" Lunch at ēst was an overall pleasant experience. The service was quite good and the atmosphere was just right. The star of our meal was the truffle grilled cheese, which was to die for! I'd definitely recommend this for a casual meal, but be prepared for smaller portions at a higher price. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our meal at ēst was good, but not remarkable. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was attentive, but I felt that the flavors didn’t pop as much as I expected. I had the braised short rib which was fine but not the best I’ve had in the city. I might give it another shot to see if they offer a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had dinner at ēst tonight, and I am still thinking about how delicious everything was! The charred octopus was perfectly cooked, and we followed that with the duck confit which melted in my mouth. The only downside was that it took a while to get our dessert. However, the chocolate espresso martini made waiting all worth it! Cozy atmosphere and friendly service make this a great spot for a date. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for ēst Restaurant based on the reviews, and it did not meet my expectations. The atmosphere was nice, but the food just felt ordinary. I had the beef tartare and it was well prepared, but nothing special. The portion sizes were quite underwhelming for the prices charged. I found myself still hungry after our meal, which isn't great when dining in a fine restaurant. I probably won't return unless it's just for a quick drink. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what an amazing dining experience! We went to ēst for a birthday celebration and it did not disappoint. The service was top-notch, our server was knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. The charred octopus was flavorful, and I tried the beef short rib as well – divine! For dessert, we had the chocolate cake which was just the right amount of sweetness. Couldn’t fault a thing here, I’ll definitely be coming back for my next special occasion. " (*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*)
