what a dinner – I was there during dinner time but I wanted a nice french sandwich on a fresh crisp baguette, but lunch was already over a while ago. The waitress and the chef were very accomodating and offered to prepare my sandwich anyway. And it was so fresh, so crisp, so flavorful. I stole some french fries off my date's plate -- best I have ever tasted. I would love to go back to that place. The service staff is nice, but be nice back! Parking stinks, but what's new?
South of France...south of pleasant! – Another couple was seated 20 minutes after us, and received their food, ate, and paid their bill before our entree was even served. The waitress was unbelievably rude and inefficient. The name means "salt of the earth", but eating here was like pouring salt in a wound.
Fantastic Brunch! – I stopped in for the brunch several weeks ago, and was quite pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect much from a restaurant in such a touristy area, but the excellent breads, perfectly poached eggs and wonderfully flavorful but restrained hollandaise sauce made me a convert. The ambiance is also a definite plus. It was very reasonably priced for an a la carte brunch, too. I can't wait to try dinner here!
Surprise – No one expects a good meal near the Aquarium as it's filled with tourist traps. Except Sel de la Terre will surprise and amaze. The food is tasty and interesting (better than saying flavorful and complex).
one of the best in Boston – Sel de la Terre is one of the best French restaurants I have been to in the US. The appetizers and the main dishes were exquisite, and they had a great selection of wine and cheese. One of the best things about Sel de la Terre was the service. People were very polite and prompt. I had a great time there.
eat at the bar – room stinks, bathrooms are great. Eat at the bar if you get the right guy it will be wonderful. Food is pretty good.
Just how the best bistros should be – Excellent service combine with roomy tables and very good food to make Sel de la Terre a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. As a European living in the Boston area I would pick this restaurant as my favourite for a relaxed lunch or informal dinner. My only compliant is the inconsistent supply of Badoit!
Great food, skip the bar – I went to Sel de la Terre last night with friends. The host was wonderful, very friendly and accommodating. While waiting for a member of our party at the bar, we had the unpleasant experience of dealing with a VERY surly bartender. Although the drinks were excellent (tasty lemon martini), his customer service skills were horrible. When we finally made eye contact with him after a good 7 to 10 minutes, he snapped that he would be right with us and was very testy when we asked that our drinks be sen... read more
A Fabulous Dining Experience – My family took me to Sel de la Terre for a graduation celebration dinner and I can't say one bad thing about the place. We started with some drinks at the bar, all amazing. The bartenders were funny, efficient, and made great drinks!! Our waiter was attentive to everything we asked for, even noting on our order that 2 people in our party had nut allergies. The food was great. When my steak arrived a little too rare, it was quicky recooked and the plate returned with the sides all refilled. Dess... read more
