    Asparagus with poached egg
    Tanya B.

    Phenomenal dinner and customer service. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and from there, the exceptional and intuitive service continued. The food arrived at a nice pace and it seemed like our waiter (I believe his name was Gabe) could just read our minds and was always a step ahead. The team servicing us in general was great, from checking in on our food and filling up water and offering to box up the appetizers that we enjoyed (and wanted to set aside to save room for our main courses). The food itself was exciting - great flavors / spices and perfect texture. The grilled chicken piri piri was my husband's favorite, cooked tenderly with a yummy kick to it (I like that they give people a heads up on the spice, we love spice but people who don't enjoy mild to medium spice might find it too spicy). The rigatoni was my favorite and a dish I will crave regularly, with its amazing sausage and sauce. The game-changing touch tonight was when they brought us their complimentary churro dessert bites and said they made mine without cinnamon sugar. Before you judge, I have an uncommon and annoying cinnamon sensitivity, and many restaurants understandably cannot accommodate that restriction. It was such a non-issue and I loved the special churro bite to wrap up the meal. A tad on the pricier side (the rigatoni was $30 which surprised me a little) but worth the service and tasty food. I've already texted my friends rave reviews about Estelle and will be back to try the burger and honey cake I saw on the menu. Thanks for the great date night!

    Where do I even start? Estelle is, without question, my absolute favorite restaurant in Minnesota. Going here always feels like a true treat, and I genuinely cannot recommend it enough. The photos included in this review are from my most recent visit, which also happened to be my milestone birthday, an experience made even more special by everything Estelle does so exceptionally well. As incredible as the food is, the staff somehow manages to be even better. They are truly outstanding. Every single person is knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. After countless visits, I've never once been disappointed by the service. They know the menu inside and out, handle my food allergies with complete ease, and are always polite, accommodating, and warm. When I recently brought my family to Estelle, the first thing they raved about afterward was the service. Now, the food. I genuinely dream about the patatas bravas. I hope they never leave the menu because they are the most perfect appetizer. Crispy fried potatoes topped with a smoky, spicy red sauce and aioli, absolute perfection. If you go to Estelle, PLEASE order them. You will not be disappointed. My favorite entrée is the Piri Piri chicken, a dish I think about nearly every day of my life. The spice is perfectly balanced and keeps you coming back for more. It's incredibly flavorful, unique, beautifully plated, and simply divine. Other standout favorites among people I've dined with include the Pica Pau, the Rigatoni, and the pesto (proof that there's truly something for everyone here). Estelle has something truly special going on. The space is small but mighty, also very romantic for a date or celebration dinner. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or just looking for an exceptional dinner, this is the place. I couldn't recommend it more.

    I've been wanting to try Estelle for a while now & it did not disappoint! They have a stunning patio, delicious food, and we had the sweetest, most attentive server! The cheese-stuffed, bacon-wrapped dates melted in your mouth. The cocktail was flavorful, dimensional- would get again. And there were no leftovers! Our server brought complimentary birthday churros for my mother in law, and they were delicioussss. This is a great place for birthdays and anniversaries - it calm, airy and classy, but not formal unless you want it to be! - street parking - kids menu - recommend a reservation for the weekends!

    Radiatore
    Tiana D.

    Amazing!! Came to Estelle for a birthday and was not disappointed. Excellent food, creative cocktails, and attentive service. Made a reservation online a few days in advance and had the option for dining room, patio, or chef's counter. Street parking can be tricky. The dining room was a little hot due to the open kitchen, so sit in the bar if you want it a little cooler. I ordered the Straight Cash, Homie mezcal cocktail and loved it. A perfect bright drink for summer, but still with some depth. The heirloom tomato salad and radiatore with jalapeño pesto were my favorite foods. Both had such fresh flavors. We were too full for dessert, but our server brought us some cava and mini churros for the birthday - so kind. I can't wait to come back and try other things in the menu!

    Patatas bravas
    Chris C.

    Wow! Just wow! One of the best meals we have ever had. We went to dinner at Estelle to celebrate our anniversary. They offered complimentary toast to celebrate our anniversary. So nice! We had already looked at their menu and had a plan for what we would like to order. We started with the Falafel.  The Falafel was excellent! Better than some falafel we have had at Lebanese restaurants. Then came our Patatas Bravas. Such a simple dish, but oh so tasty. Crispy potatoes with a slightly spicy sauce cooler with streaks of creamy mayo. Then came the Rissoles. The first time we had confit chicken was at a restaurant in Atlanta. It was a memorable experience. So was this dish. Crispy on the outside. Inside the chicken is meltingly tender. A little spice from the poblano and notes of cilantro help cut the richness of that confit chicken. We then tried the Bucalao. You get the texture of the fish without a fish taste. The habanero tartar sauce is the perfect compliment and is not nearly as hot as it sounds. We were already pretty full at this point however we needed to try one of their staple dishes. The Radiatore. Oh my goodness! First of all, nothing like fresh pasta. The jalapeno pesto again is not as spicy as you might think, yet provides a little heat that cuts the richness of the pesto. The smoked almonds provide a beautiful crunch contrast to the creamy pasta. Outstanding dish! Since it was our anniversary, we decided to get two desserts. Well actually three as the first item to hit the table was their complimentary Churros. I love, love churros! These churros were unlike any churro that I have ever had. They were light and crispy. Not doughy at all. Easily addictable. Then came their Creme Fraiche Cheesecake. This made me forget that I had wanted to try their no longer available Star Bar. This cheesecake was so good. The roasted strawberries were amazing. The cheesecake was light and creamy with a crunchy biscuit crust.  We took a piece of their honey cake home with us. Their honey cake was rich and creamy. The cake came with some hazelnut praline and honeycomb toffee which provided a nice crunch to accompany the creamy cake. Outstanding meal! Outstanding service! Two other servers stopped by our table to say congratulations. They also did a wonderful job of staggering our dishes so they came out as we were finishing the current dish. We sat on their comfortable covered patio. We are already planning our return trip. This is a special place!

    Patatas Bravas
    Linda Y.

    This is such a fantastic spot in the area. The service was incredible and the space itself is nice! We started off with drinks - I got the Scrump Diddley and it was very good and enjoyable. My sister got the Lady Brett Ashley that was non-alc and it was so good! For the tapas, we went with the Patatas Bravas and the Shrimp Al Ajillo. The Patatas Bravas was a huge portion and I thoroughly enjoyed these. They were crispy and paired so well with the tomato sauce. The Shrimp Al Ajillo was also very refreshing. For the mains, we went with the Radiatore pasta and the Pan Seared Rainbow Trout. The Radiatore pasta was delicious and I highly recommend this one! The sauce was a nice jalapeno pesto and it coated so well on the radiatore pasta. The Pan Seared Rainbow Trout wasn't bad but wasn't my favorite. It was pretty basic with a light gastrique sauce. There were a lot of bones in the fillet that we got. We ended the meal with the Creme Fraiche Cheesecake and since it was my sister's birthday, they also added a cute little candle to the side! We really appreciated this. The kitchen also shared some chocolate churros with us. This is definitely a great spot to celebrate or for a nice dinner. They have limited parking spots on the east side of their building.

    Cheeseburger
    Yasiri N.

    1000000% my favorite restaurant of all restaurants. Food is spectacular, drinks are incredible, service is the best of the best. The vibe is upscale, but family friends and you are allowed to have fun. Give it a try if you haven't done so yet!

    Rigatoni
    Alonzo A.

    Absolutely phenomenal restaurant to visit. Sat at the Chef's table and couldn't be happier watching the Chef's cook and the expo making sure everything runs smoothly. Service was perfect. Menu was explained well and my server was super nice. Food was the absolute star of the night. Bacalo was a great way to start and the rigatoni was one of the best pasta dishes I've had in awhile. And I just came back from Italy 4 weeks ago!! Super saucy, great portion size and the cook of the pasta was perfect. Ended the night with the honey cake and some complimentary churros. Both were perfect and shout out to the pastry chef on the honey cake. Sweet, crunchy and creamy all in one bite. Estelle is a must visit. I'll be back for that phenomenal looking cheeseburger.

    Chicken liver with olive tapenade. And the FLUFFIEST bread
    Elly P.

    Finally made it here. Always passed by it. Now we are here. Walk in ok. The service is great. Ambiance is chill with enough excitement coming thru the open kitchen Food are amazing. Must order: *chicken liver with olive tapenade. Because it comes with the fluffiest bread that is just out of this world. Kudos to pastry chef that baked this "out of this world" bread *Honey cake is very light not too sweet. With some crunchy honeycomb just perfect ends to meal. This pastry chef I heard her name is "NoK" should win an award. She'll definitely gets from me

    We had a lovely dinner here! Food and drinks were delicious and service was superb! Loved the patio area outside. If you're in the market for some more upscale dinning, I highly recommend!

    Churros
    Tracey F.

    Stopped in recently for a birthday dinner. Got a reservation for the "chef's counter", which is basically a bar top overlooking the kitchen. As someone who loves to cook and usually looks at all the food coming out of the kitchen to see what others order, this was heaven for me. Had the patatas bravas for an appetizer. I could have had a second of those for sure. The sauce was delicious. Ordered the pesto radiatore and the calabrian Chile rigatoni for our meals. Both were out of this world tasty. Also tried the honey cake for dessert and they offer small churros to everyone post-dinner. I can't wait to go back and sit at the chef's counter again!

    Niela L.

    Pica pau tapa was absolutely delicious!! The wine the server recommended was a great match to our pasta. We'd highly recommended the Rigatoni! Ambience was great out in the patio and service was phenomenal! Enjoyed our time here, things were just a little pricey-- but it was expected!

    House made Churros
    Calvin N.

    Visited Estelle with a group of friends and we ordered several dishes and shared them family style. The service was excellent everything arrived as ordered and in a very timely fashion. I had a margarita that was perfect! We also shared the Potato Bravas, Rigatoni , and a few other dishes all were very good the consensus at the table was the rigatoni took the overall best spot. But was not an easy decision. For dessert we had the Butter Cale and Churros both very good. Great meal great service and a good time had by all !

    Quaint eatery but a victim of its own popularity, which makes it a prime candidate to relocate from its tight environs.

They easily substituted other wines so she could enjoy good & wine pairing! Beautiful evening w/ delicious food & exquisite wines perfectly paired to each course.

For this meal, we were all especially pleased to see persimmon gracing the menu. This lovely winter fruit added bright color, texture, and flavor to the dishes that it was incorporated into (I highly recommend them). I had it in the second course, a lovely salad that also contained endive, pear, radish, pine nuts and a wonderful layer of creamy taleggio. It was unique and very delicious. For my third course, I ordered the masa dumplings, which I have had before. Spoiler: they were just as good this time. With a pleasing firm but tender texture, these wonderful little dumplings hit just right. The Calabrian chili in the sauce adds a pleasant rosy color and a bit of warmth without being spicy (it's totally safe for your most Minnesotan dining companions). As always, it was beautifully plated. For my next course, I ordered the toasted farro, which is delicious, hearty, and comforting. The chewy grains combine beautifully with the umami from the cheese and porcinis to make a wonderfully substantial flavor and feel. Underneath it all, a bright basil pistou adds a pop of color to remind you that even though it's winter, spring is just around the corner. This is just a perfect dish for a cold, dark winter night. For dessert, I tried something new: the cream cheese tart. I chose wisely: this was a lovely winter dessert that was somewhat reminiscent of cheesecake (but definitely better). It was just the right amount of richness and perfectly balanced by a delicious pear compote and a layer of balsamic vinaigrette. Absolutely perfect. As always, I appreciated the awesome selection of N/A beverages. (The paNOma? Still my favorite!)

What a vibey place, the lights aren't too bright, it gives a hip, fun, light energy and is not too pretentious but has INCREDIBLE FOOD AND DRINKS. Right now, one of their specials is whitefish toast.. if you enjoy fish at all, you need this. The fish is light and fresh, they put fresh dill on top and it is placed on top of some toasted sourdough bread perfectly. The fish is flavorful, a lil earthy and I feel as if there are capers or olives in in the fish mixture, whatever it is is fire! The burrata, beets, and citrus is a nice lovely, fresh, light app, the burrata is perfection with the beets and fresh, juicy citrus, drizzled with some oil and random pieces of garlic mixed in, YUM.

The housemade ranch is a perfect dipper. The other day I tried the chorizo and scallops... oh my goodness gracious.. it was a lil spicy and creamy with the bean puree and the scallops were buttery, light and divine! 10 outta 10 would do again. Finally, got the goat cheesecake, gluten free ginger snap crust with poached pears. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I want this now and in every lifetime! The cheesecake was light, yet decadent, deep, creamy with a light, unassuming flavor. The crust was delicious and the poached pears added that perfect fruit component. I got Liam as my server both times, he was helpful, attentive, had good suggestions when asked questions and didn't interrupt at all, amazing! This is the spot for any occasion!

I didn't think the signature drinks were overly unique, with classics like Paper Plane making that menu side. I had a pomegranate mojito which was good! Consensus was that the cocktails were good not exceptional, especially for the $16-17 price point. We ordered churros for the table which were a table favorite! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, but we enjoyed our time and could see this being a good option if you lived in the neighborhood and don't mind the early close hours.
