The restaurant has had some updates done. Gives a nice lounge feel. The bars & seating areas are…read morethe same places. I came in for the 4-6p happy hour & had the Jubba wings, side of oxtail Mac n Cheese (not HH), Strawberry Margarita, & Red Sangria. I arrived at 5p & it wasn't too busy since they opened at 4p. That soon changed. Thankfully, I put in my order pretty fast, & received the food promptly. As it became busier, I noticed there was a delay in food coming out. Especially if am entrée was ordered. The food itself was delicious. They didn't skimp on the amount of Oxtail & cheeses in my side order. The portion was also filling & I had leftovers (yeah!) It was hot, tender, & it had the cheese pull. The wings were tough, but the sauce was everything. So good, I didn't bother with the dipping sauce, that has a mayo consistency. The strawberry margarita was tasty, a little sweeter than I'm used to. The sangria was ok. It more of red wine, orange juice & maybe pineapple. The service was good until the crowd came in. My bill had an extra drink on it & had to have it corrected twice, with the result being refunded some money in cash. Despite this, I would still frequent the restaurant. The music is always enjoyable & the food is delicious.

We went for a little Galentine's dinner, and while the food was absolutely amazing (that oxtail mac…read moreand cheese is to die for ), the service was really disappointing. The restaurant was packed, which I get, but this has happened on multiple visits (July and September) the staff can be so rude and inattentive. During this visit, our waitress basically forgot about us. We never got water, had to track her down through the hostess, and watched her serve other tables while we waited. Eventually, she admitted, "omg I forgot about them," and they took 10% off our bill. A nice gesture, but it doesn't make up for feeling ignored. Great food, terrible service it's hard to fully recommend unless they fix their staff issues.

Every marginalized community needs its spaces to feel connected. I started going to the old Chez in…read morethe late-'70s and it's always been an important nexus for the marginalized. You can express joy here. I moved away in the '80s but when I'm back in CT to visit family I usually stop by there (which I still refer to as "The New Chez EST") at least once. I had an insane amount of fun one theme night I happened to show up for recently. May the Chez ever thrive. Hartford needs it.

"Kind of a drag When your baby don't love you"…read more(The Buckinghams) When one of your closest friends invites you to a drag show, you step out of your comfort zone and go! That's what eight of us did today as we headed over to Chez Est for a 90's themed "Brunch in Heels" featuring Loosey Laduca's crew of three singing and dancing drag queens. Loosey was the emcee, had an entertaining patter throughout the show, introduced the performers, and gave a stirring rendition of "the greatest song of the 90's" - My Heart will Go On from Titanic. So what other songs did we hear as the performers danced, did some bone cracking splits, strutted around the stage, and worked the crowd for tips? We heard Lady Marmalade by Li'l Kim, Lose My Breath by Destiny's Child, Let's Get Loud by J Lo, Barbie Girl by Aqua, Groove is in the Heart by Deee-Lite, Donatella by Lady Gaga, and Shoop by Salt-N-Pepa. We even heard a medley of 90's kiddie TV shows including Animaniacs and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The show was very entertaining and included an audience participation segment where birthday boys and girls crashed the stage for a dance-off and a beer chugging competition. Oh, and we also had brunch there -the food menu is very reasonable and ranged from $8 to $12 a plate for eggs, waffles, breakfast tacos and the like. Eight of us ate and drank for $300 including tip. That doesn't include the scores of singles we spent tipping the entertainers. I thought the staff at Chez Est was very accommodating and helped us move and consolidate our two tables so we had a better view of the stage. But even if you sit way in the back, the entertainers strut their stuff throughout the premises to hit every table, and there are a few strategically placed flat screens on the walls showing the stage action. It was quite a fun time.
