I came here while on a pub crawl. I tried the Thai Chili wings and there were delicious. I also had some themed drink a friend grabbed for me - very green, very strong, very good. Given they knew many patrons would be coming during the pub crawl, I wished they had more bartenders and servers because the service was unreasonably slow. However, I loved the food and the second floor seating area so I plan to return to try out their brunch menu.

Great After-Work Vibes & Delicious Food! I went to Estella for an after-work meet-up with a friend, and it was the perfect choice for a Thursday evening vibe. The staff was friendly, and I swear every time I come here, I notice something new. First and foremost, get the Lavender Love drink! You can order it with alcohol or as a mocktail, and both versions are absolutely delicious. For food, I had the Short Ribs and Mash--the ribs were a solid 10/10, tender and full of flavor. The mashed potatoes were good too, but I personally prefer a creamier texture, so I'd give them an 8/10. My friend got the Kale Salad and Mash and rated both a 10/10--and based on what I saw, they did not skimp on a thing. Overall, great food, great atmosphere--I'll definitely be back!

I definitely recommend this spot for dates, ladies night or after work cocktails. They have 3 floors available. Food was amazing! Very well seasoned. I definitely recommend to take a uber/lyft, finding parking in boston is terrible.

By far one of the best dining experiences I have had in a while. The food was so flavorful and the atmosphere was perfect for a Saturday evening. The manager came by our table multiple times to ensure that we had everything we needed and our waiter Issam was so attentive. This is my second time dining here in a month and is becoming one of my favorite spots in Boston.

I really liked my cocktail at Estella. I ordered the new year same me specialty cocktail and it had a delicious lychee flavor. I was unimpressed by the ambiance. It was dark and run down inside. For $20+ dollar drinks I would want a nicer ambiance personally. Service was good tho.

Estella's is the spot if you're looking for good food and an even better atmosphere. The lamb chops were next level--tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The wings were crispy, seasoned just right, and had me wanting more. And the drinks? Smooth, refreshing, and on point. But what made it special was Ari the best waitress you could ask for. She made sure everything flowed, recommended the lamb chops (thank God for that), and made the night feel like a blessing. If you want great food, good energy, and service that leaves an impression, Estella's is where you need to be.

Food: everything that my guest had ordered was really good and cooked to tenderness. The Rasta pasta and wings were an all-time favorite. The cocktails were also delicious with a well balanced sweetness to it, but sometimes it had been a little overly sweet or overly too much liquor inside, so the consistency was a little off. Service: I think this was the first big group our server had so it took a bit longer to get everything ordered in the system. Granted it was a bigger group of people, and a lot was going on but I still think there should've been a better way in organizing his way around the guest accordingly.. The event coordinator was fantastic. He made sure everything was prepared for as well. Overall, I had a great experience for my birthday. Ambiance: there's three floors in the restaurant and we were at the base level where it's a dark ambience with 20s modern vibe Location accommodation: it's right near the Boston Commons so you could possibly find side parking but garage parking is also available

It took us longer than usual to get into the city so sadly, after I pushed back our reservation once, it was cancelled. This was totally understandable and I could have called or tried to manage it again on OpenTable but I just didn't have the opportunity. Thankfully, when we arrived we were still able to be seated right away even at 6pm on a Thursday night. Phew! There's not many tables on the main floor. We were brought upstairs. This wasn't the best for my mom but we managed. To note, the restrooms are on the main level and it seems like there's seating in the level below it, too. There's no elevator access for public use. The tables are pretty close together and it feels like you're having dinner with your neighbor. I recognized quite a few fellow patrons at the show we attended that evening. Since we were running late, we ordered meals that would be easy to prep & informed our server of our time restraints. I love that they had mocktails. It was a nice surprise because I didn't want alcohol and their soda is Pepsi products (I'm a Coke girlie). I greatly enjoyed the drink I got which had strawberries, lemon, and soda. While the apps & desserts looked interesting, we decided to do just a main course for time. I had the roasted red pear & goat cheese salad. I chose to add steak to it. It was a smaller portion than I was expecting and while it would have been perfect if I had an app or dessert, it left me wanting a snack. It was delicious though, even though the steak was a little tough. My mom chose the chicken mushroom pasta which also was a smaller portion. I think she got less chicken than I had steak! But she liked the flavor and was glad none of it went to waste since we couldn't take any leftovers anyway. Our server was great and the restaurant was cute. If I'm in the area, I'd come back but make sure to order an app & dessert.
