We had high expectation because of the good reviews, but were a bit disappointed. Atmosphere was good, starters and desserts were good, but the steak (which is the most expensive course) was disappointing. My friend requested it to be served medium rare, but it’s more like medium or well done. We complained about the steak and requested for a replacement. We did get a replacement after a long wait. but after that we felt that we were completely neglected by the staff.

I really wanted to like this place, especially since I usually love mussels. Unfortunately, my recent visit was far from enjoyable.
To start, even though it was only 5 PM on a Monday and the restaurant was mostly empty, we were seated in a spot with harsh direct sunlight—despite many other open tables available. It was an uncomfortable beginning.
We started off fine—the appetizers were good, and the staff was quick to change plates and cutlery. But things went downhill with the main course. We ordered the large portion of green mussels, and they were extremely fishy. Even as someone who tolerates fishiness well, I couldn’t eat them. My friend, who is pregnant, was especially sensitive to the strong smell and couldn’t touch it at all.
When we told the staff, they seemed annoyed and insisted that “green mussels are supposed to be like that.” We disagreed, and they immediately took the dish away, including our plates, folks, and my friend’s knife.
To make matters worse, the service became incredibly inattentive. Our servers were often chatting among themselves or with other guests, ignoring our table for long periods. At one point, after our mussels were taken away, we were left with no plates or cutlery, staring at our cooling duck dish without being able to eat it.
When we finally got our next dish, we had to repeatedly ask for plates and forks. It took multiple requests and long waits just to get basic dining tools.
The duck—which was really delicious when hot—became unpleasantly fishy and unappetizing once it cooled down. My friend couldn’t eat it, so I finished it, but it really wasn’t enjoyable.
It’s a shame because most of the dishes (like the duck and onion soup) were really good, but the inconsistent service, poorly executed seafood, and lack of attention to basic comfort really let us down.
We won’t be returning.

Absolutely loved! Our favorite place out of all of the ones we tried for Houston Restaurant Weeks. The escargot and lobster bisque were wonderful. The steak was cooked very well. The risotto was delicious and hearty. And the pistachio merengue dessert had me scraping the bottom of the bowl!

Wonderful service & atmosphere. The lobster bisque is always a hit and this place has some of the best bread & butter in town. However, the sole I got was really oily and was not seasoned. French food tends to be conservative with spices and it’s hard not to wish my plate had a little more flavor. But overall Étoile has always been a nice dining experience and I’ll definitely be back. ❤️

Very nice restaurant with lovely decor and romantic atmosphere. I loved their Lobster bisque and Bouef Bourguignon was very delicious. My wife enjoyed her Chillian seabass. The only complaint was the service. For such a small restaurant, our server was extremely slow all night and we had to wave him down several times just to get our bill so we could pay and leave.

This was our first visit as a recommendation from a French friend when we asked for his guidance on a good French restaurant. We were not disappointed. Our waiter (“Deedee”, may not be the correct spelling) was excellent – friendly, helpful, attentive. We definitely recommend him. The menu was excellent with classic dishes and we loved all that we ate: sole amandine, cassoulet, roasted duck breast, not to mention the foie gras and bisque starters. We liked the size of the place (not too large), they have a great bar, and we also had some nice wine and sparking to toast with our desserts (we were celebrating a birthday). I really found nothing to complain about. We WILL be back.

Going back in time.
Love this place. We make the trip to the end of the Hwy 45 to simply have dinner at this sparkle ! Very traditional fine dining setting with retro decor. Not a large space , but very well laid out with sufficient room and tables in set for 2 /4/6/8 to sit comfortably on the back wall.
Service is always at your call for bread , tap and plate rotation. Heavy silverware, polished glassware and fine china!
About the food. Well if driving 4 hours for dinner does not tell you something , then you need to go try it out. If you are closer than me , you have no excuses. My only guideline for a French place is a Foix Gras in any form or shape or execution. Pan fried , cold pate, chopped in a pasta dish. But if it is not part of the menu, I can have a sandwich somewhere else.
Dress up , do your manicures and treat yourself to a fine French cuisine. Chef will come out and say hello! Surprisingly for a Frenchman he is a nice garçon!
See you at Etoile.

Had a lovely time at this restaurant located in a cute walkable plaza. Several employees were actually French. Great wine selection for both bottles and BTG. We also enjoyed the food and service. The large beef tartare portion is LARGE indeed.

Here for HRW brunch with a friend. For the first course, we tried the escargot and avocado toast; the escargot leaned a bit salty for my taste, while the avocado toast was on the sour side but overall decent. The standout was definitely the second course—the coq au vin with tender, juicy chicken thigh, and the summer vegetable risotto was nicely balanced with truffle notes and a refreshing touch from the vegetables. Both were seasoned perfectly.
We finished with the pistachio custard (+$4), which ended up being a bit too sweet for us.
Overall, we had a great experience with excellent service.
