love sitting in the bar here to have dinner (they serve full menu). The octopus is the most tender and flavorful that I've had on the island. The game hen is fabulous and the watermelon beet salad was also great. If you are visiting Edgartown, dinner here should not be missed. The bartenders mix up a great drink and are very personable. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu!
Started with the Foie Gras, my wife didnt know what it was... it was outstanding. 5/5
Secondly we had the cheese plate. All four cheeses we fantastic. 5/5
Wife had the Salmon with saphron and horseradish sauce and she doesnt even like horseradish. She really enjoyed it. The mustard crust was her favorite part and she thought she liked a little more "oily" 4.5/5
I had the ribeye. I thought it was good but liked the starters better. Steak is steak to me and i need to be really bowled over to love it. 4/5
We split a chocolate dish for desert.. 5/5
Vlad was our server and he was very nice and did a great job. All the service was spot on. 5/5
Price was fair. Would go again. (Especially for the 1st's and 2nd's 😂)
This was a great experience. Good food and cocktails, also amazing service. Loved the Australian influence, especially the lamb and the pavlova. Everything we ordered tasted fantastic, including the drinks. Definitely try the Startini, and if you like Bellinis drink the Syndeytini. We felt like the price was appropriate for the food/experience. And very reasonable for Martha's Vineyard.
Also I loved the pea and asparagus soup. Yes good enough for its own paragraph.
My husband and I had dinner at l'etoile for our wedding anniversary and we're impressed by the restaurant's ambience, food, and level of service.
Food:
- Braised short ribs ($22) were delicious but it was the maple-smoked cheddar polenta that temped us to lick the plate clean
- Lamb chop ($52) was delicious, no gamey-ness at all. The accompanying spinach and roast tomato grape leaf tartlet seemed random but was very tasty!
- Lobster ($68) was delicious, as was the pasta. That said, this entree was spendy.
Ambience:
Like many businesses in Edgartown, this restaurant is in a house, with seating on the front lawn on Adirondack chairs, inside in tastefully renovated rooms with mood lighting, or outside under a semi-permanent tent that still has tables dressed with white tablecloths and decorated as tastefully as the restaurant's indoor dining tables.
Service:
The staff were very friendly, attentive, well-trained, quick with the water refills, and not too stuffy or pompous. We felt very welcome!
Parking:
Street parking only, which can be hard to come by in the area, even during the off season.
My Wife and I had an amazing dining experience at L'Etoile from the moment we arrived to good bye! We ate out in the front yard which made all the difference. The lawn dining area / open tent is close enough to the street to see people go by but not too close for comfort. The garden area as you walk in was in peak bloom. It was a cool summer night with soft blues playing from a bar close by. We had Oysters Two-Styles. I Never had an oyster with cream in the shell, very good and std vinegar type. Excellent. The Menemsha Lobster was prepared perfectly and so was the Rack of Lamb Chops. I would go back in a heartbeat but it took months to get a reservation. Cost for dinner and drinks for two was $213 + tip. A real night to remember.
I have stopped by here a couple of times. The first time we just had a couple glasses of wine outside on the lawn in the adirondack chairs. It feels very homey and beautiful with the English cottage style garden surrounding you. The staff are all wonderful. We came the other day and we were just going to have some wine again while we waited on our table at another restaurant. That restaurant didn't hold our table and we came back here to see if they could seat us even though it was so late. They were amazing and sat us with no issue. The food was spectacular. As always, the staff are friendly and professional. I wish they stayed open all year.
Enjoyed almost everything about our dining experience. Good cocktails and we both had the lamb which was perfect. The greeter and our waitress both provided a high level of service which I appreciated. The only thing I did not enjoy was their cherry creme brulee which was unfortunately disgusting and ruined my palate. I would just avoid it in the future. The more I think about it, I think something went wrong with it perhaps.
Very good on all fronts. Great food and service - one of the best meals I've had on the island. Everything we ordered was delicious and the lamb was done perfectly the short rib melted in your mouth, and the gnocchi had a nice pan sear without being overdone. The wine was also delicious with bottles in a variety of price ranges. My only regret is that I didn't order the gelato - not because my dessert wasn't good, but because the gelato was just fantastic.
The perfect spot for a special date night or celebration. Must order: short ribs, the surf & turf with the best house made pasta ever, and any of the desserts! They have both indoor seating, bar seating, and outdoor. seating that's in a closed in tent (with heaters if it's a cold night), so the spaces are varied for what you're looking for. Reservations suggested specially in the middle of summer!
Great service, amazing oysters! The octopus was cooked to perfection with the most amazing sauce!
My husband had the surf and turf which was excellent and worth the money! I had the halibut fish it was ok, the chimichuri tasted like fresh greens almost grassy, didn’t have any herby flavours of a chimichuri. I would never order that if we went back!
The dessert cobbler was amazing! Order it!
One of my favorite French restaurants. Food is superb. Highly recommended.
Enjoyed the experience of the private event at L'Etoile after the opening night for the MVAAFF. The atmosphere was nice, with both indoor and outdoor options.
