L'Etoile is one of those places that you go to for special ocassions but find yourself constantly daydreaming about their delicious dishes! I celebrated my 25th birthday here and sampled a few dishes throughout the 4-course meal with delectable mini bites between courses. Absolutely everything I had here was superb. This is my favorite kind of establishment: seasonal, fresh food that speaks for itself, not a lot of fanfare, classy and simple. The menu constantly changes which is always a good sign in any restaurant. I thoroughly enjoyed the chef's approach in the preparation of the ingredients. Each component shines on its own but when combined they are incredible. Technique and execution were flawless and just a pleasure to see in the plate.
L'Etoile is advertised as French cuisine and although the menu does have a strong influence of French flavors and techniques I would describe L'Etoile as a modern American restaurant with a French flair. Sounds delicious? Well, it is! Highly recommended.
