Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in The Shops at Crystals

We absolutely love coming to Esther’s, and it never fails us; it is always consistent. The food, the atmosphere, the service is always impeccable. We were surprised, we felt the duck benedict was lacking in flavor, and it was unfortunately underwhelming. They can’t all be winners, I guess! Everything else we had knocked it out of the park, as it always has the numerous times we’ve been here, new location and the old one. (The truffle polenta was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted, just FYI) The service was wonderful, and we realized at the end of the brunch our server was the same who served us Mother’s Day. She was then, and was today, an absolute joy, very attentive, and incredibly helpful. She did not need to bring biscuits out, but we couldn’t argue… they were absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much again for making another celebration at Esther’s a wonderful experience!

It was such a great experience. I heard a lot of people talk about it online and on YouTube and I had to check it out for myself. The atmosphere was amazing. The people were friendly and the food was terrific. I will definitely be coming back again the next time I’m in town.

Tableside bananas foster is a must-try!!! Incredible. Chris and David made the experience memorable for all the right reasons! Great recommendations and the wait staff was impeccable. There were several times I never noticed my water glass being refilled but magically, there was always water! It seems silly to remark on that but it was appreciated!

This was the first time my family has eaten at Nacho Daddy. We chose this restaurant because my daughter has celiac disease and we needed a place that had gluten free options. The filet mignon nachos were the best! Our server took extra care to ensure that there was no gluten cross contamination. We will definitely go again!

Very good service and ambience but unable to cook a steak properly
