What a knock-out restaurant! Right off the bat the service was excellent and very professional. The cook time for what we ordered was perfect. Felt like swarm service with just one server and she was knowledgeable about everything that came out of the kitchen. Our mini beef wellingtons, deviled eggs with caviar, and the PERFECTLY cooked burger were the most phenomenal parts of our dining experience. Would highly recommend for a nice family outing or romantic sneak away, because the building and atmosphere are stunning! Well done Chef Justin Turner & co.!

Amazing happy hour! My fave was the marasca drink and the shishito peppers. Will definitely return! Very cool vibe -- reminds me of Miami.

Absolutely love this space for a speakeasy. The upstairs offers ample, swanky seating with a good majority of it being table service. We arrived around 10:00 on a Friday and because they were not too busy, Louis allowed us to sit at a table while Melody served us delicious cocktails a la, the rosemary sloe and Estelles old fashioned. We enjoyed ourselves in the space until about an hour later when they started to get packed and someone bought our area. We then moved downstairs where the service at the bar was not the best, but the music was great and we had a great group of friends, which enabled us to tune out the rudeness of the bartender.I will definitely come back!

The restaurant is beautiful and the drinks were good. I ordered about 7 items from the menu with my friend so we could try most of the food. I loved the oysters but everything else I tried was just okay. The reason I’m giving 2 stars is because I overheard our waitress speaking with a manager about how she doubted we would tip that well. Which was rude. When we got our bill, gratuity was included. That’s fine. But I tipped her extra. Just so she could realize she shouldn’t judge a customer by what they look like or how young they are. Anyways, I won’t be back.

Fun cocktail atmosphere with quality bites. Drinks are on point. Burger was the best thing on the menu. Pork belly and beef wellington are also excellent.

Beautiful ambiance, great service and delicious food. I gave it 4 stars because they have a pretty small menu and even though food was tasty portions were small.

Estelles is 1950s Hollywood meets Barbie in the BEST way. Every inch of this place is Instagrammable: the aesthetic interior, polished decor, and gorgeous window views on the upper level will make you want to snap photos of the whole experience. But its not just the aesthetic thats impressive at Estelles, the drinks were a highlight of our visit as well. We ordered three different cocktails, the Pastel, Matcha Martini, and Bitter Kiss, and each of them was as beautiful as it was delicious. I cant speak for the food here or the late night club vibes since we just stopped by for drinks, but I definitely see myself coming back here. I can also imagine this place as a go-to for bachelorette parties in Austin, birthday celebrations, and more, especially since they seem to be able to accomodate large groups.Im so glad this place opened up where Trulucks used to be, it feels like a gem that complements the other fun and colorful establishments on 4th Street!

This was place was not my fav maybe because we went to a “Garden Party” that was literally like a little area that they were giving away a glass of champagne and making permanent bracelets. It was crowded and none of the staff knew what was going on. We left.

Estelles is one of the cozy and upscale restaurant in downtown Austin. We went there for lunch and the lady at front desk allotted a table. The ambience is great and the interiors are amazing. The vibrant colors and comfortable seating arrangements creates a lovely atmosphere. The lady waiteress was so attentive and helpful. We ordered Chicken & Sourdough Waffles and Avacado toasted everything Nan and Salted Caramel Espresso Martini. The food is colorful and decorative .. The Chicken & Sourdough is delicious but the Avacado toasted Nan is average. I expected little yummy but it’s okay.. They have limited selection of appetizers in the Menu and that too the prices are little bit expensive for the portion of the dish they serve. Overall It is one of the best place for dining with friends or to celebrate a special occasion or event.

Estelle’s was great!Walked over after work for a happy hour and had a few drinks and bites.The cocktails are very well done and smooth - exactly what you want out of a cocktail bar. Excited to see the drinks rotate.The food was also very good - the hush puppies were my favorite.Atmosphere was so cute and unique and the AC is ON so you won’t be sweating in the summer heat.

I love this bar! Theres not a ton of bars in Austin where you can actually sit at the bar and chill with the bartenders. Ive done that here and its such a cool environment to hang out in. All the drinks Ive had here have been great, but the service is next level. Christian at the bar is one of the best bartenders Ive met in Austin. The guy is fast, friendly, and comes up with amazing cocktails. I need to become more of a regular here!

Beautiful little lounge. Super cozy and stylish. Service is incredibly slow. Was only my first time, and it was a friday night. So I hope it would be better on a night that isnt so busy or if I had a different server.Maybe theyre short staffed. Not sure. But probably wouldnt go back unless I knew for sure I was going to be getting an attentive server or that it was well staffed.Good for posting on social media, bad if youre looking for a buzz, service is so slow youll never get there.

Great atmosphere! I absolutely loved the style of the place, it gave elegant yet cozy vibes. There were various types of seating raging from intimate leather booths, art deco chairs, and a marble bar top. Whoever designed the interior deserves major kudos. The drinks were outstanding. I highly recommend their chai martini off their holiday menu. Our oysters were very fresh and the vinaigrette that came with it was perfect! Our waitress was amazing and very attentive. She made sure we were well taken care of and we never had to call her over for help! The only negative about this place was the hostess was dismissive and not very genuine.

The place is gorgeous and the music was great. We had a table upstairs, group of 6. The service was terrible …waited hours for our drinks and were told that they were short on glasses so martinis were served on wine glasses and had a weird smell, the drinks were OK. Ordered food and never came. Worst customer experience ever. They tried to make it up by giving us a bottle of “champagne” which was a cheap prosseco bottle.

Went right at opening, 12:00 on a Sunday with 3 other girls. It wasn’t super busy besides a 10+ person birthday party but our server immediately told us they were short staffed. Took my girl 15 min to get a spicy margarita (she did love it though). The rest of us didn’t order drinks , was hoping they had some tea on the menu but no such variety. As far as food we got the everything Naan (only complaint was that it was cold), truffle fries (w/ Gruyère dip, so delish), chicken and waffles were perfect (breaded chicken, butter, pineapple sauce), Lobster Mac & cheese (was disappointed we got the tiniest lobster claw. The tables by us got huge claws). I was also shocked they said they ran out of spinach and tomatoe quiche since they just opened. The decor was really well done and their playlist was on fire. Would love to come back when they have a DJ. Overall super fun place to hang out with friends!

Went with my boyfriend during a Sunday afternoon and had a great experience! We got the caviar and seafood platter- we don’t know anything about caviar (lol) but we very much enjoyed the food. The matcha martini was hands down my favorite thing that we got, I could pound like 10 of those. Our server was also so sweet and attentive, and the manager stopped by our table and was also super friendly.I’ve seen some other negative reviews- but let’s keep in mind this place JUST opened and is sort of a newer concept (restaurants meets lounge meets club) so I’m sure they’re still figuring out certain logistics and getting their groove.I will definitely be coming back with my girlfriends in the future. Atmosphere was 10/10!

What a confusing overpriced experience with surprisingly good food. I feel bad for the kitchen, theres some real talent back there that got completely overshadowed by the absolutely terrible service. 2* for the food alone, wouldnt be fair to give 1* for that.It feels like theres a disconnect between the two sides of the house that unfortunately killed the evening for us. Servers are slow, forgetful and disinterested. It took us 20 minutes after seating to get a drink, did not have anyone swing by until 40 minutes to take food orders and by an hour not all of the food had been fired. We cancelled half the food and left to try and redeem the night down the road (we did successfully).The music was so loud and clubby (think 2014 bad Euro trance) making it impossible to talk even though the space is described as having cozy corners for a private conversation. Between the small baggies on the floor in the bathroom, the music and the staff more interested in what they are doing at 3am this was such a confusion environment with the plants, pastel colors and delicately built cocktails.Fantastic food (when it came out) makes me sad to see it get overshadowed by everything else wrong with the place. If I could get those Wellington bites to go I would. 2* for the food.What a shame to see whats standing where Trulucks used to. The good news is I dont see how this makes it much longer; excited to see what comes next.Thanks for the 100 dollar night for 2 apps, 2 cocktails and us having a laugh at how bad things were. A bit bold to already include 20% gratuity and then ask for extra tip for that experience.

Review №34

My friend and I were so looking forward to coming here, and we had a 7 pm reservation. We arrived exactly on time and waited almost 30 minutes, and still we weren’t seated. Even more frustrating, a group of girls cut us in line and went straight to the hostess and were seated before us, even though we had been waiting for half an hour. When we told the hostess we were leaving because of the long wait and her seating that group before us, she just said “okay” and seemed relieved that there would be one less table to take care of. They were clearly understaffed, but you would think they’d anticipate being busy on a Saturday night. This experience definitely soured us on Estelle’s and we decided to go to a more well-established restaurant on 4th, where we had awesome cocktails and food and were seated immediately, despite the big crowd. Estelle’s could learn a lot about customer service from their neighbors.

Very instagramable, service was amazing, but the menu selection is very very low in combination of the Food taste being subpar.It’s listed as a cocktail bar with only 3 options available on their menu. If I go to a cocktail I would expect more than 3 options and having to try to piece a drink together.

I recently visited Estelles, drawn in by the promises of exceptional drinks and a vibrant atmosphere. While the experience had its highlights, I ultimately left feeling disappointed and a little lighter in the wallet.The Good:Lets start with the positives. The ambiance at Estelles is undeniably captivating. The interior design exudes a trendy and upscale vibe, with natural lighting, plush seating, and a chic décor that creates an inviting atmosphere.he menu boasted an impressive array of cocktails, each with its own unique twist and flavor profile.The Not-So-Good:However, my excitement was short-lived as I perused the menu and realized just how overpriced everything was. While I expected to pay a premium for the experience and the quality of drinks, the prices at Estelles seemed egregiously inflated.The disappointment continued when I sampled some of the food offerings. The menu featured a limited selection of appetizers, which I assumed would be small bites of culinary delight. Sadly, they fell short of expectations.Final Thoughts:In the end, my visit to Estelles was a mixed bag. The captivating ambiance and skillfully crafted drinks showcased the potential for a fantastic night out. However, the glaring issue of overpricing left a sour taste in my mouth.All-in-all we still had to go to another restaurant to eat after the bill was paid.

Super adorable place. The vibes were fantastic and got some great pics. The drinks were great! We came expecting to spend a decent bit of money but also expected the food and atmosphere to be worth the amount paid. Unfortunately, the food was not at all up to our standards for a place like this. We got a salad with steak, but the steak was way overcooked and seemed like a very cheap cut. It was supposed to be NY strip, but if it was, that was a Golden Corral level strip. The salad also contained basically no lettuce. We also got oysters, and those were subpar as well. They were served with the toppings already on them, which was also a bit frustrating. We spent $140 for two people and feel like I should have spent $50. Service was okay, but not as great as Id expect in a restaurant of this caliber. The DJ was great, but it was VERY loud. I would come back for the vibes and drinks but would not eat here again. Not worth the money at all.

It was my birthday and I wanted an over the top experience I thought I could get here. The food was ok but overpriced. But the main thing was that they do not show you pictures of the actual restaurant. The restaurant is a small, dark green room and they sat us in a corner, small table. I thought our reservation was for the second floor with all the windows, open space etc. It was a big bill for being cooped up in the corner of a back room.

Drinks were outstanding and so was the food but they start BLASTING music like a night club at 9pm. It’s not even a reasonable volume - like who would want it so loud you can’t hear yourself think, let alone converse with friends. We did ask them to turn it down and they told us they couldn’t because someone had bought bottle service. I highly doubt the people with bottle service didn’t want to be able to talk to each other. 😂 eventually they turned it down a little bit, but we ended up just leaving because it was obnoxious. This is Austin not LA.

This place is gorgeous and so fun. The food is great. Most of all, our bartender, Mads, not only made the best drinks, but she made our entire experience worth while. Her customer service skills are second to NONE, she is attentive, kind and professional. Most of all, she makes you feel like you are the only one in the room, with a desire to serve you, and make you laugh while doing so. Not to mention she is Gorgeous. You must go to Estelle’s, for 5 star atmosphere & 5 star bartender, Madison!!

Review №56

Was initially taken by the interior decor, but quickly descended into disappointment at their service quality. **WARNING: MANDATORY 20% SERVICE CHARGE REGARDLESS OF PARTY SIZE.**The bartender had poor listening skills and erroneously recommended drinks with tequila when that was clearly called out as a no-go. The drinks were average for the price, and the food even worse in terms of both taste and quantity.Then, he split our tab wrongly. Instead of creating separate tabs for each person as we requested, he purposely split each item by random fractions that added up to $14 over what the total should have been.His coworker didn’t do a very good job helping either, reprinted the separate tabs to still show a wrong total on mine, probably thinking we wouldn’t notice. However, we both ordered 2 cocktails each and I didn’t order any food, whereas my friend did, so we were bewildered by the fact that our totals were the same.The total lack of accountability and attention to detail, along with their mandatory yet undeserving 20% service charge and lackluster attitude, makes this a truly regrettable experience.Will NOT recommend nor return to Estelle’s again.

Service - bad. Arrive at 7, had to wait for a 3rd friend, so we decided to order a sprite and their lady in pink drink (or something in pink). Took 45 mins to get. Upstairs was pretty empty for that time so probably short staffed? After that, took a while to get food ordered and every time they came over to check on us (eventually became a party of 4) they would forget a plate or drink previously ordered. Total bill: $310 for 7 alcoholic drinks, 1 non-alcoholic, and 7 dishes (only the truffle fries (minus the truffle because they ran out) and some chips and dip were actually worth eating). Disappointing.

First off, I opened the door to the mens room and it smelled like a Port A Potty. They have a grate/trough with drains below the urinal which seems to invite men to urinate on the grate/trough but there is no water to rinse what sits in the trough.I gave 2 stars because my wifes Mac and Cheese was quite good. My chicken and waffles was very sub par. Waffles were cold, not even a hint of warm. Chicken kind of soggy. I would rather eat Popeyes at a fraction of the price, sorry guys you dropped the ball.No dessert was offered.....We took it off the menu.Overall very disappointing.

This was a rough experience.The art and design of Estelle’s is beautiful, but that almost all the good that I can say. The menu online and inside featured some amazing seasonal cocktails that you can’t order anymore. The server told us the salmon and couscous was salmon caught in the couscous islands … 😂 service was very slow and our server kept forgetting our order or coming back to ask us what we got. The drinks were very over priced paid $38 for two small margs. And you ARE REQUIRED TO LEAVE A 20% TIP no matter the quality of service. Estelle’s presented itself to be a high quality bar and lounge, but instead it just felt janky. I expected some good music, nope. It was a loud and repeated 2016 hip hop playlist. It was hard to discern the appropriate crowd for this venue. All in all Estelle’s has potential, but they aren’t meeting it.

Really disappointing experience at Estelles recently. My wife and I came in for an after dinner drink because the pictures online looked nice. First off, the place has a certain musty smell and the vibes were just weird. I had to wait for some bartenders to stop having conversations with themselves to be served, and ordered a drink for my wife and and old fashioned for myself.The bartender asked if I wanted Angels Envy in my drink, and I said sure. When I got the bill for *$67* for two drinks, I was shocked. I looked and saw that Angels Envy was $28 + another $8 for making the rest of the old fashioned. I think its shady to ask a customer if they want a very expensive option for their drink without somehow disclosing that they are recommending an expensive option. Safe to say we wont be coming back.

I really recommend this restaurant for dinner. There’s a lot of good things about this restaurant.-It’s spacious, large and great decor- it’s good located- the background music was phenomenal- the quality of the food is a amazing- the staffs were so nice and kindly, specially Adrian who served us throughout. Very professional, knowledgable, but also warm and welcoming, attentive and discreet in equal measure. Am impressive array of people skills..!If you’re looking for a lovely place to have dinner with friends, or with your partner, this is definitely a good place.

Unacceptable Handling of Tip Addition at Table 35.A concerning incident that occurred during our recent visit to Table 35 on January. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by an unauthorized tip addition for bottle service, which has led to considerable inconvenience.Upon examining our credit card statement, we were surprised to discover a charge of $400+. While we were aware of the inclusion of a 20% gratuity, amounting to $2,400, we were astounded to find an additional tip of $422.08 added without our consent. This discrepancy has prompted us to initiate a credit dispute.Regrettably, despite our request for an itemized receipt with signatures to clarify the charges, Manager Nick has failed to provide this crucial document. This lack of communication and transparency in handling the situation is highly disappointing.Our overall experience was positive, yet the mishandling of this situation by Manager Nick has left us with no intention of returning.It is evident that such practices, whether by the staff or management, may not be isolated incidents. We hope this issue will be addressed promptly to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Estelle’s was awesome! Wasn’t sure if it would be over hyped or too trendy since that’s how Austin can be these days, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Design and vibes are amazing, really nice to see how they transformed the old Truluck’s space. Drinks were great though your usual expensive price. Snacks we had were yummy. And our waiter Skylar was fantastic! So fun and friendly, just great service overall. Honestly if the service was bad I probably would have had a very different take on the vibes and price of it all.Loved coming back later that night for the DJ and dance floor. Super fun as a big party dance spot. Great time all around, will definitely be back!

I booked a reservation for a large group three weeks out. I even changed the event date, so that I could host it at Estelles. They cancelled my reservation for just days before the event! So unprofessional and disappointing. Not only did this leave me scrambling to find an alternative venue at the last minute, but it also compromised the entire experience for my guests. Such a lack of consideration and reliability from Estelles has unfortunately tarnished my view of their establishment.

I had an absolutely incredible dining experience at Estelles Restaurant! The Seafood Tower was a true masterpiece, with the freshest selection of seafood that left my taste buds dancing with delight. And lets not forget the Lobster Mac and Cheese – it was a heavenly blend of creamy, cheesy goodness and succulent lobster that had me craving every bite. Our waitress Skyler was top-notch, and the ambiance was perfect for a memorable evening. Estelles is a culinary gem that I cant recommend enough!

Imagine planning MONTHS in advance for your 40th birthday. You gather 11 of your best friends, rent a giant party bus, and you make a reservation at Estelles (the restaurant youve been so thrilled to try)! When you arrive, you and your friends dance off the bus, vibing to Britney Spears, only to be greeted by the RUDEST STAFF IMAGINABLE. They inform you that there is a private event (that you could pay $30 to attend), and that everyone with reservations was notified on Monday (by the way, after searching every spam folder, voicemail, inbox, text and smoke signal... WE HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED)!If youre going to cancel reservations, the LEAST I would expect from a swanky joint like this is a CONFIRMED cancellation. If there was not a confirmation, I would expect a gift card or apology waiting for your giant party of excited humans at the door.But not at Estelles! Nope! NOT EVEN AN APOLOGY. My friend was told she could wait all night but that the manager wouldnt be coming to talk to her and was also gaslit and told No one else has had a problem with this!Twilight Zone level shizz from this place. For the sake of every excited girl on her 40th birthday, EFF THIS PLACE.

It is the cutest place, truly. But it seemed like to me they overlooked quality of food and cocktail selection for a cute atmosphere. I’m glad to have tried it but I won’t be going back.The Estelle burger was really tasty I’ll say! But the cocktail selection seemed lack luster to me, the sauces with the chicken tenders didn’t really taste like anything?It looked like the only place to seat a party >4 was at little stools or low couches around a coffee table which just makes trying to eat dinner feel goofy.The bathroom stall didn’t lock & soap dispensers were all not functioning.Our waitress was great! I wish I could remember her name to mention but she told us we could remember her because she has a little star tattoo on her cheek!All in all, it is adorable, but it just seemed not fully functioning and like the decor is the only draw. Not worth $50+ for a meal here.

Review №122

Food menu is small with simple items like chicken tenders, truffle fries, pita crisps with Hummus like dip, burger etc...but let me tell you we ordered several items and everything was elevated and absolutely delicious! So if youre gonna do it simple you must elevate the average items and make them more fancy and that they did! The lobster Mac and cheese, truffle fries, tenders and the pita crisps were lip smacking delicious! The drinks are also very good and well balanced! The only reason I gave 4 stars was our server was very nice and sweet however our table was neglected. I had to wait literally 20-30 mins for her to come back around! I would wait 25 mins to order a drink and she take another 20 mins to bring it. Our reservation was at 645 it was not busy so that couldnt have been her excuse. The waiter also had some mishap with my tab and another table s tab with the bartender. My tab had got closed out on accident, then items were put on another tab, then I had multiple charges on my card, they had to start a fresh tab and charge again! I was super confused so was the waiter but she assured me the 1st few charges would drop off in a few days bc they credited me back. Well that did happen and everything ended up balancing out but I have to admit I was irritated with her service. My husband and I would have stayed longer for more drinks but after her timing and the tab mishap, we were ready to leave. None the less, Ill probablt come back bc the food and drinks are worth it, will just make sure I get a different server.

I wanted to love this place! I saw a video on it from The Nudge, and they usually never let me down. The space is gorgeous and in a prime location; however, a server never came to take my order despite having a reservation. I waited for maybe 30 minutes, and a server didn’t come. It looked like there was only 1 person servicing all of downstairs, which is way too much for only 1 person. Eventually, my group left to go somewhere else. This place has so much potential, and I hope they can address the staffing issue!

Review №161

My experience at Estelle’s could have been amazing since the place is absolutely gorgeous and our servers were great.In mid celebration, around 11:30 pm, the bouncers kicked out one of our friends for no specific reason, he was simply “a bit drunk”.I’m talking about a not heavy at all super sweet guy. The 3 bounces literally picked him up like a puppet and threw him DOWN the stairs. Yes , he’s drunk ish face hit the ground pretty hard!Not only that!When we questioned the bouncer about the whole situation he did nothing but laughed at us and say “I will pray for you don’t worry….”Who treats people like that!?!?So stay away from the bouncer with a tattooed tear in his face (which tells you that much about the kind of guy he is). Extremely abusive, psychopath who thinks he’s very cool with his new job abusing people but now with a “title” — ‘bouncer’ TadaaaaaI’ve been trying to reach out to a Gm for days but they don’t seem to care at all so I figure at least a review can help people deciding if this is the right place to go….Long story short, they will over serve you and then kick you out in a very physically abusive manner for being over served 🤷🏻‍♀️

Review №167

For this to be a high-end restaurant, our experience was subpar and underwhelming.1) The service is terrible. Took 15 minutes for us to get water, which is served at room temperature. Not to mention, when we first walked in, the hostess was leaning on the counter, back to the door, and was surprised to see us standing there when she finally did turn around. Yes, we had a reservation because one is required. I think they have you do that as part of the mystique because there were so many empty tables.2) very limited menu. I finally decided Ill just order the cheeseburger, but I requested cheddar cheese instead of American cheese that came on it. The waitress finally comes back and says they dont have cheddar cheese. Um, ok, thats a first for me. Ill take the Gouda then. When it was finally brought out, it had American. I just ate it. I wanted our experience there to be done. We did have to ask for our silverware after the food was brought out.The cheeseburger was decent, but I can get a decent cheeseburger anywhere. There was no other red meat option on the menu.3) I asked for a glass of tea. They dont serve tea!! I have never been to any restaurant or fast food place in the South that didnt serve tea. Another first for me.4) for 2 people, they add their own 20% gratuity. Another first5) You will have to park in a parking garage and pay for your own parking.6) If you have 5 ppl in your party, there is a $500 minimum. Oh, if you want to order a bottle of champagne and have someone with a sword pop it open for you, thats $100. We learned all these things while reading, since we had to wait so long.Take my advice, if you want to be blown away with food and service, this is not the place. This place is for people to come in and take an Instagram pic with the decor.Go to some place like Carve for a great meal and service and ambiance. They at least will blow you away with service and food.

Paid $100 for a VIP booth and walked right out. I thought we were getting an upscale dining experience but instead were met with what was basically a kids menu with a few adult items. The drink menu lacked any real variety other than sweet. Our premium VIP booth was located right under an AC vent and freezing cold, sitting next to a DJ booth where the music was so loud that there was no conversation to be had, and the decor looks like grandma went wild at Hobby Lobby with TONS of faded fake flowers. This is not the vibe.

Seems as if the goal was to get up & running to build on the summer hype before testing a menu or doing much staff training. Food was lackluster at best, and the staff either doesn’t care about service or has no idea what is going on.If you serve seafood, particularly oysters, you should know where they come from. If you serve caviar at market price, you should know the market price. All around the food is very try-hard. A burger is a burger- you don’t need to slam 7 things on it and try and fancy it up.Don’t recommend. Head down to a place like Corinne and get good food with good service.

Writing this only so y’all can improve as a new ATX business. Very cute decor and atmosphere; however, my drink was terrible (think go-gurts, 1990s) & half of my table never got service the entire duration of our reservation. We were closed out after ordering one drink and the server never came back around to check on other guests at our table for their order. I also do not understand why two charges are necessary on a CC - one to authorize and the other for my drink, both as I was closing out…hopefully the other charge drops off but seems unnecessary. I really wanted to like this place but can’t say that I’d recommend. Overpriced for the quality of service and quality of cocktail. Hopefully some of the kinks can be worked out.

Review №178

So I’ve been here twice, service has been poor/ subpar both experiences; they are forgetful and take forever to check on you. We were told an upcoming reservation was at our table and we would have to close out and leave our table ( don’t know a lot of places that do this which is weird that they do, but it was stated on the reservation to be fair) so we are waiting forever for our server to bring the check so we can leave. It literally took 3 servers to come by and 20mims to just get a check, that is ridiculous! Although my tra le seems to like the food more, I thought it was overpriced for the quality. Mac and Cheese with lobster was $22, it tasted like a normal Mac and cheese with bland Lobster, Truffle fries were good but I wouldn’t go as far to call them truffle fries, as to them barely using any truffle oil to give of the truffle aromatic, they were essentially just regular fries, little to no truffle oil, Parmesan, and parsley ( I believe). I did like the shrimp cocktail, that was pretty good! Now if there are different reviews on the food taste and quality, then that just tells me that there is inconsistency within their kitchen production, which is worrisome. Now, this really annoys me, don’t come over here wanting to open and call this place a “ Social Club” if your music is SO LOUD that people have to raise their voice to talk, on their website you will read that it is a place where intimate conversation can be made, which is entirely false due to the loud music and they fact that you have to speak loudly ( pretty sure at that point everyone can hear your conversation) if you wanted to go to an upscale looking club where you can sit instead of dance with average- above average food ( depending on what you order) I’d say come here. The attire of the servers definitely does not match the upscale decor, but the bartenders do. I recommend only for the drinks and decor, that’s about it though, quite disappointing experience, aside from the beautiful interior.Ps: when I told the server I was the only o. Who did t have silverware, her response was,“ perfect!” Not sure what’s perfect with no silverware to eat. 😂

Had reservations but opted to sit at the bar downstairs (walk-in area) where they do happy hour 5-6pm. Hostess and bartender were both very friendly and attentive. The happy hour special is underwhelming: $10 well drinks, and the staff comes by every 10-15 minutes with one of two bite-sized apps (we got gougeres & yuzu gelee-topped cucumber slices). Cocktails are not part of happy hour, but I got the Breton Water anyway and it was uniquely delicious and refreshing!

Review №185

We were looking forward to trying this new spot due to the hype on social media. We were greeted with a subtle unpleasant aroma that was reminiscent of sour bar mats. We headed upstairs still optimistic, but the decor felt inauthentic and forced. We couldn’t help but draw comparisons to a faux North Korean prop bar imitating a better version of itself. We ordered the matcha martini and a dirty martini. The matcha martini was served in a glass tinged with the scent of wet dog and fish. We requested a fresh glass, which unfortunately suffered from the same smell. The dirty martini was not correct, they omitted the olive brine and served it with a twist. We awkwardly sat and sipped in the sparsely populated room watching the odd company it kept. We quickly finished our drinks (we felt obligated because they started at $18) and made for the door. Wanted to love it, but this felt like a lifeless imitation of a Miami hotspot attempting to cargo cult their way to $2,000 bottle service. We’ll be reluctant to return, but hope they find an audience in Austin.

If I could give no stars I would. We made reservations a month in advance and they called me the night before saying that they’re “bought out” asked to reschedule for 5pm we said ok. They called again 2 hours before and said it wasn’t possible. We came from out of state and were very excited and made reservations so much in advance. We were left to fend for ourselves basically. It was my sister’s bachelorette and she really wanted to go but I guess not! Very unprofessional.

Beautiful atmosphere day and night ! During happy hour they had the DJ playing beautiful melodic ambiance music and he was walking around playing the saxophone! Genuinely enjoy grabbing drinks and bites here with friends and colleagues.

Skylar provided excellent service at Estelles which is bright, popping, and exuding 80s art vibes. Absolutely recommend for a boozy brunch or evening cockies

Drinks were great, and nice interior. Unfortunately, drinks were not very full for the price and Happy hour was also a joke. They brought around 3 cheese balls throughout the hour with no napkins or toothpicks.

Horrible service and the worst dirty martini(s) I’ve ever had… no exaggeration. How do you mess up a dirty martini… twice (told the bartender that something was off after the first/gave her a second chance). Just another new spot in Austin with decor catering to IG/attention hungry individuals, high prices and low quality.
