Sel et Poivre Reviews
Sel au Poivre has the overall ambience of the little French restaurant in the neighborhood. The classics are all on the menu and absolutely delicious. The calves liver is beautifully prepared and so rare to fund on a menu these days.
Sel au Poivre is a great discovery for a quiet drink or dinner.
Last night was one of the best meals we've ever had at this longtime favorite restaurant! Green bean salad and tomato mozzarella ones were better than usual and the roast chicken was wonderful. Had a bit more au jus (even a little more would be even greater!) While they have daily specials, I do wish they'd change up their regular menu--perhaps a different salmon preparation, a new pasta dish, etc.
We live about 350 miles from NYC and visit once or twice per year. We try to visit Sel et Poivre about every other year for the past 20 years. The food is great, but what brings us back over and over again is it seems nearly everyone else in the restaurant is a local from the neighborhood. That alone is the best recommendation for a restaurant, but it helps me feel like a local when I am in town. So glad this restaurant made it through COVID unscathed; we are all the more fortunate...read full review
Sel et Poivre is a beloved restaurant, known for its delicious food and local vibe. The green bean salad, tomato mozzarella, and roast chicken are standouts, although some reviewers wish for more variety on the regular menu. The restaurant's cozy atmosphere and consistent local patronage contribute to its charm. However, there have been occasional reports of rushed service and dry dishes. Despite these rare missteps, Sel et Poivre remains a popular and appreciated dining destination.
