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
Great Restaurant Sel De La Terre is a great place for a lunch or dinner. The meals are delicious and the staff is extremely friendly. They take lunch reservations too!
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
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
