Review
Sel de la Terre,
the sister restaurant to L’Espalier, offers Provencal French fare from
Boston’s Long Wharf. The dining is boisterous and casual, sleek yet
funky, and open yet cozy. The menu offers a varied selection of rational
French appetizers and entrees, each with its own unique twist. The Goat
Cheese & Arugala Salad and the Sautéed Shrimp with Andouille Sausage
caught our eyes, and both delivered with great flavors. Next, we moved
on to the Free Range Chicken Breast and the Black Angus Ribeye Steak.
The Chicken had a spicy mustard-based sauce and the meat was juicy, but
the skin a little bit overpowering and lacked crispness. The Ribeye was
very good as well, prepared perfectly with a nice peppery glaze. The
accompanying pearl onions and green pea tendrils didn’t really excite.
We also tried the Rosemary Pommes Frites as a side, and we have to say
that they are not to be missed. For dessert, we opted for the Crème
Brulee and the Peach Financier. The Crème Brulee was an excellent
ending, while the Peach Financier was lackluster. Service was tended at
a very good pace, but wasn’t the exceptional service that one gets at
L’Espalier. However, given that the price is quite moderate for the
quality, we can look past it. Lastly, keep in mind that the restaurant
has its own boulangerie, so be careful not to fill up on the scrumptious
breads offered before your meal. –Mike & Kim |
