  • Let me start by saying this place would have gotten 5 stars had the upstairs lounge been better-but I'll start with the restaurant itself. A cleanly decorated establishment with a wonderfully tasty menu. A group of 8 of use went to celebrate a birthday and everyone was impressed with the food as well as the surroundings-mainly the bathrooms! The majority of the group ordered the prix fixe menu they offered which is a fantastic deal. My husband went with the 30$ menu and received a caprese salad (okay-nothing to write home about) a 10 oz NY strip steak that was beautifully presented and exceptionally tender, side of baked mac&cheese (too rich for my liking) and a chocolate chip ice cream sandwich-all for 30$! A great bargain as far as I was concerned. The dishes I was not impressed with are not what I consider important, a salad and a side-not going to make or break my decision to come back. The steak was perfectly executed and quite large for a prix fixe menu. I myself went with the branzino (mediterranean seabass) and was more than pleasantly surprised. The fish was stuffed with fresh basil and wrapped with proscuitto and a carmalized cippolini sauce drizzled across the bottom. This fish was hands down one of the best fish dishes I have had while living in Phoenix for the last 3 years and will be something I crave again. Dinner was a 8pm on a Saturday and I must say I was really disappointed with how quiet this restaurant was. After the meal and service I had I would be expecting it to be a full house. I know we are in AZ were people tend to eat earlier-but I thought I was in Scottsdale not Sun City! Hopefully the quietness was just due to the early birds and not to this being "a hidden gem". Perhaps the marketing team kicks it up a bit and gets this establishment the hustle and bustle it deserves. Now onto the upstairs lounge...a MAJOR dissapointment to say the least. Great location, beautifully designed...way off the mark entertainment that turns the clients the restaurant wants...away. Don't get me wrong, the music wasn't bad-rather entertaining, but for a different location-like a juke joint. I would actually enjoy the band if I were more in the mood for a good bourbon and burger. When we entered we were greeted with a blaring rendition of Lynard Skynard...NOT at all the atmosphere you would want after a high end meal in a place styled as such. This particular musician is also booked for about 6-7 weekends based on the lounges website-he also unfortunatley brings along a crowd of 20-something(and those that want to be) followers who's idea of dressing up is wearing flipflops with crystals on them with their TrueReligion jeans. Im not knocking it-just not the vibe or atmosphere you would want at a place such as Estate House. If they turn this area around I could really see it vie for the after work professionals spot for drinks-give Olive&Ivy a run for their money and then turn into a great afterdinner lounge and hotspot for for those "in the know". It will then be my favorite lounge to meet with clients after work, date night with the husband and the all important girls night out.
