that it's very busy and she cannot accomodate us. This was something we have never experienced in any oth... read more
Great – I've been for the wine Wednesdays with a few friends and a weekend dinner with the boyfriend and had a wonderful experience both times. The service, food and atmosphere were all well above average. I highly recommend this restaurant! Though we didn't utilize it, there's also apparently parking nearby for those who want to drive.
