Estela - New York

Estela has all the charms of the inner city of new york that they would expect from a dimme, cozy and loud restaurant in the first floor. the endive salat is iconic and worth visiting alone. we also enjoyed the jamon, ricotta dumplings and ducks we ordered. but the endives were on another level! four dishes were enough for two. drinks are not cheap, but they are surely strong! (This is a compliment

Amazing eating experience. thunfish and bark tarts are a must. the ricotta dump was blown and the duck was so rich in aromen that we did not want it to end. skip the pig and try not to eat too much bread (hard, because the brot is perfect). service at the bar was 5 stars; in the table was a little pretentious (poor attention, did not help much)

Great food and atmosphere. unpretentious coating, consistently high quality and balanced dishes as well as attentive staff.

Ricotta tilts the foie gras. that's all they need to know. this place was crazy, I actually cried over my meal. I was originally looking for a Michelin star restaurant in the last minute and a chef recommended this place. that was the last time he was impressed with a meal from the beginning to the end. tables are a little small, but very sweet atmosphere. perfect for a date night or a small group. make you like and try this excellent restaurant

Had a leisurely brunch at the bar on a Saturday. All the seafood ingredients were fresh and high quality, from the fluke and sea urchin (which was unexpectedly spicy to the steelhead trout (cooked perfectly tender). The market greens were braised and had a pleasingly salty-sour broth thanks to the orange and ponzu (reminiscent of tom yum soup).We were deciding between the paella negra and ricotta dumpling for our main carb, and the bartender recommended the dumplings since the paella was more of a dinner dish. They were very rich and filling, in a nice savory broth, and a great way to end the main courses.I wanted to write a full paragraph about the panna cotta, which was simply phenomenal. It was the right balance of light and creamy, with the vinegar and honey mix being a surprisingly nice topping that shouldn't work but does.
