I recently celebrated my sixth anniversary with my partner at L'Etoile. It was an amazing experience during which I ate some of the best food of my life. \n\nFirst, having told them that it was our anniversary when scheduling reservations, the staff was incredibly attentive and polite. We received complimentary sparkling wine at the start of our meal to toast, followed by custom menus with my name and a special message at the top.\n\nFor eats, we started with carpaccio and an oyster stew. The carpaccio was served with a raw, kohlrabi salad and fingerling potato chips. The grass-fed beef was some of the best meat I've ever had. Our oyster stew was a combination of cornmeal fried oysters and a salsify poured over mushrooms and sunchokes. \n\nOur main courses were the turbot served with roasted fall vegetables and truffle mashed potatoes, and then the pork chop. Both dishes were succulent and perfectly balanced in the flavor and texture departments. \n\nFor drinks, I opted for the wine pairing. At $36 for three glasses of well-matched wine, it's really a good deal. My partner opted for cocktails, which were expertly imagined and refreshing. \n\nOverall, we had a really wonderful experience at L'Etoile. I think the only negative comment I have about this place is that our waiter was weird. Other than that, it was lovely and we'll definitely return to celebrate future special occasions.
