It's tough to find rustic French food that's more rustic (or more French) than roast chicken with haricot verts, truffled mac and cheese, and a cheese course instead of dessert.It's also tough to find four different glasses of wine on a restaurant menu that will cost you $38 or less for the lot of them.
Toughest of all is to find that food and those wines in a casual, comfortable location that lets you savor it and linger.
Yet all of that -- four courses of rustic French food PLUS four glasses of wine (one for each course) -- is exactly what you get every single Wednesday at Sel de la Terre's Long Wharf location.
For $38 all in.
We don't really get the math on this one. But that's for Sel de la Terre's accountant to worry about, not us.
So is it tough to find the perfect way to celebrate your cruise right on out of mid-week Wednesday?
No. Not tough at all.

Pisco from Chile comes from the muscatel grape and it is "transparent, virtuous, and serene as the angelic force that emanates from the land," writes Isabel Allende writes in her memoir, My Invented Country. "Pisco is the prime ingredient of the pisco sour, our sweet and treacherous national drink, which must be drunk with confidence, though the second glass has a kick that can floor the most valiant among us."
