This restaurant had great food, service, and ambiance. When we arrived, the first table that they had for us was a bit noisy (being near the front desk and the casino), so the hostess re-seated us deep in the restaurant where we could talk and catch up with family. The waitstaff was friendly and efficient. The food arrived quickly and was delicious.

We had a wonderful meal at Esther's on Wed Dec 18th. We started and ended our evening in the cocktail bar (2nd level) with Jasper as our bartender. He made us speciality drinks, shared drink ideas and really enhanced our experience. Our meal was outstanding. I have food allergies and the Chef accommodate my needs with no issues. The waiter was excellent, efficient and fun. This was our first meal at their new location. We will be back!!
