- JjessicaSouthwest Florida •1 review4.0Dined 1 day agoThe food was great, a bit overpriced for certain items such as the fried rice but again over all great. Our server was a bit disconnected and didn’t seem to care too much about our time there, and as it was our first time that was a little disappointing. She was nice but not very present for us.More infoPJK Neighborhood Chinese Restaurant - EsteroPrice: Expensive• Chinese• Estero•4.1
- JJeffNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoI have dined here many times. Tonight was extremely busy since it was Valentine's Day. t was unusual to have to wait for an entree or server but under the circumstances I can understand, Each meal is carefully prepared for the customers. and every table was full for my 7:30 reservation., ordered the Pasta with shrimp as a main course, and calamari to start. They were both excellent and well. seasoned. My wife ordered carpaccio as her appetizer that she enjoyed and the sea bass which the said was absolutely delicious. That came with a potato dish and lots of vegetables. The surprise ending was two chocolate covered strawberries that we both enjoyed. We enjoyed a wonderful bottle of wine from their extensive wine list. This place is really a hidden gem that beats all the most well--kkniwn names in SW Florida in my opinion.More infoRistorante FarfallaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Estero•4.2
