| - L'Etoile (LE) succeeds on every level, and does so brilliantly. You will be hard pressed to find equal, let alone better, food, service, and ambiance. Located on S. Pinckney St. right across from the beautiful state capital building, the architect took full advantage of this by using glass for almost the entire front of the building. Diners are given the visual treat of gazing at the sites while enjoying the artwork from the kitchen.
I'll spare you the blow by blow on what we ate; everything was superb. Sourced from local farms, the food was fresh and thoughtfully prepared. While LE suggests French cuisine, I thought it was more new-American.
Our sever Michael was perhaps the best waiter I've ever encountered. Knowledgeable, pleasant, and obviously a lover of good food and drink, his descriptions of the dishes, preparations, and wines were as good as the food itself. Be sure to ask for him.
So, if you want the hat trick of great food, ambiance, and service look no further than LE.
