    Had brunch with friends. The restaurant has a nice ambiance..soft lighting, exposed brick, wood floors. The service was excellent as was the foid. I had the smoke salmon avocado toast which was delicious. My friends had veggie omelette, crabmeat hash, prosciutto benedict and coco pancakes. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The cocktails were great too. I highly recommend Estella.

    From the moment we entered the door, the hosts were welcoming , prompt with our table, and offered to check our coats for comfort. The seating area to wait for your reservations was comfortable and elegant, the restaurant itself is beautifully designed and the artwork separating the bar from the tables is fabulous. Our server Leni was helpful with choices, he was attentive, and had a great passion for the cuisine and it helped with our experience . What stood out most was the GM, Nick, he greeted us, checked to see how are food was, drinks and chatted with us as we inquired about the restaurant etc. We travel and eat out often and felt the spectacular food married with exceptional service will bring us back. My gnocchi w lobster was beyond delicious and so light. The truffle mac and cheese was a nice blend of flavors with a very generous amount of shaved truffles on top..yum. Dessert: was full, but ordered profiteroles that were different than the typical puffed pastry..highly recommend. Also the mousse was rich and had a salty flare w the sea salt gently sprinkled . We will be back!
