Piri Piri Chicken (no dairy due to dietary restriction)
Kassie K.

Where do I even start? Estelle is, without question, my absolute favorite restaurant in Minnesota. Going here always feels like a true treat, and I genuinely cannot recommend it enough. The photos included in this review are from my most recent visit, which also happened to be my milestone birthday, an experience made even more special by everything Estelle does so exceptionally well. As incredible as the food is, the staff somehow manages to be even better. They are truly outstanding. Every single person is knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. After countless visits, I've never once been disappointed by the service. They know the menu inside and out, handle my food allergies with complete ease, and are always polite, accommodating, and warm. When I recently brought my family to Estelle, the first thing they raved about afterward was the service. Now, the food. I genuinely dream about the patatas bravas. I hope they never leave the menu because they are the most perfect appetizer. Crispy fried potatoes topped with a smoky, spicy red sauce and aioli, absolute perfection. If you go to Estelle, PLEASE order them. You will not be disappointed. My favorite entrée is the Piri Piri chicken, a dish I think about nearly every day of my life. The spice is perfectly balanced and keeps you coming back for more. It's incredibly flavorful, unique, beautifully plated, and simply divine. Other standout favorites among people I've dined with include the Pica Pau, the Rigatoni, and the pesto (proof that there's truly something for everyone here). Estelle has something truly special going on. The space is small but mighty, also very romantic for a date or celebration dinner. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or just looking for an exceptional dinner, this is the place. I couldn't recommend it more.

It's Good for Yuh cocktail

I've been wanting to try Estelle for a while now & it did not disappoint! They have a stunning patio, delicious food, and we had the sweetest, most attentive server! The cheese-stuffed, bacon-wrapped dates melted in your mouth. The cocktail was flavorful, dimensional- would get again. And there were no leftovers! Our server brought complimentary birthday churros for my mother in law, and they were delicioussss. This is a great place for birthdays and anniversaries - it calm, airy and classy, but not formal unless you want it to be! - street parking - kids menu - recommend a reservation for the weekends!

Patatas bravas
Chris C.

Wow! Just wow! One of the best meals we have ever had. We went to dinner at Estelle to celebrate our anniversary. They offered complimentary toast to celebrate our anniversary. So nice! We had already looked at their menu and had a plan for what we would like to order. We started with the Falafel.  The Falafel was excellent! Better than some falafel we have had at Lebanese restaurants. Then came our Patatas Bravas. Such a simple dish, but oh so tasty. Crispy potatoes with a slightly spicy sauce cooler with streaks of creamy mayo. Then came the Rissoles. The first time we had confit chicken was at a restaurant in Atlanta. It was a memorable experience. So was this dish. Crispy on the outside. Inside the chicken is meltingly tender. A little spice from the poblano and notes of cilantro help cut the richness of that confit chicken. We then tried the Bucalao. You get the texture of the fish without a fish taste. The habanero tartar sauce is the perfect compliment and is not nearly as hot as it sounds. We were already pretty full at this point however we needed to try one of their staple dishes. The Radiatore. Oh my goodness! First of all, nothing like fresh pasta. The jalapeno pesto again is not as spicy as you might think, yet provides a little heat that cuts the richness of the pesto. The smoked almonds provide a beautiful crunch contrast to the creamy pasta. Outstanding dish! Since it was our anniversary, we decided to get two desserts. Well actually three as the first item to hit the table was their complimentary Churros. I love, love churros! These churros were unlike any churro that I have ever had. They were light and crispy. Not doughy at all. Easily addictable. Then came their Creme Fraiche Cheesecake. This made me forget that I had wanted to try their no longer available Star Bar. This cheesecake was so good. The roasted strawberries were amazing. The cheesecake was light and creamy with a crunchy biscuit crust.  We took a piece of their honey cake home with us. Their honey cake was rich and creamy. The cake came with some hazelnut praline and honeycomb toffee which provided a nice crunch to accompany the creamy cake. Outstanding meal! Outstanding service! Two other servers stopped by our table to say congratulations. They also did a wonderful job of staggering our dishes so they came out as we were finishing the current dish. We sat on their comfortable covered patio. We are already planning our return trip. This is a special place!

Radiatore
Tiana D.

Amazing!! Came to Estelle for a birthday and was not disappointed. Excellent food, creative cocktails, and attentive service. Made a reservation online a few days in advance and had the option for dining room, patio, or chef's counter. Street parking can be tricky. The dining room was a little hot due to the open kitchen, so sit in the bar if you want it a little cooler. I ordered the Straight Cash, Homie mezcal cocktail and loved it. A perfect bright drink for summer, but still with some depth. The heirloom tomato salad and radiatore with jalapeño pesto were my favorite foods. Both had such fresh flavors. We were too full for dessert, but our server brought us some cava and mini churros for the birthday - so kind. I can't wait to come back and try other things in the menu!

Patatas Bravas
Linda Y.

This is such a fantastic spot in the area. The service was incredible and the space itself is nice! We started off with drinks - I got the Scrump Diddley and it was very good and enjoyable. My sister got the Lady Brett Ashley that was non-alc and it was so good! For the tapas, we went with the Patatas Bravas and the Shrimp Al Ajillo. The Patatas Bravas was a huge portion and I thoroughly enjoyed these. They were crispy and paired so well with the tomato sauce. The Shrimp Al Ajillo was also very refreshing. For the mains, we went with the Radiatore pasta and the Pan Seared Rainbow Trout. The Radiatore pasta was delicious and I highly recommend this one! The sauce was a nice jalapeno pesto and it coated so well on the radiatore pasta. The Pan Seared Rainbow Trout wasn't bad but wasn't my favorite. It was pretty basic with a light gastrique sauce. There were a lot of bones in the fillet that we got. We ended the meal with the Creme Fraiche Cheesecake and since it was my sister's birthday, they also added a cute little candle to the side! We really appreciated this. The kitchen also shared some chocolate churros with us. This is definitely a great spot to celebrate or for a nice dinner. They have limited parking spots on the east side of their building.

Cheeseburger
Yasiri N.

1000000% my favorite restaurant of all restaurants. Food is spectacular, drinks are incredible, service is the best of the best. The vibe is upscale, but family friends and you are allowed to have fun. Give it a try if you haven't done so yet!

Rigatoni
Alonzo A.

Absolutely phenomenal restaurant to visit. Sat at the Chef's table and couldn't be happier watching the Chef's cook and the expo making sure everything runs smoothly. Service was perfect. Menu was explained well and my server was super nice. Food was the absolute star of the night. Bacalo was a great way to start and the rigatoni was one of the best pasta dishes I've had in awhile. And I just came back from Italy 4 weeks ago!! Super saucy, great portion size and the cook of the pasta was perfect. Ended the night with the honey cake and some complimentary churros. Both were perfect and shout out to the pastry chef on the honey cake. Sweet, crunchy and creamy all in one bite. Estelle is a must visit. I'll be back for that phenomenal looking cheeseburger.

Chicken liver with olive tapenade. And the FLUFFIEST bread
Elly P.

Finally made it here. Always passed by it. Now we are here. Walk in ok. The service is great. Ambiance is chill with enough excitement coming thru the open kitchen Food are amazing. Must order: *chicken liver with olive tapenade. Because it comes with the fluffiest bread that is just out of this world. Kudos to pastry chef that baked this "out of this world" bread *Honey cake is very light not too sweet. With some crunchy honeycomb just perfect ends to meal. This pastry chef I heard her name is "NoK" should win an award. She'll definitely gets from me

Elizabeth D.

We had a lovely dinner here! Food and drinks were delicious and service was superb! Loved the patio area outside. If you're in the market for some more upscale dinning, I highly recommend!

Churros
Tracey F.

Stopped in recently for a birthday dinner. Got a reservation for the "chef's counter", which is basically a bar top overlooking the kitchen. As someone who loves to cook and usually looks at all the food coming out of the kitchen to see what others order, this was heaven for me. Had the patatas bravas for an appetizer. I could have had a second of those for sure. The sauce was delicious. Ordered the pesto radiatore and the calabrian Chile rigatoni for our meals. Both were out of this world tasty. Also tried the honey cake for dessert and they offer small churros to everyone post-dinner. I can't wait to go back and sit at the chef's counter again!

Niela L.

Pica pau tapa was absolutely delicious!! The wine the server recommended was a great match to our pasta. We'd highly recommended the Rigatoni! Ambience was great out in the patio and service was phenomenal! Enjoyed our time here, things were just a little pricey-- but it was expected!

House made Churros
Calvin N.

Visited Estelle with a group of friends and we ordered several dishes and shared them family style. The service was excellent everything arrived as ordered and in a very timely fashion. I had a margarita that was perfect! We also shared the Potato Bravas, Rigatoni , and a few other dishes all were very good the consensus at the table was the rigatoni took the overall best spot. But was not an easy decision. For dessert we had the Butter Cale and Churros both very good. Great meal great service and a good time had by all !

It's a really cozy moody interior, with *no big lights* aka great low lighting and comfy seating options. When we went, there were just a few other parties there so pretty quiet. I liked that we had a whole corner to ourselves with a sectional couch of sorts and some chairs. They close at 10pm on a Friday night, which felt absurdly early for a cocktail bar. But, we were able to order and drink one drink during the ~45 minutes we had. They closed up shop promptly at 10pm. They had a classics and a "rumors" section of the menu. I didn't think the signature drinks were overly unique, with classics like Paper Plane making that menu side. I had a pomegranate mojito which was good! Consensus was that the cocktails were good not exceptional, especially for the $16-17 price point. We ordered churros for the table which were a table favorite! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, but we enjoyed our time and could see this being a good option if you lived in the neighborhood and don't mind the early close hours.

Since we didn't have a reservation, we arrived early and were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. From the moment we walked in, we loved everything about the place. The décor is beautiful, the ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff was fantastic. The menu offers so many great options, and the cocktails were even better than expected. Our server, Rosie, provided excellent recommendations, and we genuinely loved everything we ordered. They also offer a great happy hour until 6 PM, which is a nice bonus. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I highly recommend giving it a try. One small note: We didn't realize a 20% gratuity had already been added to our bill. That's partially on us for not catching it on the credit card slip, (we tipped in cash) but I do think it would be helpful if servers mentioned it when presenting the check. I typically prefer to tip in cash, so on our $62 tab, we ended up leaving a $34 tip. Even with that little surprise, we'll absolutely be back. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all worth another visit!

Located in the area by the private colleges, they have a small parking lot on the right. Inside of the restaurant is colorful and dimly lit.

The White Squirrel Bar was just okay to me. There was live music going on, which was a nice touch…read moreand probably the highlight of the visit. The inside of the bar is pretty small and felt a bit cramped, especially with how busy it was on a Sunday. They do have a back patio that is fairly large, which I appreciated, but during the day it did not feel very inviting. Without lighting or much going on, it came off a bit plain. As for drinks, I tried a non alcoholic half and half with lemonade and iced tea, which I actually really liked. I also had a mojito style cocktail that was not my favorite and tasted a bit too strong for me. The overall vibe just was not really my thing, but I could see it being more fun at night or with a bigger group.

I came in to enjoy some live music with a couple of amazing local bands, and I am absolutely sold. Highlights include: tons of street parking nearby, superior selection of drinks (more on this later), and awesome people. Everyone, from the folks behind the bar to the other patrons, was ultra welcoming. I'm pretty sure this is the neighborhood Cheers. Seriously--amazing vibes, and it's great for solo people. (I realize that might be ambiguous, so what I mean by "great for solo people" is that you won't feel uncomfortable coming here alone. It's easy to chat with people if you want to; it's easy to just enjoy the music if you want to.) Okay, I know you want to hear about the drinks. They have a great selection of beer on tap. They have tons of cocktails, including a selection of barrel-finished cocktails. Not drinking tonight? They have plenty of THC and even a CBD-only option (winning!), along with some non-altering choices that include switchel(!). There's a huge outdoor patio with fire pits that I will probably check out next time. Anyway, this is a great spot!

I have been here two times in the last week and lemme tell ya.. this is quite the spot. I do suggest making a reservation because everytime I go here it is popping! What a vibey place, the lights aren't too bright, it gives a hip, fun, light energy and is not too pretentious but has INCREDIBLE FOOD AND DRINKS. Right now, one of their specials is whitefish toast.. if you enjoy fish at all, you need this. The fish is light and fresh, they put fresh dill on top and it is placed on top of some toasted sourdough bread perfectly. The fish is flavorful, a lil earthy and I feel as if there are capers or olives in in the fish mixture, whatever it is is fire! The burrata, beets, and citrus is a nice lovely, fresh, light app, the burrata is perfection with the beets and fresh, juicy citrus, drizzled with some oil and random pieces of garlic mixed in, YUM. I suggest ordering bread on the side with this one! The wings here are a staple and always delish. Crispy, hot, and coated perfectly in a light sweet chili sauce.. they hit the spot everytime. The housemade ranch is a perfect dipper. The other day I tried the chorizo and scallops... oh my goodness gracious.. it was a lil spicy and creamy with the bean puree and the scallops were buttery, light and divine! 10 outta 10 would do again. Finally, got the goat cheesecake, gluten free ginger snap crust with poached pears. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I want this now and in every lifetime! The cheesecake was light, yet decadent, deep, creamy with a light, unassuming flavor. The crust was delicious and the poached pears added that perfect fruit component. I got Liam as my server both times, he was helpful, attentive, had good suggestions when asked questions and didn't interrupt at all, amazing! This is the spot for any occasion!
