The owners of Étoile Cuisine et Bar, Chef Philippe Verpiand and Monica Bui, have created an inviting, warm European environment where both traditional and seasonal French food are front and center. "We want to dispel the notion that French food is heavy and pretentious," says the team, recently transplanted to Houston from San Diego, where they owned the famed Cavaillon Restaurant. Everything about Étoile Cuisine et Bar, from the inviting outside facade to the intriguing interior design to the high quality service, is meant to convey a feeling of truly being in France. With Chef Philippe's take on a seasonal menu using a French technique, it's a place where fine food lovers come together, not on a special occasion, but to enjoy every day.

I very much appreciate your attention to my request to be in the back room corner so we could have a great visit. The food was delicious and the options wonderful for those who wanted a heavy meal (short ribs) and those who wanted to eat lightly (Tuna and Salmon tartare) Have a wonderful summer!

Our first time and absolutely fantastic. Didier our waiter was great. The menu has many choices of our favorite French cuisine, so was hard to decide. Every course was beautifully plated and more than delicious. Homemade rolls, great butter. Drink and wine menu extensive and fairly priced. Even asked Didier if chef would make one of our favorite soups, and he said yes just tell the chef when making the reservation. We live in Clear Lake and only took 40 minutes travel time. We will go back many times and introduce our friends.

The food is always very good. I have been ordering the duck but this time I asked DeDe to make a choice for me. Boneless Short Rib. Very tender and delicious. Nice addition to the lobster avocado salad. my date had the salmon entree which she also enjoyed.

As usual, the food was great. The table service was as expected, except up front we asked the server that we wanted to split the bill among the 6 of us. He told us that he could not split the check according to each person's charges, but he c0uld spit the check up among the credit cards with no problem. When we went to pay the bill, we asked him to split the bill among two couples (i/3 each) and 1/6 each to each of the two single diners. He refused to do this and said he could only split it according to the 4 credit cards offered, 25% each. This, obviously, was a stupid suggestion and, of course, patently unfair to the two single diners. We pointed out this to the server, but no matter what we said, he refused to split the bill any way other than HIS way. While each of the two couples could have presented two credit cards each (two for each couple, one for each person), we decided to call the manager instead. The manager split the bill according to our wishes, 1/3 to each couple and 1/6 to each of the two single diners. However, this situation completely spoiled our good mood and our good feeling for L'Etoile. While we would recommend L/Etoile to a friend, we would also discuss this experience with them.

Excellent food. The pasta special was divine. (basil, vegetables and pappardelle) The dessert was a lemon tart and was as delicious as it was beautiful. The service is one of the best in Houston. I always feel special.

The Coq au Vin is amazing. We loved our waiter. It is very noisy but I blame that more on rude patrons who do not know how to converse politely.

I booked it after reading an article on OpenTable as one of the best brunch places in Houston. The restaurant was great but disappointed when brunch is only served one Sunday. We went on a Saturday hoping for the brunch menu. Small portions with great favor.
