Le Sel Bistro - Tacoma (WA)

5 /5 Rolland Nelson: A superb place for an anniversary dinner or for someone you want to impress. Le Sel Bistro could easily be overlooked while strolling down the street. However, doing so would mean missing out on some remarkable cuisine. We ordered the BTA and as someone who considers themselves an Eggs Benedict aficionado, I can attest that their sauces are spot on, and created from scratch. Additionally, we tried the Le Sal Burger with Bacon Jam, ranking this near the top of my favorite burgers as well. The venue is compact and tends to fill up quickly, I feel this contributed to the outstanding service we experienced. Also noticed a few intriguing pieces of artwork adorning the walls, though I believe they could benefit from a few more...

3 /5 Joe Garvey: Glad I finally tried this place, and I’ll definitely be back, but it fell short of five stars. We were seated 15-20 minutes after our reservation time (we arrived 10 minutes early), and then it was more long waiting to place drink and food orders, and an even longer wait for the food to arrive. Nearly an hour had passed before we got our appetizer. We tried the warm brie, which was delicious, though small (cheese itself), probably best shared between two people max. I ordered the bacon omelette, and was shocked at how small it was. However, it was delicious. The bacon itself was fantastic. The biggest pain point of the meal is that we were sat at the wobbly table right across from the bathrooms. And the are smelled strongly of toilet bowl cleaner, which intensified whenever folks came in and out of the bathroom doors. Definitely suggest some form of better ventilation. I definitely don’t hold that against them. And I really would like to come back and book a seat on the patio, sample some of the cocktails that sounded great. But the very long awkward service, high price for the quantity of the food, and the bathroom smell at our table definitely tarnished this first visit.

5 /5 Ian Gay: Excellent spot for brunch. The outdoor patio was warm and very comfortable. Not only was the setting great but everything we ordered was very delicious.

5 /5 Oleg D: Le Sel Bistro is a very cute little spot with an amazing water view and a stylish French café–inspired design. It’s the perfect place for brunch (open until 3 PM), though it tends to get busy, so a reservation is a smart idea. The food is excellent—I especially loved the salmon Benedict and the cheesecake topped with pear. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but with the great food, attentive staff, and charming ambiance, it feels worth it.

3 /5 sarah cabrera: We had a reservation and our tables wasnt ready. We waited for about 15 minutes until we got seated. Atmosphere was amazing and the view but when it came to our food it took foreveeerrrrr. And food came out good but for that price for breakfast I dont think it was worth it. And we get advice that the other party was here for this reservation, pretty much hinting time for us to go.
