| - Consider this effectively reviewing by proxy. A good friend went there, and raved endlessly about it. I have done my homework, know it HAS to be good, but was unable to eat there personally when I was in town. None the less...
Think Chez Panisse of the Midwest. No - REALLY. This place is more or less a clone, complete with lower priced fare in a cafe under the main restaurant.
L'etoile won the James Beard award for Best Restaurant in the Midwest. So suffice to say - you just KNOW it is the best quality food around. But with such good food, comes of course price, so expect to be exceeding your per diem FOR SURE. Still, if you are into this type of dining experience, it doesn't get any better than this.
Watch for occasional price fixe dinners - they had one when I was out there, where it was an evening of Spanish food, from start to finish. I really want someone to eat here, and tell me how it is (and my buddy did), as I did not make it there (yet). Couldn't convince any of my compadres to venture upstairs to eat.
But for the foodies, consider this Mecca.
