Best Historic Restaurants in Melrose

I brought my nephew to Gluten free Monday. He has serious food allergies and does not often get to experience dining out. The wait staff (Ryan) and Manager, Maureen made him feel exptra special and paid very careful attention to his significant allergies. We had a great evening and I will definitely go back! Thank you!

Went there for my husband’s birthday. It was very busy but we were waited on quickly. The food was delicious. We will defintely recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to go back!

This is the second time for us at Estella’s. We loved it so much the first time we brought back the entire family. Our experience was even better the second time around. Food is delicious and the staff is so attentive and sweet! A big shout out to our waiter for the evening, Issman! He was wonderful. Definitely going back again and again!

To be fair, we went on Valentine’s Day, so some chaos was expected. Waiting 30 minutes for a reserved table wasn’t too bad, especially since others waited longer. The food was okay—nothing impressive, but decent. One annoying thing was that they ran out of meatballs and brought us arancini without checking first. We would’ve liked the option to choose something else. Funny enough, about 20 minutes later, a couple who arrived after us got meatballs—maybe they just needed more time to make them. Also, they mistakenly charged us for meatballs instead of arancini, which I didn’t catch. It was only a $1 difference and it’s totally on me (I should check before I leave,) but still, always double-check your bill, especially if they switch an item for you.

Great time! Had to ask for corn bread twice but finally got it! Fish chowder and mashed potatoes were not hot, rather luke warm to cold. But delicious nonetheless. Third visit and we will be back since we live local.
