"I was a bit disappointed with the experience at Estela a place I had heard great things about. The cuisine is not cohesive in any way, from what I could tell… a bit too “New American” perhaps. The dishes are meant to be shared; however, each small dish costs anywhere from approximately $20 $40. They recommend you order around 7 items for a group of four. Granted there are only about 12 items on this particular brunch lunch menu, so it almost seemed as if we needed to order one of each dish to be full. I do not recommend the crab dish, I forgot to take a photograph of it because I was deterred by the sight of it. It was very very fishy to taste, you could even smell it. The best dish was the mushroom dumplings and the arroz with squid. However, for the tiny portion sizes and the cost, I am not sure if the flavor was that impressive. The chicken entree was so strange. Two small pieces of chicken that tasted so regular. Some orange type of purée and squash. The restaurant itself was cute small and quaint. The service was good, normal not above and beyond or anything memorable. Perhaps the dinner would be a better option for people who have booked reservations far in advance and are looking forward to the meal because unfortunately I was not very satisfied with the brunch lunch experience."
