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 nuances.
The Food
Talk about a pedigree: Sel de la Terre is owned by L'Espalier's Frank McClelland; Geoff Gardner, a former L'Espalier sous chef, mans the kitchen. Accordingly, diners enjoy inventive, affordable interpretations of French faves like roast chicken--served with zesty lemon-herb gnocchi and a tasty melange of plum tomatoes, green olives, and arugula. Flavorful fillet of sole arrives sauteed with lemon atop jasmine rice, pine nuts and poached figs. Patrons try their best to leave room for light, refreshing desserts, including homemade strawberry-lemon sorbet and bruleed peach melba.
