Bar Etoile
New American
A French-leaning wine list runs deep at this cozy New American bistro on Western, but the kitchen earns its share of the attention. The menu is short and seasonal, built around what the market turned up that week rather than any fixed idea of itself. The cooking is restrained in the way that actually requires confidence. Wine Enthusiast named it one of the top new restaurants in 2025, and the Michelin Guide has it selected.
Three honors, in evidence:
The record strongest first
- Wine Enthusiast Top 50 New Restaurants
- Michelin Guide Selected Restaurant
