I could not have had a better experience here! The food was incredible, the wine pairing was emaculate, and the atmosphere was beautiful! The most amazing thing about L'Etoile was that ALL the food used was local! I understand the food and beverages are pricey, but you know that walking through the door. The staff's knowledge of the dishes is impressive, they must study more for work than they did at college! The presentation of the food was not only beautiful, but impressive itself. The chefs skills are amazing. I have never seen a thinner sliced onion in my life!

I celebrated an anniversary here and they have us a glass of champagne and delectable bite of the best homemade cracker(?) topped with cheese, which was then topped with an onion jam and decorated with a small chive. I was so impressed!

The wine pairing alone was a treat in itself. We did the 4 wine pairings with each meal which included an entree and dessert. I couldn't even hardly eat my entree, and could not finish the shared dessert either, because it was so hard not to eat everything off my plates.

I wish I could take all my friends and family here at least once. I also would love to experience this fine dining once per year, but it is just not in the budget. Although, when I need a night out with the significant other and we need a romantic night to ourselves this is will be the place to go.

I would also like to add, that they use all their staff. I never saw any person standing in one place for more than a couple minutes. I have never seen a staff work so well together. Everyone was very respectful of one another, and never seemed to make the other staff feel rushed.

I thank all the chefs and other staff for a very memorable night.
