Instantly my favorite spot on Long Island. We only had drinks, the seafood tower, and mussels in white wine sauce—but that was enough to know this place is off the hook.The tower was overflowing, not the usual bite or two you get at other places. It’s literally the experience I’ve been waiting for on the Island forever. The vibe is effortless—chill but elevated—and the service made it feel like we were regulars on day one. And the fact that it’s just three blocks from my house? That’s a gift from the universe.
Everything was SO delicious, fresh and flavorful. So excited to go back and try more menu items. From drinks to appetizers to entrees to dessert everything was amazing. 10/10 recommend.
What a great experience all around. I didn’t get anyone’s names, which is unusual, but the entire staff including the Hostesses and the Manager were truly great. I called to make a Mothers Day reservation and the woman was very nice, I also had the chance to thank her at the restaurant. We arrived on Sunday for our reservation, we were a little early but were seated right away. Our waitress was very pleasant as well as prompt, and genuinely interested in our experience and overall satisfaction. The food was excellent. We ordered the tuna tartare as the appetizer to share. It was delicious, the kids and I loved it. My wife (Mom) ordered the escargot which was prepared beautifully and came with little toasts on the side. We were brought a bread plate which was a nice touch. For the meals my kids ordered the steak frites, filet mignon and the strip. Absolutely delicious, could’ve used another minute on the heat, but excellent none the less. Mom ordered the Wagyu steak tartare as her entree, and when they say it is made table side, they mean it. Our waitress brought over the cart, showed us the wares, prepared it to her liking. Mom was very happy . And I saw the moules (mussels) and had to have them, but couldn’t decide with which sauce. They had four options. I asked the waitress for her recommendation, and she said the mustard cream sauce. I was skeptical, but intrigued, as I had never considered it before. Wow! Very very delicious and I was so happy to have had that recommended. I recommend it to anyone dining here. We did not do dessert as we had a reservation at another place for Mother’s Day dessert, but they had very nice options. Mom did have an espresso martini which she loved. The atmosphere was very very nice. Tables spaced nicely, decor was pleasant, appropriate music played at a comfortable sound level, and plenty of windows that let in the right amount of sunlight. The service was impeccable. Everyone was working together as a team to ensure all diners had a wonderful experience. I could tell they cared very much about their business. Needless to say, the ratings are true to their number and I’m adding such to the list. I absolutely recommend and know that anyone that dines here will have the same great experience that we did. Thank you L’Etoile!
Such a beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere and great food. The service is impeccable and you are transported to the streets of Paris with the ambiance, music, and authentic cuisine. Esmeralda and Gerardo are personable and create a lively atmosphere. The host, Giulia, was extremely accommodating and made sure we were taken care of. You can’t go wrong wrong with a date night or dinner here!
Came to L’Etoile for a birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! It is a refined French bistro with an elegant atmosphere, beautifully prepared dishes and top-notch service. For starters, we had tuna tartare, escargot, and lobster bisque - all stand outs. For main, the duck is a must have. It was perfectly cooked with a crisp skin and orange honey glaze. For dessert, we had the crepes grand marnier which were flambéed table-side. They have a great cocktail list too! L’etoile is an Oyster Bay gem— can’t wait to come back!
We had a wonderful dinner here. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had the foie gras plater, salad, mussels and duck. The duck was especially delicious. The lemon tart dessert was delicious as well. The staff was friendly and accommodating especially our server Brianna. The interior is decorated to perfection and the chairs were so comfortable I didn’t want to get up. I live in the area and we will definitely be back.
From the moment you walk in the door, you are met with a first class experience. The service throughout the restaurant was welcoming and helpful and all three courses of our meal were very well executed. Place that in a newly renovated space that pays tribute to its history in subtle ways, you have a special new restaurant on Long Island. Will definitely be back!
Sat at the bar with a friend. It was the perfect spot. Great atmosphere and the food was incredible. We had the salmon. Hands down the best I've ever had. Our bartender, Gerardo, was stellar. Would gladly return here.
