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
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.
