Best Seasonal Restaurants in Downtown Crossing

This is the second time for us at Estella’s. We loved it so much the first time we brought back the entire family. Our experience was even better the second time around. Food is delicious and the staff is so attentive and sweet! A big shout out to our waiter for the evening, Issman! He was wonderful. Definitely going back again and again!

The staff and the food were amazing. Its just very dark in the restaurant. Maybe I am just getting old, lol. Hard to see menu. My wife pulled out her cell to see better and the waiter dropped a little night light on our table. It was funny and fantastic at the same time.

The three course Valentine’s Day dinner was excellent! Pretty much everything we had was above average, compared to restaurants at a similar price range. The oysters and shrimp cocktail was a strong start. The Chateaubriand steak was particularly phenomenal, and the sides we chose (spicy broccoli and sautéed mushrooms) exceeded expectations. The profiteroles for dessert rounded it out quite nicely! We will be coming back here.

This was our fourth visit to the Vermilion Club, I believe, and it has recently become a favorite restaurant of ours. The location is unusual, on the second floor of a large office building in the financial district. Above the large island bar is a gorgeous Chihuly glass sculpture, and the vibe of the place is urban cool yet warm and inviting. The food is excellent…on this visit we had the prime rib and filet mignon, which were tender and flavorful, and the appetizers beforehand were superb as well. The service is always excellent here, professional and efficient without being stuffy. Our server on this visit, Nimi, was exemplary…always there when needed, but not intrusive. She also guided us to a couple menu choices that were perfect. We will definitely be back again, and look forward to seeing the Vermilion Club flourish!

This was an absolute gem of a place! We ate here for a Galentines lunch and it was above and beyond. Beautiful environment, delicious food and superb service.
