  • I had the opportunity to go to L'Etoile about a month ago as a thank you dinner from a generous colleague. So spur of the moment the hubby and I looked to see if we could get a table on a Friday night. Somewhat surprisingly to me, we didn't have any trouble at all, and the restaurant wasn't even super busy while we were there. We chose to be seated up in the mezzanine area rather than by the window so we could have a little quieter space, plus I enjoyed looking out over the restaurant from our vantage point. We chose to do the a la carte menu and each picked a small plate, entree, and dessert for ourselves. We also decided to do wine by the glass rather than a bottle. I wasn't sure I wanted to drink my half of the bottle and while the options were varied and many, they were also mostly on the pricier side. While I certainly don't mind paying a pretty penny for a REALLY good wine, I also don't feel like most bottles need to be over $100 and I just wasn't feeling it that night. Once we sat down and started perusing the menu (even though I already knew what I was going to order because who goes to a restaurant without looking at the menu beforehand??) we were brought an amuse bouche and they brought us different ones due to the hubby's apple allergy. It was a very tasty bite and added a nice bit of class that we felt throughout the whole evening. We received another one at the end of the meal after we had finished dessert and were enjoying the last of our drinks. I order the duck confit for my first dish, the black cod for my main dish, and the dark chocolate tart for my dessert. All of these were very well prepared and enjoyed immensely. The service we received throughout the evening was wonderful. Our waiter was attentive but gave us plenty of space as we were really trying to just slow down and enjoy each other's company after I had a really taxing week at work. The only slight hiccup was that it took a reeeeally long time for my cocktail to come that I ordered to go with my dessert. When our waiter realized that I wasn't eating my dessert very quickly as I clearly wanted to enjoy it with my drink he went to see what was taking so long and brought it up soon after. He apologized for the delay and comped the drink from our bill since I wasn't going to be able to enjoy it as I had intended. It was a really good cocktail though. Overall I supremely enjoyed my meal at L'Etoile and would definitely come back for a special occasion or if someone else is footing the bill! I think it is worth the money you pay, unfortunately I just can't enjoy that as often as I would like. I would certainly rank this as one of the best restaurants in Madison.
