   Etsela was definitely not worth the price. The staff was amazing and attentive. The building itself was extremely cold and a bit uncomfortable. The ceviche was amazing but the cod and steak were NOT worth the price at all. The drink on the other hand were amazing!

   Great food, atmosphere, and location. Very intimate setting, only 7 or 8 tables outside so it doesn't have that noisy restaurant thing going. The music is present but not intrusive like many other places I've been to in PR. They have a small menu which looks like gets updated monthly. We had options for steak, pork chops, duck, scallops, octopus, and a pasta dish. Special mention for the key lime creme brulee and caramel mousse deserts.... absolutely out of this world. I can't remember if it was reservation only, but it was full the whole time we were there so I would definitely make one.

   This is a gem! The service was prompt and polite. I loved how the head waitress guided our ordering by recommending we craft a three course meal! It was a highlight tour of the menu. The scallops in parmesan sauce was so light and tasty! Steak seasoned and cooked to perfection! Really a wonderful dining experience. Only feedback to improve is to loose the single serving plastic water bottles, which are wasteful and look cheap in an otherwise elegant experience.

   Overall we were disappointed in some of the offerings. The gazpacho was entirely over salted and we assumed it was added, the salt. They quickly replaced it indicating this serving was not salted. It was not much different. Though, made no offer to change out the order. The main entrees did not have any local fish, though offered Cod. The dish was subpar, the flavors just did not compliment one another and Cod was watery and lacked texture. The ribeye and duck were very good. Would recommend to stay with meat dishes for entrees, if no local fish is available. Did have the octopus for an appetizer and it was delicious.

   Probably the best high end restaurant in Rincon, PR. Great for couples trying to escape the crowded restaurants downtown. The menu changes often and the food is amazing fresh and locally sourced. The staff is great, friendly and will make recommendations based on your tastes. Must make a reservation in advance as all tables were booked the night we dined at Estela. Thanks to our servers Anthony and Anjelica. And thanks to Opentable for the recommendation.😃

   The best dining experience we've had in Rincon. Drinks, apps, dinner, and dessert were all amazing. Everything we ordered came quickly, fast enough that the couple next to us requested a delay between course delivery. Wait staff was patient in explaining our choices and very friendly. Best espresso martini I think I've ever had!

   What a surprising meal! We both had wonderfully cured cocktails ! Our waitress was very helpful with helping us order. I ordered the octopus which was the most tender and tasty I've ever had. My husband ordered the duck which was a healthy and tender serving with a delicious puree. My hubby had the key lime brulee for dessert- what a genius combo! We loved it so much we booked one more night while we're here in Rincon. You need reservations!

   Como siempre, Estela no falla, la comida riquísima, el lugar agradable y el servicio impecable. En mi opinión lo mejor de PR.
