Restaurants near Village Books

Carnal has always had great food and drinks. In the past we were not regulars because the menu rarely changed and it was very red-meat heavy. Last night was a much better and more diverse menu along with so many great-sounding sides it was difficult to decide! Drinks, wine list, etc. were as good or better (especially the wine list) than I remembered. We will be more frequent visitors!

Wonderful dinner tonight! The steak and lobster was delicious as was the halibut. Finished off with delicious burnt cream and a chocolate mousse . Service was excellent as always.

Estelle’s is simply great. The food is creative and never fails to impress. The cocktails are simply brilliant. The staff at Estelle’s are friendly, knowledgeable and work as a great team. The size, informality and sense of casual elegance is very appealing. Estelle’s has become our favorite restaurant to take friends to who visit us from out of town and is always a wonderful treat for us too. Nadine, who has been our server the last few times we’ve been there, is outstanding. She a charming and gracious woman who truly enhances the experience of dining. Not to mention her depth of knowledge and experience. Gray, at the bar, is an performer as well as a talented mixologist. The menu at Estelle’s is small, but each dish is so well done and distinctive it is very hard to have a favorite! A new-to-us dish that wowed us on our most recent visit was the ‘chicken liver mousse coastal huckleberry & chive with sunflower sourdough’ omg! We’ll be back soon again and highly recommend it.

we had an excellent waitress!! great on our timing needs too!

An excellent first time experience! Will definitely return.
