Service is excellent and food delicious! We saw “Taco Tuesday” on the website and were a little disappointed it's no longer an option. The entrees we did get were interesting and well liked, we shared bits and from fish to lamb to steak, all delicious. The noise level was low for the first half of our meal and then around 8pm got loud... it was fun for sure but was harder for the conversation around our table.

We were attending a show at the Wang and it was in walking distance. We sat upstairs and on a very cold night was perfect. Gio was our server and was very attentive. He suggested an additional change to my salmon tacos that was spot on! Everything flowed smoothly and we had time to spare before the show.

Good restaurant in the heart of the theater district, close to both venues, with a great menu and affordable prices.

A lively and comfortable place with a small but good dinner menu. The rasta pasta was spicy in an agreeable way. The Lisbon burger was quiet good and cooked as requested, though like in most restaurants the bottom bun was soggy (not sure what to do about that). I found the burrata a little dry rather than fresh though the salad and prosciutto made up for it. The smoky old fashioned was excellent. I wish that the zero-alcohol offerings were more interesting- again, a problem in many restaurants. Overall we really enjoyed our time and would be happy to return.

We had a fabulous meal in Estella. We could not fault anything. The staff are exceptional. Food was fabulous. Portions are huge so could share appetisers and sides.

Great restaurant with a tasty menu. Loved the yuca fries and calamari for starters. Main dish, shorty and mash, was great but wouldn't consider it shareable. The short rib had the "tenderism", and great flavor from the golden bbq glaze.

First time at Estella and was amazed I never knew about it. Food was great. Plan on returning in 2 weeks when I'll be in the area again!

Our serve Linah was amazing! She went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful first visit to Estella's! She was attentive and made our diner service smooth. The food was also delicious!

The menu is creative and varied, blending comfort classics with globally inspired dishes. Standouts mentioned frequently by diners include flavorful small plates like bang bang cauliflower and coconut shrimp, hearty entrées such as oxtail Rasta pasta or rosemary grilled lamb chops, and inventive twists on familiar favorites like truffle mac & cheese and blackened salmon tacos. Portions are generous, and appetizers are perfect for sharing.

Love their menu selection and food is spectacular. One of our favorite places when we come to the city for the theatre.

Our food was great: Two of us got burgers and they were cooked perfectly as requested. One friend had the pesto ravioli and one had the salmon tacos. He was surprised they were served in lettuce wraps (was not mentioned on menu as being served that way) but said they were great. Our server was nice enough but when she came to give us our bill, she asked if we wanted two separate checks and we said sure. To which she said, “I'll just split it down the middle” which was odd. Why offer to give us two separate checks? Our table was in the lower level, which felt like the basement of a fraternity that was trying to be “fancier” for a party. Lots of serious-looking (I.e. not smiling) servers standing about and weird lighting. Hostess was unfriendly upon entering and didn't say goodbye (nor did the other two employees at the hostess stand) as we left. Will probably try another pre-show dinner option next time.

Great experience my first time here for our friends birthday dinner. As a vegetarian the options are amazing and I cannot wait to try more. I had the mediterranean vegan mushroom ravioli as well as the cauliflower. Both were delicious! ✌️
