Six minutes from Locust Valley.
From Locust Valley, L’Étoile is a six-minute drive south on Pine Hollow Road. Classic French cooking, a serious wine list, candlelit service: closer than Manhattan, and more interesting than the local steakhouse.
The village next door, done in French.
Closer than the city, dressier than the bistro
A real French dinner six minutes from home: escargots, sole meunière, a Bourgogne by the glass. No need to drive an hour into Manhattan for it.
After Friends Academy or Piping Rock
Match days, parents’ nights, the dinners you do not want to rush. We open at five, and at four on Sunday, so an early table is always there.
Wine worth a call ahead
The list runs around two hundred bottles, French-led. If you have a particular Burgundy or Champagne in mind, call ahead and we will see what the cellar can do for the night.
Anniversaries, birthdays, milestones
Tell us when you book. We will set the table for the occasion, light the candle, and let the kitchen know there is something to mark.
