Pleasantly surprised.
L'Etoile takes an old hat idea of inspiring local S. Valley products with professional and interesting euro inspiration, but they do it better. I didn't expect much when the wife & co. chose it for lunch. The shrimp and grits special were mouth-watering. The vidalia and tomato bisque was appropriately creamy and zesty and the "special tea" they brew fresh by the pitcher and a marvel of loose organic tea from Boston. We've already made reservations for dinner.
Delicious: Sweetbreads were the best I've ever had! Prices were very fair, and portions were huge for a fine dining restaurant. Excellent wine list that included some older vintage Bordeaux-- unheard of for Charlottesville. Atmosphere was second to none, and the service unobtrusive. Wil definately return!
