    A nice table away from most of the noise. The food was superb…beef, fish, salads and carrots. Libations were great, too. Our waitperson, Savannah, was great! We had a wonderful evening.

    Food was good, pretty expensive for the portion sizes. Service was good and attentive. Enjoyed the atmosphere and esthetic. Definitely think there are better places as far as food goes when it comes to portion size vs price and quality.

    Enjoyed our dinner. Wish the menu offered more selection. Consider Coq au Vin, Boef Borgonone and fresh fois gras. Thanks

    Went for the specialty wine pairing dinner and what a great selection of a curated 4 course meal. The dessert however was a little odd. Tasted a bit burnt and not caramelized like it was meant to be. Still a great overall experience but for the price point of $300(with tip) I’ve been to better wine dinners. We will be back to Estelle but perhaps not for a curated dinner.

    Loved our dinner at Estelle. Made a last minute reservation so had to sit at the bar, but it was still lovely and delicious.

    The food and service were fantastic. It was everything we could do to not lick the plates. We will be going back regularly.
