Bar Etoile shared by @eater says: ""For a bit of the City of Love in LA, tuck into Melrose Hill’s Bar Etoile, a Paris-inflected wine bar and restaurant. Aim to sit in one of the curved banquettes, which automatically ramps up the romance factor for any first date. Start with a glass (or bottle) of wine off the well-curated menu before splitting plates of chef Travis Hayden’s signature Caesar steak tartare, steak frites, or trout rillettes. Bar Etoile gets the ambiance just right for a date that doesn’t feel too casual or formal. Even if the love-at-first-sight factor isn’t there, at least the meal will be memorable."" on Postcard
