                                      Estella, nestled in Boston's theater district, offers a vibrant dining experience with "amazing food" and "great drinks." Their Oxtail Rasta pasta and espresso martinis receive rave reviews. While service can be inconsistent, the attentive staff and lively atmosphere make it an excellent spot for pre- or post-show dining. Highly recommended for its "innovative vibe."

                                        Estella is my favorite downtown spot. Between the music the food and the staff it's always fun, I came in with my friend and we got the thai style calamari for an app so good, came out fresh and hot. My main course i got the rasta pasta with oxtail it was to die for, the pasta tasted home made and fresh the oxtail melted in my mouth 10/10. I ordered a mango mami for my cocktail, it was AMAZZINGGGG i recommend coming if you haven't been !

                                        Made a reservation weeks in advance and we were put in the basement ( that’s fine) but in the back corner with no light and right in front of music speaker. It should not have been a table option. Will speak up next time.

                                        Wait staff wasn’t really attentive. Got food and had no cutlery for a while. Got two starts and a salad to split with one drink each and the bill was close to 200 dollars. Didn’t even have a meat or seafood. Not really worth that price. Plus the upstairs they cram you in if you’re in the middle row.

                                        Sunday Brunch. Limited menu. Food (omelettes, scrambled eggs, burger no bun) took 45 minutes, then wasn't particularly tasty. Server did her very best to get the food from the kitchen and was communicative but kitchen let her down. Didn't help that theater goers were also looking to eat quickly at the same time we were. Unlikely to return. (No gluten free options, only green tea and lemon tea packets as options for tea drinker.)

                                        Great brunch menu. Non -standard choices, deliciously combined. A little understaffed and stressed so there were problems today, but I could see it's worth giving them another try.
