    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!

    Our servers were wonderful as we had a strict time frame (heading to a show at the Boch Center). They made sure that we received our drinks, appetizers and meals promptly - and never felt rushed. The food was yummy. It was a bit on the pricier side - but spending quality time with my Mom made it worth it. For context - 2 clam chowders, 2 lobster rolls, 2 wines, tax and tip - came in at $180. But I would absolutely head back there again.
