Save your money! – I went to Sel et Poivre for lunch this past weekend, and was anything but impressed. The restaurant was practically empty (which should have been the first sign on a Saturday afternoon), so we thought we'd enjoy a lovely intimate meal. Just the opposite occurred .... My party of four were ignored by the wait staff for 15 minutes, and when I finally flagged someone down to take our drink order, the waiter was rude and unfriendly. We noticed that they were all congregated by the bar - doing what, we had no i... read more

Nice, but nothing special – This place is very cute, but after reading the reviews I was expecting it to be better. The ambience is very nice. The Service was excellent, and everything was great until the food came. Actually appetizers were not bad too, but the entrees were so-so. We were a large group and everyone ordered something different. The only person who was really happy about her meal ordered snails and was raving about them whole night. I haven't tried so can't say. I was looking forward to eating my creme brulee ... read more

Great Friendly Service – I visited Sel et Poirve this past Saturday. I was not too familar with restaurants in the area and took a chance on this one. I was instantly impressed when I walked in for my 8pm reservation. I said I was waiting for my dinner companion and they promply sat me at the bar and offered me a class of wine. They asked where I would like to be seated. The menu had a good assortment of dishes. The grilled Salmon was excellent and my companions Steak and Frittes looked equally as good. We were not rushed bu... read more

no attitude – my friend invited me out to a french bistro. i am not fond of the french, i was alittle hesitant. but when i walked into sel et poivre to my delight we were greeted with a beautiful smile from the owner( who is an american women) and her staff. the food is basic french classic but good. for those who want to be in france with out the french attitude this is the place to be.

Great cozy restaurant – My husband and I ate here last Thursday. I've lived in the neighborhood for a few years and passed by a few times but have not been inside. We decided to try it and I'm very glad we did. I think it may become one of my standards. I had the steak au poivre which was really flavorful and filled me up! My husband had the monkfish and he couldn't stop raving about it. Overall it was a great meal at a great price. My only complaint might be the beer selection - they didn't really have any dark beers, which... read more

Excellent Value – My husband and I wandered into this charming restaurant quite by accident. We were strolling along Lex looking for a place to eat. We were very pleasntly surprised by the charm and warmth of the place. The ambience reminded me of a French bistro. The food was on the casual side. I particularly liked the chicken. My husband had the sirloin which was also excellent. By far the desserts were outstanding. The creme brulee was great. The owner happened to be there that night and she came to our table to welcome ... read more
