    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!

    Sooooooo delicious. We both got specials and were amazed by how good they were. Portions are huge, so be prepared for leftovers. Our server was wonderful, and the restaurant had great, homey vibes. The veal pietra and shrimp and scallops with vodka sauce were to die for.

    This was our first time here and we had a great experience. Everything we ordered was delicious. Even the ceasar salad blew me away in terms of taste. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. He took great care of us. Would definitely come back and check out the bar.

    The three course Valentine’s Day dinner was excellent! Pretty much everything we had was above average, compared to restaurants at a similar price range. The oysters and shrimp cocktail was a strong start. The Chateaubriand steak was particularly phenomenal, and the sides we chose (spicy broccoli and sautéed mushrooms) exceeded expectations. The profiteroles for dessert rounded it out quite nicely! We will be coming back here.

    Once again, a lovely experience! Having not been to 75 Chestnut for some years, I was delighted to see that it was still as inviting as always. The service was attentive and the food delicious - the menu has both classics and newer offerings, with something for everyone. We were not rushed, which was nice since we ended up spending 2+ hours there! Price points are competitive and you really cannot go wrong here, particularly when looking for a cozy spot on a winter's night, with a beautiful neighborhood right outside the door.
