I have always given L'Etoile 5 stars, until now. You can go to many restaurants in Madison for fine dining, but L'Etoile was the only place in Madison to go for a dining experience. Six or seven FULL courses spread out over 2 and a half hours. Waiters and Waitresses who explained the farm to table detail of each course you were eating. If you are a foodie, L'Etoile WAS different. My disappointment has come with the new tasting menu structure. Seven courses for $125.00 and you get no choices. You get what you get. Portions are ridiculously small because they are a TASTE. If you don't care for a course or two, I guess you'll have to stop at McDonalds on the way home. We were told we could do the 3-course a la carte if we still wanted choices. I don't come to L'Etoile for 3-courses, I can go anywhere for that, I come to L'Etoile for something special. We used to enjoy starting our dinner with a cheese board selection, and that isn't even an option any longer. Service is more chaotic than it used to be at the old building. We probably had 6 different people serving us food, we never knew who was going to pop over. Most of them didn't have a clue what they were serving you. Our original Waiter was wonderful, but got busy with other tables and was lost to us about half-way into our dinner. With a final tab of $380, I am very saddened by the experience for the first time in 10 years. Chef Tory Miller may be spreading himself too thin and not concentrating on his mother ship restaurant. PLEASE bring back the old L'Etoile menu!
