| - Before i came to Estrellon, i was interested to see why they only had a 3.5 star yelp average ( 2-27-2017). Being an avid yelper, this seemed a little off because they appear very high end from an outsiders perspective. I read many of my peer's reviews prior to coming and most had to do with cost of food/proportion and bad service experiences.
I came here with a group of seven on Saturday night. My conclusion after dining there...I can understand why someone would write those things, but you also need to have the right expectation coming to Estrellon.
First, this is a small plate style restaurant. If you want to leave with a full belly, you came to the wrong place or you need to spend at least $100 per person. That is just the way it is. You are there to sample, many fine foods...not dig in. I do think it would have added much value to our dining experience if they could have added a single serving more to each small plate. (Ex: one more shrimp or scallop). Just a little more. My favorites of the night were the shrimp, scallops and brisket small plates. Other favorites among my group, were the olives as an app and the paella as a large plate.
Secondly, i am also in the middle of the road on service. They were extremely considerate about my food allergies and my host (my boyfriends father) asked to meet Tory Miller himself, and they accommodated! It meant so much to him, he is a huge fan. In addition, they really allowed us to leisurely eat our meal. We were there for many hours without feeling rushed. On the flip side, my boyfriends dad had troubles making reservations for us.He tried through open table, which only allows a reservation up to 6. Secondly, he called and left a voicemail, and no one returned it and lastly he called again and when he did, they said they had his reservation (no one had confirmed it). I feel like that is a lot of effort for him to put in, especially with how generous he was in paying for a high end meal for us all. Lastly, our waitress was great, but if she had been around a little more, i know we would have ordered more food.
Based on the mix i have described from my evening, i am giving Estrellon a four star rating. This makes me sad, because i know they are trying to be a five star dining experience...and right now i am not feeling that is what i had last night. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my meal. It was a great experience. However, If i was looking for another high end/small plate dining experience, i would most likely try somewhere new, closer to the square then return at this point in time.
