Super delicious, beautiful banquette in the wall, excellent drinks. Recipes you won’t find anywhere else—just a fantastic experience.

Estella was wonderful. My wife and I are foodies and in Boston for a conference. We were looking for something unique and comfortable. Estella offered a twist on traditional flavors that was wonderful. We started with drinks. The seasonal blueberry harvest was a delicious gin cocktail that was a perfect balance of sweet sweet and herbaceous deliciousness of gin. My better half had a Nearest to Me which was a delicious whisky shaken with lemon and ginger ale. We ordered the Parm garlic yucca fries with their delicious aioli…and I could’ve eaten another plate. For our meals I had the blackened salmon tacos. The flavors were delicious. The salmon was cooked well and the banana peppers and aioli balanced each other while the crispy onions added a welcome crunch to the lettuce wrapped tacos. My wife had the Shorty and Mash. My god was that a delish bite. The short rib was fall off the bone tender on top of delicious buttery mash. The sauce was a mustard and vinegar base and was unexpectedly delicious cutting through the richness of the beef. The toffee cake was a shared dessert to end the night. Service was attentive and friendly from both our server and management. It was loud but not off-putting and its always great when you leave a restaurant happy with what you had but eager to experience other flavors on the menu.

Wonderful meal. Each dish was outstanding. Loved sharing all the good.

Atmosphere was great, food was great, and server (Isabella) was the best. Very knowledgeable about the menu and the four of us ordered four of her five recommendations. We were all very happy with the quality and portion size of the entrees and the service was excellent.

First time visiting with a friend. I realized rather quickly that this used to be an old club called Storyville. The setup was exactly the same. Music was super loud for 8pm. Server was sweet and offered drink recommendations for our tastes. We changed tables due to a large crowd of folks celebrating a birthday dinner a little too closely. The waitress and hostess were quick and responsive to our request. The food wasn’t impressive but I assume most folks don’t go for the food. Small shareable plates that honestly weren’t very memorable. The vibe is literally the only reason most folks indulge in this place. It’s a good time, with good music, and good drinks. I’d definitely go back but just to have a couple drinks and enjoy the DJ. Thirty something’s… prepare yourselves.
