    Our dining experience was fantastic from beginning to end; we enjoyed every moment. We even had a good laugh over the mix-up with the wagyu, but honestly, it turned out to be the best we've ever had. I can't think of a single dish or dessert we didn't love, and a big shoutout to Jared, the pastry chef, for making my early birthday dinner special. I really hope no 9 sticks around because the food here is the best in the city. Again thank you for amazing evening

    Everything was perfectly good except there’s only two servers working on that day, and it was really busy so the service is pretty slow and really struggled to get server’s attention. However it’s totally understandable, the servers are super nice too! Just if there would be more servers working that night the experience would be better. Overall reasonable price, delicious food and beautiful environment!

    Very good experience - delicious food, somewhat pricey, but the rotisserie chicken, including in the soup, was extraordinary. The soup should be available in a bowl, not just a cup! Energetic vibe, beautiful decor, but there should be additional large tables (not high tops) available for business lunches. Overall the space is relatively small, so table placement is key and there are more "common" high tops than standard tables - great for drinks and casual lunches, but not necessarily business dining.

    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 !
