This is the second time for us at Estella’s. We loved it so much the first time we brought back the entire family. Our experience was even better the second time around. Food is delicious and the staff is so attentive and sweet! A big shout out to our waiter for the evening, Issman! He was wonderful. Definitely going back again and again!

The three course Valentine’s Day dinner was excellent! Pretty much everything we had was above average, compared to restaurants at a similar price range. The oysters and shrimp cocktail was a strong start. The Chateaubriand steak was particularly phenomenal, and the sides we chose (spicy broccoli and sautéed mushrooms) exceeded expectations. The profiteroles for dessert rounded it out quite nicely! We will be coming back here.
