About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
Bistro Eté is everything you long for in a restaurant tucked away in a quaint spot in The Mill Center. Transformed by Interior Designer Karen Gorman to reflect an understated chic and comfortable style that transports you to the Coast of France. This unpretentious dining experience celebrates food and wine in a setting for all the senses yet does not compete with the flavors.

Chef Arie, inspired by his Cypriot heritage, formal training at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and his years working under Two Star Michelin Chef Philippe Da Silva in Provence, presents cuisine reflective of this coastal style. Longtime customers can still indulge in his classic dishes such as escargot, striped bass with champagne truffle sauce and his own dry aged steaks. Of course Chef Arie’s menu will include many mouthwatering vegan and vegetarian dishes driven by altering his favorite recipes for his vegetarian wife.

    It was our first visit to the restaurant, from the moment we arrived you know you are ìn a special place. The greeting when we arrived by owner Ari and his wife made you, feel like a regular. The ambience Was spot on from the music to the lighting,and noise level not existent. Cocktails freshly made and the menu of very unique drinks were ordered by many. Service by our waiter Arturo was very attentive, And that was just the beginning of a fantastic dining experience ! I need to eat gluten-free. And they had so many choices and the menu, It was terrific! I ordered escargot Which was accomcomped by gluten Free bread so as not to waste the delicious sauce. The bacon wrapped pork loin was very flavorful and cooked perfectly! And the apple tatin,a perfect ending to a perfect meal! We will definitely be regular customers , and if you have not experienced this restaurant don't miss it!!!
