    Banana bread with whipped cream
    G B.

    Estera was a great place to dine while in STX. The appetizers were all delicious. We ordered the tuna on crispy rice, Caesar salad and baked Brie. All three I would order again. For my entree, I got the short rib which was an incredible portion, fell right off the bone and was very tasty. If we're cutting hairs, the sauce could've been a little better for the short rib but overall would recommend. My partner got the wagyu, and enjoyed it but didn't feel it was worth it for the price point ($90). The dessert might've been the best part of the meal, highly highly recommend the banana bread. Staff was attentive, the ambiance felt a little stuff where we sat (between the entrance, bar and kitchen which was visible to the entire restaurant). Overall would eat here again

    Cocktail!

    Very nice cool vibe. Open space with open kitchen where you can see the kitchen staff putting out some amazing plates. Innovative cocktail menu without some of the tired "boat drinks" on so many menus and small but intriguing list of wines by glass and bottle. Server was very good. Knew the menu well, efficient and attentive. Wahoo was the fresh catch and we had two different versions both excellent and creative. Love the exposed brick and dark ceiling. Nice mood in what could have turned out like a strip mall feel. We'll be back in March!

    Bourbon bread pudding
    Lily A.

    First of all, the vibe is spectacular. The lighting was absolutely perfect and just the right amount of tables for it to be intimate. Went twice during our stay at the island and it was all amazing both times. The bruschetta was delicious. The steak with potatoes and Gorgonzola sauce was to die for also, the bourbon bread pudding was something out of this world. The service was phenomenal both times. Definitely a must try.

    Happy hour daily with $12 cocktails, but they also have off-menu drinks that are less expensive! I found this place to be lacking a little direction...they have steak, Italian, American...portions seem small and prices high. Ambiance is nice if you want to sit inside (if it rains, is too hot etc.) in an old stone house kinda vibe. Bartender was friendly and prompt. Espresso martini was a bit too chocolatey for us.

    Carbonara

    We were able to grab a table here on their opening at 5 on a Tuesday - the cool, clean interior was a welcoming place after a day in the sun. Our server was great. I had the wedge salad which was very good (I love pickled onions and love that they made it with those) and the carbonara was good as well. A great chew on the pasta and a creamy sauce - just needed a bit of bread to be able to finish that sauce up properly! The local mushrooms served with the steak were fantastic. I asked them to spike my lemonade and it was delicious!

    Jagerschnitzel - AMAZING!
    Andrea F.

    Came here for my birthday and it was delicious! People are friendly and attentive. Great service! The location for the restaurant has so much history to it. I love how they kept some old with some new. Definitely a place to visit if you are on the island. Everything was fantastic!

    From the ambiance to the service and the quality of the drinks, this place is a must visit. Our…read morebartender, Trevor, was recommended from another bar we visited. We sat at a high top in front of the bar and were greeted immediately. I had the espresso martini and it was sweet and frothy and garnished with shredded chocolate bits. It was the perfect dessert drink. Trevor answered some questions we had about the island and was prompt and pleasant through checkout. Wished we could've gotten over there a few more times during our trip.

    Stepping into this dimly lit tiki bar is like entering a hidden world. Lavish details, from the…read morebrass lion heads on the doors, to the glow of a copper diving helmet, to the puffer-fish lamps and gilded menu, create a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of a shipwreck. Once your eyes have adjusted, you can start reading the truly extensive cocktail menu. There are both classic tiki and newer creations available, and during happy hour, some of the simpler drinks (like Mai Tais) are discounted. If you are new to tiki, you might get frustrated with some of the service times, but each drink can be so complex, they take a little longer than your average rail to make (but it's worth it for the layered flavors). Breaker's Roar is my favorite bar in Christiansted, and it is great either as a first drink of the night spot, or as a final hurrah. I have never had a bad drink from them, and I don't even have a favorite, everything I have tried is so delicious. Each drink also comes in a carefully selected vessel, and that id definitely part of the equation in placing an order. The last time we went, there was also a small bites menu that was a pleasant surprise. We liked the two plates we tried, but already had dinner reservations. Next time we go back, we plan to eat a full meal. This place is a must if you are on the boardwalk!

We chose a sunset seating and the pictures are unreal. one of the most beautiful restaurant views because the water is right there- if you sit on the lower patio you might get sprayed a little! I asked for a creamy espresso martini and the bartender got it perfect- I ordered two! The other cocktails were good as well. The hot crab dip was amazing! I loved that the pumpkin pasts wasn't overwhelmingly pumpkin- it was just perfectly balanced. All of the vegetables and sauces on the Buddha's feast were delicious, but since it was just vegetables, I wish there had been more volume because event after sharing an app I was still hungry. We got the rum cake for desert, and we LOVE rum cake. However, if you had told me this was just chocolate cake, I would have believed it. It needed much more rum/syrup!

The food. MEH. I love carpaccio but this was underwhelming and didn't have enough acidity to balance the plate. I ordered the lobster pasta. Wow -what a disappointment. The lobster was over cooked and chewy. The sauce (bisque) was flavorless and needed salt and a bit of heavy cream badly. The pasta was way past al dente. Had to ask for bread- was told "had to see if they had enough for a side of bread." Ran out of risotto for a 730 pm reservation. Offered two specials but I had to ask the price. (Pet peeve--tell me the special price). And then the server wasn't sure and had to go ask. Go only for the location and view --not the food. The mocktails were both delicious. Points for having a mocktail list!

There is a beautiful outdoor dining courtyard option. Inside is open concept where you can see the chefs preparing the food! Our severe was phenomenal and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Speedy and attentive and just so friendly. For appetizers we had the Octopus, the baked Brie, and the Conch Ceviche with fritters. Truly each of these dishes had something special about them and were all FANTASTIC! Presentation, texture, flavor all amazing. I still think about the Brie five days later writing this review. I wish I took more photos! For entree I had the steak. It was a New York Strip with house made chimichurri, and a sweet potato mash. Wow it was the best steak I've had in a long time. All the flavors on the plate complimented each other so beautifully. Again, I wish I took more pictures!! Dessert was a delight all on its own. The Crème Brûlée was smooooooth as can be. Not a single lump or bump. The plantain foster really did steal the spotlight on the dessert. It was warm and gooey and flavorful and perfect! There was some foster sauce left over that we ended up mixing with some crème brûlée and it was heaven. One of the intriguing aspects of this place was the chef was on the TV show 'Beat Bobby Flay'... iykyk. I definitely can see how he beat him.

We tried the Caesar, garden, Greek & Thai salads. Fresh and well seasoned with house made dressings. Next up seared tuna & escargot.
