The restaurant was clean and organised. Food and drinks: This is farm to table type of restaurant that serves locally grown produce which is always great to see. The food is made in house and from scratch. Food selections were good, especially the steak portion. I ordered 14oz steak with purple potatoes, mushrooms and green beans. I ordered medium rare steak that was cooked perfectly. It was tender and well seasoned. The wagyu burger was well prepared and tasted great too. We ordered margaritas and both were made exceptionally well. Highly recommended. Pricing: $$/$ - well worth the service and overall quality.

There were 6 of us dining together and one person ordered the Ponzu Ribs-he said they were very good.

I ordered Stuffed Trout and enjoyed every aspect of the dish. The trout was fresh, firm and cooked perfectly. The sauce was a compliment to the flavors of the fish, as well as the rest of my plate. We will definitely be returning!

As expected, being a sports bar, TVs abound, and the sight lines are excellent. We four rolled in on a lazy Sunday afternoon, and they were not busy. According to our server, they were extremely busy during the World Cup. They have a full liquor license and all of your Favs are available, including a few good bourbons. There are many craft beer taps as well as your standard brews. We did get a chuckle as they have Celis beer listed as non-local, what! They also offer specialty cocktails, including some interesting tequila and vodka concoctions. We ordered their fried pickles, and they were good. The order was a bit small to share, but that's a minor point. We will definitely be back to explore their menu and catch a game.

I started with two Aperol spritzes (no regrets, they were perfectly balanced and refreshing). We shared a potato appetizer that was crispy, flavorful, and the kind of dish you keep going back for "just one more bite." I ordered the smash burger, and it was truly one of the best I've had- perfectly crisp edges, juicy center, and just the right balance of toppings. My husband had the shrimp tacos, which were fresh, flavorful, and genuinely delicious. Beyond the food, the vibe is what makes this place special. It has that small-town, quaint charm, but the interior is absolutely beautiful, thoughtfully designed without feeling fussy. It feels elevated but still comfortable. The waitstaff and bartender were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. It's exactly the kind of spot our town needed, perfect for a cozy date night, catching up with girlfriends, or just an excuse to put on something cute and get out of the house. We'll definitely be back.

Truth be told, I'm just a simple Texas boy, so a place like Estância feels a little fancier than…read morewhat I'm used to. But every now and then, it's worth trading barbecue paper for white tablecloths. If there's a special occasion to celebrate, this Brazilian churrascaria in Leander makes a mighty good case for treating yourself. The experience starts with an impressive salad bar and a separate spread of hot sides, but that's just the opening act. Once you flip your card to green, the parade begins. Gauchos make their way from table to table with skewer after skewer of wood-fire-roasted meats, carving tender slices of ribeye, picanha, filet mignon, sirloin, pork ribs, lamb, chicken, and sausage right onto your plate. And as if that weren't enough, every table is served buttery mashed potatoes, sweet fried plantains and delicious bread or muffins? The best part? You don't have to settle on just one cut; you can sample as much or as little as you'd like. The restaurant itself is spacious, with several dining rooms, a full bar, and a comfortable outdoor patio. Even on Father's Day, when the place was packed, the wait moved along surprisingly well, and the staff never seemed rushed. While the price is certainly more of a splurge than an everyday meal, it's easy to appreciate the value when you consider the endless selection of expertly grilled meats and the unlimited sides that come with them. From what I understand, Estância is locally owned rather than another big corporate steakhouse, and that makes me appreciate it even more. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a birthday, Father's Day, or simply gathering with family, it's the kind of place that reminds you some meals are about more than just filling your stomach; they're about slowing down and enjoying good food with good company.

If I could give this restaurant zero stars, I would. This was hands down one of the worst dining…read moreexperiences I've ever had. We made a reservation well in advance for a party of 20. When we arrived, we were told that other guests were already sitting at our reserved tables. Instead of honoring our reservation, they squeezed our entire group into a much smaller area where everyone was cramped and uncomfortable. Our server was kind and did the best they could, but the kitchen and overall management were a disaster. Dinner took over 2 1/2 hours, and food came out one or two plates at a time over the entire evening--even though we all ordered at the same time. Some people had finished eating before others had even received their meals. I ordered the nachos, and they didn't arrive until 2 1/2 hours after we sat down. Waiting that long for nachos is simply unacceptable. We were repeatedly told the kitchen was backed up because they were busy and because items like the chips were "homemade." They absolutely were not--they tasted like standard bagged tortilla chips from the grocery store. To make matters worse, the food itself was mediocre and not worth the wait (the one standout was the fried okra). Between the mishandled reservation, the excessive wait times, and the disappointing food, the entire experience was incredibly frustrating. I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Date night spot! My…read morewife and I visited for our 27th anniversary. Soft lighting, but it's not dark, which I appreciate. Brick accents inside with beautiful chandeliers - this place is elegant. Service is attentive and quick. We found the list of cocktails unique and refreshing, not to mention tasty. The wine list looked above average (maybe not "extensive"), but I'm not a qualified expert in the area by any means. The food! We started with the Beef Tartare which was excellent, the toasted bread was good enough to stand alone. We each had a salad that we enjoyed. I had the Salade Lyonnaise, fresh tasting and a perfectly executed poached egg on top. We enjoyed our selections. I ordered the Snake River Farms American Wagyu NY Strip. Honestly, I was expecting more from this cut, it was a bit chewy and I had to leave a good chunk of it on my plate as scraps. To be fair though, it was just listed as MP on the menu and I thought I was going to have some buyers remorse, especially given I was underwhelmed - but I felt it was fairly priced and it was well prepared - just not the quality of cut I was expecting. My wife had the filet and it was excellent, this is likely my order next time. Especially given Sovian offers several different accompanying steak sauces as complimentary add-ons. This is a nice touch! We shared an order of shaved brussel sprouts as a side. Interestingly this is actually one of their appetizers. We didn't find anything in the "sides" that really piqued our interest, but the brussels were amazing. We had ordered the Pommes Frites (truffle fries), also on the appetizer menu - good flavor but I thought the fries could have been a bit crispier which would have made them better. We finished with a basque cheesecake - my wife is gluten free and this comes without a crust. This might have been the highlight of the food - we've not had a basque style cheesecake before though so maybe it is just new/unique to us, but we really enjoyed this. A bit more dense than a traditional cheesecake but not overly rich, I really liked it. I would highly recommend this as a romantic dinner night, but I also felt that the price was very fair given the quality of food and service. We will be back for more casual visits for sure. It's a nice setting, dress up a little as most customers will be dressed business casual and up.

Although great, we wished we hadn't ordered them so that we could save room to finish our entrée. Before getting into the entrees we had cocktails of LA Grande Pêche and V's Dirty Martini. Both were done nicely so we ended up with another round even though they were out of Titos. Between appetizer and main course we were brought 2 types of Amuse LA Bouche. They were a great accessory to have before dinner and both tasted good. For our mains we had the Colorado lambchops with cous cous salad and a prime ribeye. I also added an order of lobster Mac n cheese. It was creamy and nicely seasoned. We finished the night off with a Basque cheesecake. Ambiance was dimly lit with soft music in the background. At some point it changed from what may have been european instrumentals into contemporary jazz. It was a nice touch. Well done Sovian. Will definitely put it on the list of places to return to.

When I walked in I was greeted and seated immediately by the super friendly hostess. He even shared with me some of the crowd favorite selections from the happy hour menu. The restaurant has such a clean aesthetic and the ambience is bright but intimate still. We sat in a booth along the front windows. There's plenty of seating in the front, around the bar and on the side. We started with the happy hour brussel sprouts and tater tots. The brussel sprouts were super delicious and the elote tater tots were just very different with the corn and cotija cheese. But still good. For dinner I ordered the steak and frites and a side of cucumber salad. It was a good portion of steak and fries and I liked the different sauces that you can pick from. The ginger scallion was my favorite. The cucumber salad was good but just too many onions for me, so I picked around them. Overall it was a great first impression. Our server was attentive and friendly. While service wasn't speedy it was still efficient. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more delicious things off the menu. Starting with the cornbread and the corn dog okra!!!
