    We loved everything. Seared striploin to start was wonderful. As well as the Hiramasa Crudo. Their bread was crazy good with three accompaniments. Butchers steak was amazing. Aged bone in NY strip tasted like heaven. Highly recommend their carrots side. And our espresso martinis were some of the best we've ever had! Only complaint would be it was very warm in there but other than that we will def be coming back.

    I don’t usually give reviews only if it’s really bad as in to warn people or when it’s really good. Well Este was amazing. Just felt welcomed. Our server was very knowledgeable, personable and confident. Had the sombra margarita and I can say it was the best margarita I have ever had. Smoky, not too sweet, perfect balance of flavors: a pleasure to drink. (Also am not a drinker but I love a good drink to sip over dinner) We had the Este ceviche. Amazing. Other two dishes. All were very well balanced, light, light in salt which was refreshing for a restaurant in Texas. My stomach and soul felt light and happy! Great experience.

    Had to wait for 20 minutes to be sat when we had a reservation. Understandable but when a place is supposedly upscale, it’s a bit frustrating. Overall good experience, the market selection is where you should spend your money.
