Overall service and food were really good, minus a few mishaps. The place was pretty dead and we had issues with some glasses being dirty when they came out. Not sure how long brunch has been a thing here but some things didn't seem very well thought out like no butter or jam available for toast, and while a full coffee bar isn't needed with the amount of coffee shops in the area, it would be good to invest in serving some good drip coffee at the very least.

Meatballs what you could make at home. Way too expensive for the lack of flavor/effort. Took 8 minutes to be approached at an empty bar with 3 people behind it. Messy/confused process and direction for where to go in eating before a show. I had to walk my drinks upstairs and wait for them to turn the heat on. Feeling like a should have killed time at Estelle's.

Probably a better music venue than a restaurant. I would not recommend it for dinner. Servers are lovely, but the food is not great and the atmosphere is not appealing. Ah well.

Came to take photos of a friend for an event y'all did on the rooftop. Loved the whole vibe! Food and drinks were on point too.

The hostess, wait staff, and bar tenders were all super nice. Both our dinner's were delicious and the mixed drinks were perfect. I would definitely check this place out.

Terrible venue. I fell within moments of being at the venue for a ABBA event. The floor was wet and there were no signs present to show that. I hurt my elbow and they never even checked on me. When the event ended they tried to kick us out because the staff wanted to leave even though we were sitting patiently and waiting for our uber. My elbow is going to be terribly bruised and they could care less. The event is not worth the $28 it cost to go. Also, after we left we found out that the bartenders had already given themselves a 20% gratuity on our friends tab without disclosing this information to us. We were not sitting at a table of more than 4 people and we were not told that any drinks bought at the bar would include a 20% gratuity. This is super gross! I definitely am not recommendeding this venue to anyone. Stay far away!
The food was wonderful! Cooked perfectly to our order and the venue was very cozy. It is very quaint but even as it filled up, it was still comfortable.

Absolutely great and safe experience. Abel & Joshua (security) were phenomenal and beyond kind. They really allowed for the crowd to have let loose and feel safe at the same time. Thank you guys & thank you ChopShop all around.

The service for the restaurant was friendly but slow and wouldn't stop by our table much, so we ended up not ordering more than an appetizer despite plans to have dinner. This made it difficult to get food before the concert, even though the venue encouraged us to. Not all of us were going to the show, and were just there to have dinner.
The venue was great and every staff member I encountered was great. However, they have got to do the meet-and-greets somewhere other than the merch line. So awkward when the singer goes down the line interacting with those who paid for it, while actually pretending not to see the others who are also standing there. I don't expect something I didn't pay for, but it cast an unfortunate feeling over the end of the night. I wouldn't have ended up in that position if I hadn't wanted to shop for merch.
The reason I didn't pay for a m&g was to avoid its weirdness, so it should be held behind the flow of foot traffic or something where you won't be walked into it. I've also been to shows where the performers came down to say hi to people buying merch or to help sell things, so I was also confused as to what was happening. There needs to be a clearer boundary for something like that.

Great venue for music and dancing! Loved having mocktail options. Wish the kitchen stayed open until 10:00 pm.

I'm not sure if there's a new chef or change in management but this used to be our go-to neighborhood restaurant, and we've gone there a few times in the last couple months to keep giving it a chance since we would have given it a 5 out of 5 for everything in the past. However, I think we've come to the conclusion that some of our favorite dishes just won't be the same, like the fried sea bass/branzino. But we will return (but probably not as often) for some of the other dishes like sauteed pea tendrils and drunken noodles. Also, because the tables are small they try to make sure there's enough space for all the dishes and plates, which means you are basically eating off of a plate the size of a cup saucer, which is inconvenient. It's always been that way, and when the restaurant was popular and served 5 start food, it didn't seem to bother me, but somehow now it does--maybe because I at least want the experience of eating there to feel more welcoming? Bottom line--I will keep going back but probably just because it's in my neighborhood, it's convenient and there are enough dishes that are done well that I can have a decent meal there.
