Scott and I were doing some returns and shopping at the Natick Collection on Sat, and we decided to go have lunch at Sel de la Terre. Denise and I had been there before and really liked it. Sofia was with us so there was a brief moment of panic when her sticky nosy hands ALMOST flipped over a hot soup tureen (sp?) of red pepper soup! We shared the soup for an app (a little kick to it but no so much that it bothered you, it was a yummy soup). I had the Niçoise salad with seared peppered Yellowfin tuna (very generous on the tuna, overall portion size was perfect, some olives, red bliss potatoes, crunchy string beans, greens, and red onions). My only negative was that if the red onion slices were consistently thinner, it would have been more successful, some of the onion strips were huge and some were thinly sliced (preferred) so the huge ones overpower the flavor and I avoided them. Scott had the SDLT burger with smoked onions, lettuce, bleu cheese and spicy aïoli and he loved it. I enjoying stealing his thin pomme frites!
