"How do the French pull off that serene and beautiful thing?  Sel et Poivre has the trick down.  Pale-yellow walls, hung with black-and-white French streetscapes.  Pureed red snapper and sea bass are blended with a tangy tomato broth to make a full-bodied soup.  The accompanying plate of homemade croutons, rouille sauce and shreds of Swiss cheese came with polite instructions from the waiter: "Spread ze sauce on ze crouton, top with fromage, and float in ze soup like little boats."  The mushroom-leek risotto is rich and dense and tasted of dry white wine; the sauteed skate au beurre noir is similarly flavorful and luxurious.  The $27 prix-fixe includes three courses - no substitutions.  That's okay, because the divine chocolate mousse is included."

"Few bistros more welcoming and comfortable than this small, cozy spot. Menu done beautifully: moules frites, steak au poivre, duck magret, steak frites salad, calf's liver à la lyonaise, roasted chicken, and grilled salmon. Couscous offered on Saturday nights. Perfect place for a tête-à-tête." - Forbes, October 9, 1995 * * *
