I've been to L'Etoile three times and they were all very good. Once I ordered the "Sea Scallop" appetizer for $12. When L'Etoile says sea scallop they mean ONE SCALLOP. So how good does one sea scallop have to be, to be worth two hours of minimum-wage labor? It has to be pretty good, and it was. I was skeptical until I tasted it and it was amazing.
One star fewer than perfect because I have to save up for a year before I can afford one meal there.
Special thanks to excellent waiter Frank.
