I was invited to a press meal at Sel et Poivre in the UES with Vin and a few of our food reviewer friends. This classic French bistro has been in business for YEARS, as in this institution is nearing their 30th anniversary! The current owners are a husband and wife team who focus on several “F” things in life: family, friendliness, France, and FOOD. As soon as you walk in, there’s a classy wood bar on the right (loved it!) to go with the wood décor throughout the restaurant and welcoming family photos on the warm colored walls. It made the restaurant look very traditional and elegant, but oh so inviting. The restaurant was packed with regulars in a comforting and homey environment and I was impressed with the wait staff that attended to everyone’s needs without thinking. Many of the staff have been here for years and you can tell how in tune and attentive they are to the guests. Can’t beat that kinda service!
I scanned the regular dinner menu and was excited to see some authentic French dishes on the menu (Calf’s liver! Veal kidneys!), but we were given a preset tasting menu with some other great offerings.
