| - I've been to L'Etoile a couple times, most recently for my and my girlfriend's second anniversary. Both times, I noted top quality performance across the board in all categories that I am thoughtful of when dining at a restaurant: atmosphere, noise level, service, food and drink. I'll focus on the latter two since the first two are self-explanatory.
Before coming, in our reservation, we indicated our allergies and the special event. We were seated and noted that the menus had a printed congratulatory, Happy 2nd Anniversary, an impressive detail. Our waiter confirmed our individual allergies without our need to mention, another detail we don't observe at other fine dining restaurants. Great start.
We were greeted by our waiter, Olen, with champagne and a little bite to whet the appetite. He explained this was a congratulatory start to our special night. Olen was consistently on the ball all evening; perfectly timing checking up on us and delivering food, providing excellent recommendations on the drink menu, providing interesting history of the food, and maintaining the utmost standard of courtesy.
We were lucky to get the tasting menu; it's my favorite way to enjoy a variety of flavors and explore a diverse creativity. Hats off to Chef Tory Miller and the rest of the chefs here. The food was perfectly cooked and were representative of fresh, local flavor. A great mix of varying temperatures and textures on dishes. Even the dishes that werent neccessarily my preference I could sincerely appreciate for its outstanding significance and presentation.
A great evening that could not be improved upon in any particular way. Thanks for an exceptional experience, L'Etoile.
