    Estella is my favorite downtown spot. Between the music the food and the staff it's always fun, I came in with my friend and we got the thai style calamari for an app so good, came out fresh and hot. My main course i got the rasta pasta with oxtail it was to die for, the pasta tasted home made and fresh the oxtail melted in my mouth 10/10. I ordered a mango mami for my cocktail, it was AMAZZINGGGG i recommend coming if you haven't been !

    we had a great night dining before a show at the Opera house. Great food and cocktails. The wine list is extension and reasonable. I'd definitely return. They accommodated food sensitivity and requests to split means (since we had too many delicious appetizers)

    A great dining experience. I’ve eaten a lot of Asian foods, but I had never had a hot pot. The service was excellent explaining how everything worked, heat levels, add-ons, etc. just listen to them explain and ask any questions. Side note: If you order appetizers or sushi wait until you finish them to order your hot pot. It came out quickly. It and everything with it took up almost the entire table.
