Food: Food is mediocre and overpriced
The menu at Esters offers some charming surprises; the lavender almonds and grilled cheese with ham provide memorable moments. However, the value falls flat, leaving patrons hungry and dissatisfied with the selection, which feels vast yet lacks depth in taste and creativity.
Okay Taste
Some dishes lacked flavor, yet overall dining experiences were often good.

Burrata
Mix of anchovy and celery is enjoyed; no guesswork, true to menu description.
Vibe: Setting that whispers romance
The overall vibe is cozy and chic, perfect for a date night. Its romantic atmosphere blooms in dim light, and the extensive drink selection enhances the experience, though one can't help but notice the sparse crowd, which takes away from the excitement.
Great Comfort
Okay Aesthetic
Atmosphere lovely, but reviews are mixed regarding comfort and music levels.
Perks: Limited perks affect overall enjoyment
While the outdoor patio offers a pleasant escape and is pet-friendly, the limited parking and noise levels detract from the experience. Reservations are tricky due to a less-than-approachable staff, making convenience a gamble.
Great Staff
Okay Outdoor
Outdoor seating pleasant but next to traffic can lessen the experience.
