"Chef Travis Hayden's menu may be streamlined but there's something for everyone in this comfortable spot. Appetizers like snap peas served over a bed of lightly smoked ricotta and dressed with nettle gremolata and pickled coriander are proof that this spot looks to the market for its influences. Perfectly moist striped bass with a crispy skin and topped with salsa macha over caramelized sunchoke is a hit, as is the chocolate tart with passion fruit chantilly," Michelin wrote.
Bar Etoile is located at 632 N. Western Ave., near Melrose Avenue.
