Modern French inside a Kimpton hotel delivering creative plates and warm hospitality at high prices, with inconsistent service and execution that can swing from outstanding to frustrating.
Le Sel delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality and warm, attentive service, but inconsistent execution on staples like onion soup and steaks and pacing delays even during light service prevent a higher grade. The comfortable, modern hotel setting suits casual French dining without commanding destination appeal—a solid choice for creative French cuisine when consistency matters less than occasional standout moments.
One caveat: Service can be slow from seating to courses, even when the room is quiet
