Excellent kitchen and waitstaff. Restaurant has lingering kitchen grease odors and has started piping in noisome AI generated muzak.

Found Estella on Open Table. The staff were friendly and efficient. We had a reservation and were seated right away. We were seated upstairs. Party of six. There is no ambience which is unfortunate because the food was very good. The only bathroom was downstairs and opened directly to the bar. I think it is a difficult space to work with. The space was plain and needs updating but the chairs were probably the most comfortable I have ever sat at in a restaurant.

Food was varied, eclectic, creative, but not overly complicated. No dish was less than fantastic. Also, best octopus I’ve ever had. Restaurant was slightly drafty, but not enough to be uncomfortable, and the night I was there it was 15F and windy outside. So I wouldn’t worry about that too much. It was awesome.
