About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

Bistro Eté is everything you long for in a restaurant tucked away in a quaint spot in The Mill Center. Transformed by Interior Designer Karen Gorman to reflect an understated chic and comfortable style that transports you to the Coast of France. This unpretentious dining experience celebrates food and wine in a setting for all the senses yet does not compete with the flavors.

Chef Arie, inspired by his Cypriot heritage, formal training at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and his years working under Two Star Michelin Chef Philippe Da Silva in Provence, presents cuisine reflective of this coastal style. Longtime customers can still indulge in his classic dishes such as escargot, striped bass with champagne truffle sauce and his own dry aged steaks. Of course Chef Arie’s menu will include many mouthwatering vegan and vegetarian dishes driven by altering his favorite recipes for his vegetarian wife.

I found Bistró Ete while looking for reviews on TripAdvisor. It exceeded our expectations. A very good menu and a well-curated wine list. An excellent chef. Definitely worth recommending. The only thing to keep in mind is that it can be quite noisy (for those who might find that bothersome). ¿Querés que lo adapte a un tono más formal, más casual o tal cual como está?

Went to Bistro ETE for dinner. The vibe is laid back but sophisticated. The service is top notch and the food is really delicious! Liz is Chef Arie’s wife. She greets you and Arie “ works” the bar. The restaurant is bustling and they are both seamlessly “ dancing” around each other running the show. They are checking on everything and everyone! Turns out last night was not only my birthday but Arie’s and 2 other tables right next to us the same celebration. He popped open champagne and served us all! We had latkes( better than your grandma makes!) and Fried artichokes. Not sure how they weren’t greasy at all but they weren’t. My husband had chicken and I had NY strip. Not his most gourmet choices but so well seasoned and prepared perfectly!!!!!!! Most of the menu is extremely creative…. Chef Arie clearly pays attention to detail. I would highly recommend this fabulous restaurant tucked away in Water Mill New York….. really great!
