    Our server Kristian (Christian?) was attentive and professional, while also being personable. Only hiccup was we ordered oysters to have with our cocktails, and they came out with our appetizers. Unexpectedly, Kristian delivered a flute of champagne to us as we were at that point waiting on our bottle of red wine, for our dinner. That was a nice touch and a good save! The food was really outstanding. we had 2 filet entrees and one beef wellington in addition to apps and oysters. It was a great evening,

    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.

    It was a great birthday meal in Boston. Our waitress was amazing 👏 and the food was fantastic as it always is at legal seafood. It was snowing while we were there so it added to the atmosphere of being in Boston around Christmas.
