Restaurant Review: Sel de la Terre
This week, I had a wonderful lunch in Boston at this chain restaurant. It's a French restaurant (it figures, I adore French food). First of all, the atmosphere was lovely. The service was good and the music was excellent. Second, the food was perfect!
I ordered the Express Lunch, which consisted of two courses. The first course, a broiled scallop on a bed of greens was impeccable. It was a small plate (which is the size appetizers should be), the scallop was perfectly cooked, and the greens were perfectly dressed. The second plate, a braised duck leg over french beans was amazing! The duck practically melted on my tongue yet it retained a very nice mellow flavor. And the amount of duck given was just right for one portion. I get so tired of eating in places that serve you double or triple portions of meat and barely any vegetables. The french beans were perfectly cooked-just enough to be pliant but they were still crunchy.
The menu for the Express Lunch changes daily. This chain has three locations: two in Boston and one in Natick, MA. I went to the Boylston St. location in Boston. It is incredibly well situated-right next to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the Prudential Center. I highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion (like graduation!) or a date. During the day, it is also nice for families or for a nice lunch while you're shopping.
