Great food and service. Nice options off the regular menu and specials. It was a bit noisy, and the booth was not the most comfortable, but everything was fabulous otherwise. The dessert and coffee were a fantastic end to the evening as well. Order the short rib! It was to die for. Thanks to our server, Eugene, for making it a lovely night for our family!

One word describes everything, excellent. The hostess and server were both amazing. Our server was Julie. She was attentive without being smothering. The food was great and the serving sizes were fair. But who wouldn't want a bigger dessert. In the end, the bill was very fair and we had a great evening.

We enjoyed our dinner at Estera this past week. We started with a caesar salad that was excellent, followed by the spicy pasta and spaghetti and meatballs. Both dishes were well prepared and the smallish portion size was just right for us. The wine list is very good. Eugene was our server and very attentive and friendly. We will definitely return to Estera while we are visiting St Croix. Thank you for a nice evening.

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at Estera. We happened to get there during their happy hours when they offer half price or discounted prices on many of their meals and drinks. We enjoyed a wonderful lobster sushi as an appetizer, my husband had their short ribs and I had the wahoo. We also had a bottle of wine and a yummy Bundt cake for dessert. Everything was delicious and fresh. Our service was excellent and the ambiance is very attractive. We will definitely return and highly recommend Estera to anyone who wants an upscale and delicious dinner o St Croix.
