"Dine like a Parisian at Bar Etoile, a new French restaurant in Melrose Hill. The restaurant comes from a team of first-time restaurateurs: Jill Bernheimer (Domaine LA), Julian Kurland (Native, the Rose), and chef Travis Hayden (Rustic Canyon, Voodoo Vin). Bar Etoile serves a bar menu comprised of small bites like bread and butter and spiced nuts made to pair with a glass of wine or a cocktail, as well as a full menu of larger dishes. Hayden’s dinner menu follows a clear European-inspired throughline with dishes like steak frites, roast chicken, and ricotta gnocchi. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Eater Staff
