I visited Sel Noir this past Sunday for the first time with some friends. Overall it was a great experience. Our server Tony recommended us some cocktails. We tried the New York Sour & the Purple Haze which were delicious. For the starters we tried the beef & salmon tartares & for main we got rib-eyes. Top-notch. It was great , however it is more on the pricier side. We will definitely be back!

J'ai adoré mon expérience au sel noir! Service impeccable & personnalisé. Sans parler de la nourriture, tout était délicieux!! C'est certain qu'on va revenir pour un autre date night, l'ambiance est parfaite pour ça!
Good & friendly service... nice ambiance... solid experience. Great cook on the steak. Enjoy the salmon gravlax & the burratta to start. Split the surf n turf for 2. Which is a very generous portion. Really nice crust on the tomahawk... ive been back a few times... really holds up**
Went back in November... it holds up. The new French onion soupnwith short rib is amazing.
We went yesterday for our anniversary. Was so excited to go here as my husband wanted steak. I'm unfortunately a vegetarian & they ran out of everything they had options for me to have. The waitress was so kind but, I don't think we would ever go back. No flavour not the best food. Not worth the drive. Great atmosphere & kind staff though!

The food was disappointing & the service was quite slow, but the spicy margarita & strawberry cheesecake were both delicious & definitely the highlight of the evening.

A wonderful steakhouse experience with quality dishes & warm atmosphere. The steak was well-prepared & the truffle fries were a flavourful treat, but the true standout was the cheesecake; rich, smooth, & easily the best part of the meal. Highly recommend!
We chose this spot for our 4 years anniversary. It's a pretty restaurant with a good ambiance. The drinks & food were good but the service was mid. An incident that made us a bit frustrated was when our server, Gabriel, took our half finished plates away in his hands & then after asked'fini?'while walking away. When we decided to ask for the bill, it took forever to get his attention & then forever again to come back for payment. We wanted to be comprehensive that they might be busy, but they were mostly just chatting among themselves. Also, we mentioned about our anniversary in the reservation, not that we were expecting anything, but just a verbal congrats would've made us feel appreciated. We had a tab of $500+ & still decided to leave 18% tip, but we don't think we will come back.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant last night. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was inviting & the service was both professional & warm. I will definitely be back.
Le chef etait vraiment agréable & sa bouffe était excellente sauf que le service à la clientèle était médiocre la serveuse qui nous a servi était tout sauf agréable
Excellent souper. Nous avons pris le filet mignon & le steak NYork. En accompagnement les asperges & la pomme de terre au four gratinée. Les cuissons étaient parfaites. Les asperges un peu croquante comme il se doit. Mais la patate… un pur délice ! Servis en 20 min, tout était parfait sauf la musique d'ambiance, mais peut-être suis-je trop vieille !
Had a great experience at Sel Noir! Went here for dinner with a group of 12 guys to celebrate a bachelor party. The space is beautiful & gives perfect steakhouse vibes. The staff gave excellent recommendations to feed us all within our budget. We ended up getting a few Rib Eye surf & turf meals for the table as well as an assortment of appetizers. The steaks were huge & all the meat was all beautifully cooked. The bone marrow beef tartare & grilled octopus appetizers were also incredible.
The wine selection was extensive & we all left there feeling like we ate a meal fit for royalty. 10/10 would recommend as the food & service is awesome. Will absolutely be going back. Thank you to all the staff for the excellent meal & hospitality!
