Expensive but food is amazing!! I went to dinner as a family of 7 and the bill came to around 460$. The stuffed peppers and one pot mushroom was a hit! They have LOTS of vegetarian options so that was so nice to see! And if you're here to celebrate a special occasion, make sure to let the waiter know! You'll get free dessert with a candle ???????????? Lots of free parking at University St!
We had a satisfying meal at Ettan, pleasantly surprised by how grounded the place felt despite all the hype. Food was elevated but still tasted like what you may cook at home. Prices are high but still lower than many similar restaurants. Service was the highlight, we were among the last patrons to leave and there were some tireless servers who remained energetic until then. If there is one area where we could give feedback for improvement, that would be the presentation of the dishes. You come to places like Ettan expecting some out of the world plating, which was not the case. A pretty home-like experience overall.
The sesame leaf small plate is one of the most wonderful things I've experienced in a long time! The flavors and textures are so incredible. It's hard to explain. A definite must-try. Also get the octopus and the butter chicken, yum!
