We first came to L’Etoile 6 years ago for a birthday celebration, and we were impressed by the combination of food and service. Since then, we’ve dined at some amazing restaurants... Alinea, Grace, French Laundry just last month.
We came back for our 15th anniversary, and L’Etoile reminded us why we love it so much. While we pondered which sparkling to drink to celebrate, they beat us to the punch and brought complimentary Champagne to celebrate the occasion. The tasting menu was everything we expected, heavily focused on seasonal ingredients (particularly cherries from the market this morning). I have a garden at home and love to cook with what’s on hand... they do it so much better than I do.
Delicious wine throughout, with standouts being amazing monkfish, duck, and a cheddar crepe for the cheese course.
Of course dinner isn’t cheap, but looking through the 30 foot windows at the Capitol, we were as happy as we’ve ever been, even at 3 Michelin Star restaurants at 3 times the price.
