Instead, after owning the service station for 7 1/2 years and as Jim puts it, “spending too much time at Namio’s,” a Madison restaurant formerly located on Park Street, he decided that the restaurant business looked appealing.

Sustainability and top-flight dining are still at the top of its list of priorities, but L’Etoile now brings those goals together with a fresh perspective and redoubled efforts at community outreach.
