ēst Restaurant offers a must-try truffle burrata and delicious braised beef. The four-course tasting menu is worth it, featuring impressive food, ambiance, and service. Guests appreciate the quiet atmosphere, ideal for a date. The duck confit is noted as one of the best in town, paired with tasty fried Brussels sprouts, potatoes, and bacon. The restaurant is run by younger chefs, and the food is described as absolutely outstanding. Diners have praised dishes like oysters, Caesar salad, steak tartare, and lobster agnolotti, which some have called absolutely brilliant. The truffle grilled cheese remains a popular choice on the menu, and the Almost Famous cocktail has had mixed reviews but is still a hit. The service is friendly and helpful, making the dining experience memorable.
Recent reviews highlight the exceptional food, with the smoked salmon and potato pave cooked to perfection, while the brioche French toast with foie gras was noted for its delightful sweetness. The Summerlicious lunch menu was also praised for its spectacular offerings, and the restaurant accommodated dietary needs very well. Although some guests found the atmosphere pleasant, they mentioned that the booth tables were too close together. Service was generally excellent, with prompt dish delivery, though some diners expressed a desire for more attention to drink choices. Overall, ēst Restaurant is considered a gem of the east end with a commitment to outstanding dining experiences.
