So my best friend Eric was in Boston for a business trip last week. He's interning at Fidelity for the summer, and they have an intern swap program that allows New Jersey interns to visit the Boston office and vice versa. Both of us are foodies and he was only going to be in town for a day or two, so we decided to hit up a more upscale restaurant and splurge a little. A so-called "celebration." We decided on a French bistro restaurant located near the aquarium called Sel de la Terre. I had heard good things about this place and wanted to see if it could live up to its hype. I mean, it did get a rating of "Gourmet Greatness" on Phantom Gourmet! After work, we met up at the Seaport Hotel where Eric was staying and then headed for the restaurant, which turned out to be not too far away. Another friend, Arne, joined us in this culinary affair. It turned out to be pretty good, and I'd probably go back if it were not for the plethora of other great restaurants in Boston to also try. Here are a few pictures from the dinner. Enjoy!
