| - Well worth the wait! Estrellon is finally open for business and serving up some amazing cuisine. The restaurant itself was gorgeous. Stunning woodwork, fabulous tables, and we loved the view into the open kitchen! The bar area is completely separate from the restaurant and the perfect spot for after work, pre-show at the Overture, or after dinner drinks. The tapas bar is in the bar area as well which is fabulous to sit and watch and drool over their wares.
The drinks were delicately hand crafted. We had the Herbs and the Bees (a blend of gin, yellow chartreuse, lavender honey) and the Monk Melon. My Tempranillo by the glass was the perfect complement to the food as well.
Most importantly, the food!! First, if you have any questions on the menu, don't hesitate to ask your server...they perfectly explained anything we threw at them! Prepare to order a lot of plates due to smaller portions, but it's a blast to try so many different things! Pan con Tomate was a great easy starter (fresh crushed tomatoes on toasted bread), the heirloom tomatoes were the most amazing fresh local tomatoes prepared simply with EVOO and a dusting of delicious flavors, the charred beets are served atop a crisped baguette, and the mortadella was as excellent as you'd expect from a Spanish restaurant. We absolutely loved the seared padron peppers that were sprinkled with sea salt and the dragon tongue beans were out of this world....they are beans I know, but trust me, you need to order them along with the patatas bravas (aoli and red sauce topped frites). We also had the brisket with chimichurri (don't think of this as a southern BBQ brisket) and the seared scallop with the most amazing fresh corn relish.
The night ended on an amazing high note with dessert. When our server recited the dessert menu, our table of 5 said yes....we want them ALL! Best decision we made all night! Out of this world was the basque cake served with seasonal berries (it's a delicious almond base cake that is perfectly crunchy on the outside while moist and creamy on the inside), their take on a crème brulee, sorbet with fresh berries and, of course, churros served with the most insane drinking chocolate (perfect for dunking!).
We are already planning our return visit for the paella, which looked outstanding at a neighboring table! Cheers to Tory Miller and his dedicated team for another unique and outstanding addition to Madison!
