By far the most amazing atmosphere and culinary experience in MV we had all week! Will definitely be back!
The food and service were outstanding. We had gnocchi, halibut, oysters, and duck. Everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. The berry pavlova for dessert was light and so delicious. Prices are high but that's to be expected in MV.
Fantastic experience all around!
Our dinner at L’ETOILE was the best we’ve had on the Vineyard thus far. My filet was delicious and cooked to perfection. One of my daughters had halibut and the other, Surf & Turf. The food was beautifully presented and delicious.
Our server, Lola, was attentive, engaging and truly an asset to L’ETOILE.
Our dining experience was outstanding in every way!
Foods, service and setting was amazing!!!!
food was excellent, by and large mich better than very good and acclaimed restaurants in Boston. The service was cordial and attentive to your needs. strongly recommended
Our evening was one of the most enjoyable we have had dining out on the Vineyard. Lovely food, impeccable service and dining out under the tent was charming.
Terrific food, great service, and lovely atmosphere. The owner/chef’s wife seated us and gave us a nice overview of the menu. Waiter was quite knowledgeable about how everything was prepared. Wine list is quite good. Would definitely return!
Food was incredible and the company was even better. Loved meeting the chef and his wife as they were so accommodating! Our server, Lola, also knocked it out of the park. Will come back!
The food and service are amazing out door tent was fine but could be a little more upscale to match everything else
We dined on a warm autumn evening to celebrate our 25th anniversary and L'Etoile delivered. The charming co-owner seated us in a tent just off of the main house - all guests during the pandemic are seated outside either in one of two tents our on the front lawn under lights and I have to say at first I feared what the experience would be like but I was pleasantly surprised. The tent is magical - they've done a lovely job with ambiance and decor in the main tent and it honestly might be preferable to the cozy interior. The food and drink were exquisite. Don't miss the Startini - it's divine - and I supped on their gazpacho - perfectly spiced and balanced; the gnocchi with a medley of mushrooms - the pillowy consistency and bite of this dish are sublime; and the short rib melted in my mouth with its caramelized and toothsome texture with incredible cheesy polenta base. My husband loved the oysters and his duck was a bit overdone but delicious. Don't skip dessert! The chocolate mousse over cherries jubilee was heavenly. I can't remember when I enjoyed a meal this much. Well done all around. L'Etoile is a very special place and we will definitely return on our next trip to Edgartown and MV.
This was our first dinner during our honeymoon and it was absolutely incredible! The food was amazing and the service was impeccable. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate the start of our lives together.

Anniversary celebration
We experienced polite attentive service. The meal was so outstanding, we booked again 2 nights later. Oysters from Katama Bay were expertly prepared. Possibly the best lobster and lamb dishes on the planet. Fabulous cocktails!
Restaurant has an excellent location and ambience. The food and service was exceptional. Our sever was particularly attentive and when she asked us if we were celebrating an event, we told her that it was our 40th wedding anniversary and we had our honeymoon in Edgartown. A guest overheard this conversation and picked up the tab for our meal. Great experience.
Cheers, Ed Cooney

It was a wonderful restaurant. It was getting cold and there inability to serve inside was the only drawback
L’etoile never disappoints. The food is consistently good and the service is impeccable. The ambiance has suffered a little due to covid but this is temporary. And while it is an expensive meal, one can count on leaving feeling satisfied with the food and the experience.
Truly an outstanding experience in every possible way, as fine dining as anywhere we've been. As close to perfection as possible from greeting upon arrival to our table location to the wait staff attention and warmth. Superb food and presentation. Always a must for us when we are on The Vineyard.
