Everything about Étoile Cuisine et Bar, from the inviting outside facade to the intriguing interior design to the high quality service, is meant to convey a feeling of truly being in France. With Chef Philippe's take on a seasonal menu using a French technique, it's a place where fine food lovers come together, not on a special occasion, but to enjoy every day.

I really enjoyed the Wednesday night special that comes with a complimentary charcuterie spread for a group of 4 or more ladies. The drinks were wonderful and the ambiance was really great. We had the owner as our server and she was so sweet checking in on us to make sure we had what we needed. I loved that we had couches and a private area. It is nice to go somewhere for drinks that has proper seating for catching up. The music was not over powering to where we couldn't hear one another speaking. The front entry is actually an adorable candy shop and there is FREE CANDY! It was an extremely nice treat. Drink prices were fair for the times we are in. Bathroom were cute and each stall had its own sink. Great touch. There was a cute photo opp with the mirrors in the bathroom corridor as well. With a little lighting, it would be amazing! Would absolutely return. Would be a great spot to start being a regular
