" Initially, I was excited to try ēst Restaurant, especially after hearing great things about their food. I ordered the crab cakes as an appetizer, and they were incredibly lackluster. The main course, a beef short rib, didn't impress me either. While the atmosphere was charming and cozy, unfortunately, it didn’t distract from the food quality. Perhaps I just came on an off night, but I can't see myself returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" A cozy little gem! We celebrated an anniversary here and the intimate setting made it extra special. Every dish we had tasted fresh and authentic. The octopus was definitely the highlight! While it's slightly on the pricier side, the quality of the food made it worth it. Highly recommend for special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at ēst was a treat! The menu was full of exciting options, and each dish we tried was bursting with flavor. The combination of textures and flavors on the plate were impressive. The service was friendly, but we did experience a bit of a wait time. However, I would urge anyone thinking about visiting to definitely go! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing experience at ēst. While the decor was nice and created a lovely atmosphere, I found the food lacking authenticity. The duck confit I ordered was rather dry and didn't live up to my expectations. Additionally, the portions were quite small for what I paid. Service was decent but not outstanding, as we had to wait a long time to get our bill. I might try this place again as I've heard good things about certain dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited ēst for the first time last weekend and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The truffle grilled cheese was deliciously rich, and the oysters were incredibly fresh. The only issue I faced was the service; while the staff were friendly, they seemed a bit overwhelmed. The atmosphere was charming, reflecting the cozy vibe I was hoping for. I will be back to try more dishes, especially the octopus! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply fantastic! I went to ēst with my family and we had a great time. The appetizers were outstanding, especially the oysters and the charred octopus. The main courses were equally impressive, as everything was fresh and flavorful. The service was attentive and made us feel welcomed. I can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at ēst and it was an enjoyable experience! The starters were relaxed and fun, especially the fried cauliflower. The mains were good but I wished there were larger portions for the price. The service was warm and inviting, always checking in on us. I would love to try their brunch next! " (*Curated Review*)
