'New French' Le Sel Is So, So Close to Opening in Midtown

The countdown now appears to be on for the opening of this fall's most anticipated new restaurant, Le Sel, as multiple sources tell Eater that service could officially start as soon as next week.

While menu details are still few and far between, the restaurant's interior continues to come together, with a majority of the finishes now in and a variety of seating and other details being put into place. The main dining room is certainly taking on a bistro style, with the downstairs bar having more of a clubby vibe.
