    Delicious meal- Thanksgiving Dinner- yummy. mom ordered off the menu- seafood arrabiatta. She loved it. Service was wonderful. Arnie our server was so sweet and attentive but not overly so. we were greeted at the door so nicely- felt they were happy we came in and they said goodbye and thanked us- even though they were very busy the cappuccino was actually hot! so many places can't seem to serve HOT cappuccino! it was very busy but we did not feel rushed. love the ambiance- sexy, sophisticated vibe but not stuffy. A bit loud but not as bad as some places I've been. Thank you for a great Thanksgiving! we'll be back! my birthday's coming up.

    Estella was wonderful. My wife and I are foodies and in Boston for a conference. We were looking for something unique and comfortable. Estella offered a twist on traditional flavors that was wonderful. We started with drinks. The seasonal blueberry harvest was a delicious gin cocktail that was a perfect balance of sweet sweet and herbaceous deliciousness of gin. My better half had a Nearest to Me which was a delicious whisky shaken with lemon and ginger ale. We ordered the Parm garlic yucca fries with their delicious aioli…and I could’ve eaten another plate. For our meals I had the blackened salmon tacos. The flavors were delicious. The salmon was cooked well and the banana peppers and aioli balanced each other while the crispy onions added a welcome crunch to the lettuce wrapped tacos. My wife had the Shorty and Mash. My god was that a delish bite. The short rib was fall off the bone tender on top of delicious buttery mash. The sauce was a mustard and vinegar base and was unexpectedly delicious cutting through the richness of the beef. The toffee cake was a shared dessert to end the night. Service was attentive and friendly from both our server and management. It was loud but not off-putting and its always great when you leave a restaurant happy with what you had but eager to experience other flavors on the menu.
