We met friends for a 5:00 pm reservation midweek. We met on the heated patio with ample time to reconnect with friends before cocktails, . The service was considerant with old friends meeting and gave us space. The menu was well rounded with us ordering the stew, lamb chops and duck for entrees. All was cooked per request, presented well and delicious for all plates. The lone server (for six tables) was exemplary in his service. He not hover but served our every need. We will return.

Visited Le Sel Bistro for the first time on March 9th for an early dinner after seeing the "Imagine Monet" exhibit...it was a French-themed evening for us. Le Sel Bistro is a small venue, and the decor is a lovely "French Country." Seating is limited, so reservations are definitely recommended. They do have a large covered outdoor patio with a beautiful water view, but the weather was quite chilly that day. Our server, whose name was Hannah or Anna, was absolutely fantastic - one of the best I've ever encountered anywhere. She was attentive, personable, fun, and made extra efforts to determine ingredients of each dish after finding that one of our group has a specific food allergy. Two of us had the Cassoulet (my first time having that dish) and it was amazingly good. Definitely won't be my last time with that. Two had the French Onion Soup and said it was very good, but somewhat sweet. I don't recall what the other two had as their main entree, but they were both very impressed with their meals. It definitely won't be our last visit to Le Sel Bistro, and we all really want to return to try their brunch, which gets very good reviews.

We were made to feel very comfortable and welcomed for our brunch. This is definitely an old building but decorated to be very cozy. The heat lamps and blankets for the garden room were nice to have. We weren't rushed at all and it was a perfect place for a small birthday celebration. The food was great.

Friends and I ate at Le Sel for the first time on February 14 during the brunch seating. We arrived at 11:30 am and did not leave until 3:30 pm! Despite the fact that brunch service ended at 2:00 and dinner service would not begin until 5:00. The staff let us stay and visit all those four hours!!! The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, the indoor setting was wonderful. Next time we will know to book the patio; we didn't this time because we were concerned about the weather. Our mistake. The patio is heated and enclosed. It looks delightful. We will definitely visit again. If you are truly interested in some "critique", I would say that it was a bit off-putting to walk into the front bar area only to be greeted by cardboard boxes, furniture in disarray, messy "stuff" littering the bar/counter. I was immediately concerned about what kind of experience we would have since I was greeted by a front of the house mess. Once I got to the host station, I was reassured that things might go better. But, you know, first impressions and all that... a messy entry hall is a risky way to showcase your otherwise delightful place.

Absolutely love our brunch at Le Sel! Everything was top-notch. I only rated the ambience a bit low because it was quite loud in the dinner room. But, I get it and that being said I would still prefer the dining room to the garden area. Loved it and will be back! Thank you! Jackie

Loved our day in the Garden Room and Bella was just delightful!! Everyone there was engaged, attentive, kind - all three of us come from long service backgrounds and Le Sel hit it out of the ballpark! The only thing I would ask of Le Sel is to maybe re-visit your pricing on the mimosa carafes. We got the half thinking it was three glasses and it made for a very small pour. Didn't see the value there as it as much smaller than ordering by the glass. Otherwise, a perfect experience.

I was cold. Heater was brought but did not work. Propane was out. I asked for medium cooked burger. It was very well-done…so dry. French onion soup was delicious. Bloody Mary excellent. My husband’s omelet was tasty.

This was our second time coming here. First time we did not have a reservation, we managed to get one with minimal wait. Decided to reserve a garden table and it was so worth it! The view is so good, the food and cocktails, even better. The service is always top tier! It’s the prefect brunch spot and we can’t wait to go for dinner! I think my favorite thing is that the whole idea is to take your time and enjoy the company you’re with, and the food. Without feeling rushed!

We sat in the quaint garden area. Service was perfect. Food perfect. Drinks perfect. We drove up from Vancouver Wa to meet friends and is was well worth the drive. The only negative was there wasn't a proper and safe high chair for our friends 11 month old. The wicker chairs don't accommodate the child's seat they provided.

Food and service was great but my cappuccino was not made well even the second time. Cappuccino is shot of espresso with little milk and foam on the top. I like cappuccino because I don’t want to drink too much milk but even second time the cup was full of milk with little foam on the top. But overall we were happy.

We absolutely loved our overall experience at Le Sel Bistro. The staff was just lovely and the atmosphere warm and charming. My Aperol spritz were also excellent. However, unfortunately we were all quite disappointed in the food. The lamb chops were thin, dry and overcooked. The salads were mediocre—they were supposed to have hazelnuts in them and there were none. According to those who ordered omelets, they were disappointed and one person felt that the side portions were too small for the price. She thought she should have at least gotten some toast with her meal. Also apparently the Sprite was flat. We were never asked by our server how the food was or we would probably at least have commented on the lamb and the missing hazelnut in the salads. We didn’t want to complain on Christmas. We’re sorry to give this negative feedback about the food. Everything else was perfect.

The place is small and very nicely decorated. My sister and I celebrated my birthday with brunch and we were both very happy with the service and the atmosphere. I suggest reservations for this place as it is small with great food.

Our server was particularly good. She gave us useful input and shepherded our orders so the starter came out first with time to finish before our entrees arrived. This was my first LaSel experience but it definitely won't be my last.

Lizza was our server and was very polite and courteous. She informed us of the days specials, and pointed out other items on the menu that could be of interest to us. The staff allowed me to order the mushroom risotto (even though the had low inventory of mushroom), to accommodate my "plant -based" dietary needs. It was served hot and was very good. My fiancé ordered the duck and the French Onion soup, and was not disappointed. The duck was cooked and served to her satisfaction. I was offered a wide selection of desserts to choose from as a "free" birthday gift. This was our 3rd visit to Le Sel Bistro. The first visit was 2 years ago for my birthday. On that day I also proposed to my now fiancé'. The entire staff was very instrumental and helpful from the first phone call to the day of our brunch reservations, to help make this very special event a very memorable dining experience. We shared our wonderful dining experience with my brother and his wife, and the four us dined here for dinner a few months later. Le Sel Bistro is one of our favorite "go-to" restaurants. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

The ham Benedict was spot on. The ham was seared and a little crispy on the edges. This is how it’s supposed to be done but a lot of places don’t. It adds texture and flavor. Eggs were also perfect. Muffin a little small.

We had a wonderful experience!! However, the entire party agreed that the food did not have enough flavor. We did all get Benedict's, so maybe it is the hollandaise? We were celebrating my twin girls' birthdays....the music, service, beverages, pastries and desserts were fabulous!!

Atmosphere and server were five stars … made the experience. The French onion soup tasted pretty vinegary. I would not order again and I love French onion soup. I only mention this in hopes it can be improved. The Brie and apples, cheesecake and risotto were great, the Apple fritter …amazing.
