Saddest Boston Restaurant Closures of 2018 - Eater Boston

"Les Sablons was a rare failure from Garrett Harker and company that had carved a lovely pair of rooms out of an impossibly narrow Harvard Square building, and served fancy food with great flair." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

Les Sablons French Restaurant Closed in Cambridge’s Harvard Square - Eater Boston

"Les Sablons — the newest restaurant from the team behind Island Creek Oyster Bar and Row 34 — is closing after a little over a year in business. Located in a uniquely narrow historical building in Cambridge’s Harvard Square (2 Bennett St.), the elegant restaurant featured French-inspired fine dining on the upper level and a more casual ground-floor oyster and cocktail bar." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

My wife and I had a lovely dinner here. The food was delicious and the drink menu was extensive. Our server was not very good. We had to listen to the neighboring table for daily specials and food descriptions. When we were done, we had to wait quite a while for our check. For a place like this, service should be impeccable.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had in the U.S. Upstairs formal dining room is perfect for date night. Love the design of the building and ambience.

What a great place!! The food was delicious, small plates. Wonderful preparation and taste. The asparagus was tender and well seasoned, the beef tartar was one of the best I ever had (and I'm a tartar corniseur), the drinks have been excellent (no wonder, they one of Boston's best bartenders on staff) Service was very attentive and made everyone right at home. The atmosphere is very nice, love the two floor layout and design of the space is a great mix if french inspired and modern. A must go spot and worth the trip from anywhere!!!

Food was very average except for the Rye Pasta appetizer which was fantastic. Service was very very slow. Waited a long time for everything even though the restaurant was half full. Given the ridiculously high price the food is very average. I have had much better fish for half the price. The space is beautiful but that is the only thing great about this restaurant. We had high hopes but will not be back.

The food was wonderful and the cocktails were delicious. The atmosphere is great, I felt for a moment like I was in Paris. The reason for the 4 stars was our server. He was not very attentive at all. The table next to us had the most amazing server, she explained everything so well and we learned more about the menu from her than from our own server. He also didn't check in on us enough, we would have probably ordered more of he had. Will be back for cocktails at the bar though.

Sophisticated. Delicious. The food is an experience! Wait staff is amazing. We hosted a private party and though the coordinator was unresponsive and rude. The GM took it upon himself to make it right. We ended up having an amazing night we were all really pleased with everything.

Food was very good, but not great. Some of my potatoes were undercooked, but the fish and scallops were cooked perfectly. The service was impeccable, although no one ever crumbed our tablecloth. (It needed it.) Overall, probably a bit overpriced. And I expect cooked potatoes from a Beard nominee.
