L’Étoile Restaurant

The service is excellent, the cocktails are amazing. The food is very good, but pricey. The dining room atmosphere is a little plain, the bar side is beautiful. Never going to be disappointed.

My wife and I came here for her birthday dinner. The waitress, Marry Beth and the others that waited on us were top notch, they provided us with the best service! Marry Beth was very helpful at explaining how the foods were prepared and was very attentive along with the rest of the staff. The food was great, from the starters to the desert it was absolutely delicious. We couldn't have asked for a better eperience with the service or food, we will certainly be back!

My husband and I had dinner at l'etoile for our wedding anniversary and we're impressed by the restaurant's ambience, food, and level of service. Food: - Braised short ribs ($22) were delicious but it was the maple-smoked cheddar polenta that temped us to lick the plate clean - Lamb chop ($52) was delicious, no gamey-ness at all. The accompanying spinach and roast tomato grape leaf tartlet seemed random but was very tasty! - Lobster ($68) was delicious, as was the pasta. That said, this entree was spendy. Ambience: Like many businesses in Edgartown, this restaurant is in a house, with seating on the front lawn on Adirondack chairs, inside in tastefully renovated rooms with mood lighting, or outside under a semi-permanent tent that still has tables dressed with white tablecloths and decorated as tastefully as the restaurant's indoor dining tables. Service: The staff were very friendly, attentive, well-trained, quick with the water refills, and not too stuffy or pompous. We felt very welcome! Parking: Street parking only, which can be hard to come by in the area, even during the off season.

By far the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. I wholeheartedly trust L’etoile with all of my special occasions. The atmosphere is charming inside as well as outside on the patio. Once you get used to the outstanding level of service that is provided here, it is hard to go back to most restaurants. The menu provides enough choices for any level of pickiness, and you can absolutely taste the hard work and ingenuousness behind it in every single bite. The cocktails are out of this world, and, combined with the amazing atmosphere at the bar, I often meet my friends here to enjoy a cocktail and have an amazing time. Every time.

L’étoile Restaurant provides an exceptional upscale dining experience within a beautiful setting, both indoors and outdoors. Located inside the hotel, the ambiance is perfect for an intimate dinner or a family outing. The hostess and staff were friendly and professional, making the evening even more enjoyable. I began my meal with the pan-seared, spice-crusted fresh La Belle Farm duck foie gras, which was honestly the best foie gras I've ever tasted. The charred factor added a unique twist, enhancing the flavor without overpowering the delicate texture, allowing the foie gras to still melt in your mouth. For the entrée, I chose the étuvée of 1 1/2-pound Menemsha lobster, a dish bursting with flavor. The sauce, highlighted by roasted garlic, truly made the lobster shine. To finish, I enjoyed an espresso martini, one of the best I've had in a long time. This version used chocolate liquor, offering a delightful twist on the classic drink. While I wasn't a fan of the "Matcha My Freak" and "Whistle While You Work" cocktails, I suspect it was more due to my personal taste preferences. Despite this, I am eager to return and try other drinks on the menu. Overall, L’étoile Restaurant is a fantastic location for an elegant dining experience. I highly recommend it for those seeking a sophisticated meal in a picturesque setting.

The dining experience here is formal and classy. With white table clothes and plenty of greenery around it makes for a nice date night out. The food was very good but just shy of being excellent. It’s a must stop if in Edgartown whether you want dinner or a few drinks.

This was a great experience. Good food and cocktails, also amazing service. Loved the Australian influence, especially the lamb and the pavlova. Everything we ordered tasted fantastic, including the drinks. Definitely try the Startini, and if you like Bellinis drink the Syndeytini. We felt like the price was appropriate for the food/experience. And very reasonable for Martha's Vineyard. Also I loved the pea and asparagus soup. Yes good enough for its own paragraph.

My Wife and I had an amazing dining experience at L'Etoile from the moment we arrived to good bye! We ate out in the front yard which made all the difference. The lawn dining area / open tent is close enough to the street to see people go by but not too close for comfort. The garden area as you walk in was in peak bloom. It was a cool summer night with soft blues playing from a bar close by. We had Oysters Two-Styles. I Never had an oyster with cream in the shell, very good and std vinegar type. Excellent. The Menemsha Lobster was prepared perfectly and so was the Rack of Lamb Chops. I would go back in a heartbeat but it took months to get a reservation. Cost for dinner and drinks for two was $213 + tip. A real night to remember.
