Deedee, was amazing. He make sure my Dear Darling was taken care. Food was superb, is a relax atmosphere. Wine selection is sufficient to any palette, but you must focus on the food. Is hard to choose out their great art. Ask for the secret specials if you are a regular.

Foie gras was not bad, I'm not a big fan of it. Pan seared sea catch of the day was great, I enjoyed the crispiness of the skin and the tender veggies. The bottom of the dish was a little oily though. The duck breast was great, tasted kind of Asian with the sweet and soy elements. Dessert was great, loved the lemon tart.

I enjoyed this place so much! For the longest I had been wanting to try French food, especially the escargot, and it did not disappoint!! Everyrhing was so delicious and my waiter was very friendly! The dessert did take a little longer to come out but I patiently waiting and it was worth it! Definitely recommend!

Came here on a first date. We had a reservation, when we got there, we were told that somehow the app had over booked and there were no tables available but we were more than welcome to sit at the bar. Not the expectation we had going into this type of restaurant. No other accommodation offered but we received a complementary drink. Outside of that, our bartender was awesome. She was very patient and attentive. The food was excellent. But for a restaurant of this scale, it seems really strange they would be having such problems with booking and not doing more to accommodate.

This review is so easy: Etoile is simply one of the best restaurants in Houston, which means it's also one of the best in the United States. This is "special occasion" food at its absolute best. At the same time, you'll be lured to return between occasions because you won't be able to forget the stellar dishes and excellent service. The permanent menu is more than enough reason to become a regular, but Etoile offers an ever-changing list of seasonal specials that keeps things exciting. You will find delicious interpretations of classics like coq au vin, risotto and vichyssoise alongside summery offerings like chilled tomato-basil soup and creative light seafood dishes. Excellent wine list, and as you see from the photos, beautiful desserts. Someone in the kitchen loves vegetables and makes sure they receive the same attentive prep as the meats, rather than just being an afterthought. Applause! Applause! Applause!

This Uptown Houston French restaurant does everything well. It’s been a favorite since it opened. Today I had the Dover Sole and Escargot. The Sole was served accompanied by a delicious mushroom and asparagus risotto. Great service always.

Well-designed interior and decor truly show French delicacy plus impeccable French cuisine make this is one of the best French restaurants in town. The waiter; however, disappointed us with his unwelcome attitude after heard us not going to order alcohol drink…

Can’t say enough about how much we loved stopping in here for a drink & app. First time to Uptown area. Very nice. We sat at the bar & Kim, the bartender was phenomenal. Super sweet and helpful. The foie gras was amazing!!! We ordered bubbles & Kim introduced us to a wonderful French dessert wine that was yummy!

This restaurant has an excellent salmon fillet. The ambience is very enjoyable as well. I was surprised that they use paper menus that look like they’ve been used before; I would’ve expected laminated menus at a restaurant this nice. It speaks volumes about this place that the only complaint is the menu paper, however. Great place!

Great food and service here. We got a variety of dishes: the ravioli, both foie dishes, the bisque, the coq au vin, and the sole. Our favorites were the sole and the ravioli. The foies were also pretty good. I thought the coq au vin lacked flavor and the ravioli was too runny vs my expectation of a creamy substance. All in all a good experience though

My boyfriend and I had dinner here for one of our date nights and we had a great time. The waiter was super friendly and helpful. He recommended a fantastic bottle of white wine and dessert wine. All of the dishes that I ordered were amazing. My boyfriend and I cannot wait to come back next time we are in Houston.

My favourite was the mushroom ravioli! One of the best I have eaten! The scallop risotto was pretty good..we also had the duck and fish everything was fresh & delicious. Good ambience! Waiters were friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend for a fancy dinner spot !

"When it comes to good food, this place is the real deal. From the succulent foie gras to the perfect little desserts, it's hard to pick a favorite! Come hungry and leave happy - that's the motto here

Tables are so close together that there’s no privacy, almost sharing table. Food was just ok but not great. The Dover sole fish was $85 and wasn’t great at all.

Very good French restaurant. Great service, food, flavor, atmosphere and menu options their fish selections are amazing. The grilles shrimp with risotto was delicious. Great wine menu. Highly recommend.

Food was great. A little pricey for the flavors, but everything was still delicious and gorgeous. Service was wonderful, and it was nice and quiet inside. The Panna cotta was especially yummy.

This is one of my favorite places in Houston for upscale French dining. The French waiter that I always seem to get is very helpful and often points out better choices. For example, it's elected a wine and he noted that what they have their for that varietal is actually fairly sweet. Most recently I had the lobster bisque which was excellent and the steak au poivre. The steak was perfectly cooked in. The sauce was excellent. The description of the portilla au chocolate didn't sound as interesting as the waiters. He sold me on it and I'm glad because it was excellent... An ooey gooey lump of melted dark chocolate in a very light pastry. That, with a little port, was an excellent and to a wonderful meal.

This is an upscale French restaurant that manages to emanate Parisian bistro vibes somehow to me. I came here for the first time on Sunday, August 27, 2023 for a sampling of their Houston Restaurant Week Brunch menu with a friend. Firstly, the atmosphere is really welcoming only in the front section of the dining room. We got a table near the back, closer to the kitchen and it was a struggle hearing the other person talk sometimes. The way they set up the tables is very romantic, even during the daytime lol. The rose with baby's breath in a small glass vase is a nice flair, very Parisian. The HRW brunch menu was interesting but the options are not as diverse as I would hope. For my app, I chose the Escargots Du Burgogne (surprised it's misspelled on their menu). I've had more than my fair share of garlic butter escargot in other French restaurants, and this one sorely disappointed me in taste. The snails were much smaller than expected and the parsley notes were very bitter and overpowered the natural aroma of anything steamed with butter. I would not order this again here. For main entree, I opted for the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon. Eggs Benedict is one of my favorite breakfast items to eat at many brunch places, so my standards are high. This one was pretty decent but the poached eggs weren't the right texture. I wish the egg whites had more texture, these fell apart pretty easily as soon as I cut into them. It was hard to distinguish whether the Hollandaise was prepared correctly as the notes from the smoked Salmon were pretty strong. However, just from observation the consistency is much too thin. For dessert, I chose the Clafoutis with Nectarines (Clafoutis Aux Nectarines). FYI, this is an additional $4 to your bill. I didn't pay attention to this disclaimer and kind of wish I had skipped it. The only Clafoutis I'm familiar with is the one baked with raspberries. Nectarines are very faint in taste to begin with so overall it tastes like cinnamon apple pie somewhat. Not bad at all but the texture is too sticky. Overall I would not recommend the HRW menu. There is no complimentary valet, I paid $8 for 2 hours. The name of this restaurant is very cute, Etoile means star in French. I however, would like to sample the Duck Confit, Foie Gras and Pistachio custard next time. I know for a fact this is a very popular brunch spot in the area.
