    I’m not sure who has been leaving reviews on this restaurant, but it is probably the worst choice I’ve made in the last six months. The food was pretty terrible actually and the ambience was strange. I did appreciate the mix of people who patronized the restaurant, but otherwise I thought it was a bummer.

    Food and service - outstanding! The manager was very present and ensured that guests were happy. This was not a planned visit and we intended to go to Back Deck after seeing the Nutcracker but that seemed to be a disaster and Estella was VERY accommodating. The servers, hosts etc. ALL EXCELLENT!! Looking forward to going here again! Would highly recommend and this was not on our radar at all!

    We waited 10 or more minutes for our table despite a reservation, then waited quite a while for our server to come to our table. When they brought our bottle of wine, they left without uncorking it. When our food came, we had no silverware or napkins. We were finally able to flag down someone else white brought silverware, napkins, and a corkscrew. The mains were mediocre, but we both really enjoyed our desserts. The staff were really nice, just overwhelmed.
