Esty Street

First time trying Esty. We were greeted by a very friendly host and taken to our table. Our table was extremely close to the next table - it felt like we were all seated together. .we were then given a drinks menu. We ordered drinks, and waited a while before they arrived. The waiter then went through the specials. We could not tell anything he said as he spoke very fast, and was trying to speak quietly due to the nearness to the people on next table. After asking him to repeat items, we still could not understand so we ordered from the menu. The starter and main were very good. Presentation was impressive. We finally got our check and noted some of the items were higher than what was listed on the menu. Food was decent but unlikely we’d go back due to the set up of the tables, and it seemed over priced - for what you get. The drinks were paricularly small.

Food is good, I’ve eaten here before, and it used to be better. Service was great, our waiter, Simeon, was really good. The biggest issue was when I got the bill and found out I’m paying $300 for dinner for 2, because ONE appetizer cost $125. Next time please tell me when you read the specials that this one costs $125. This made the whole experience much less enjoyable. I called the restaurant and the manager promised a $50 gift certificate as a compensation, took my address and guess what - nothing came….

GO IF YOU DON’T WANT TO EAT AND GET HORRIBLE SERVICE! - It took 49 years, but I can honestly say, I had the worst dining experience of my life. We were celebrating my 49th Bday and I invited a few family and friends to this occasion. Reservations was for 7pm. From 7pm to 10pm, we got no food! Yep… they were completely understaffed. Every time we would try to get someone’s attention to take our order, the waiter would run away and try to handle another tables order. The manager was rude and didn’t want to speak to us to handle the situation. We wind up paying for the drinks and leaving hungry. After 3 hours of waiting for food to come out, I think us leaving is more than fair. JUST HORRIBLE!

What a disappointment. We arrived for our reservation at 630pm and stood by the hostess desk for 5 minutes until we were greeted by a very personable and polite man. After being sat and handed a huge drink menu our waiter came over, about 15 minutes after we sat down. We ordered drinks, a martini and a glass of wine, and then waited 30 MINUTES before saying anything … at this point we had still not received our drinks or menus and our waiter had not stopped by at all. Another 15 minutes passed before the waiter came with drinks, menus and of course an apology. After receiving the menus we AGAIN WAITED, finally we ordered and waited AGAIN! I don’t mean a 5 or 10 minute wait. I mean a 20-30 minute wait each time! Let’s get to the food, there were people who walked around and asked if you’d like bread, great I love bread and since we’ve been waiting YES PLEASE. Well some pieces were cold and hard and others were warm and soft, my boyfriend was lucky enough to get a warm one, mine was cold and hard, of course. We ordered lobster medallions as an appetizer. They were so over cooked, rubbery and hard to chew. Awful. For dinner I had the lamb which was a special and it was great (honestly the only reason I’m giving this place 2 stars). My boyfriend had the “16oz” filet mignon, they leave out that 12oz of this filet are the bone. It was the smallest amount of meat I’ve ever seen served for 60$ as a filet mignon. After dinner we WAITED AGAIN to ordered dessert. By the way, this was our anniversary dinner and when the reservation was made it was specifically noted to write happy anniversary on our dessert. Which they said “no problem, we do all that all the time” After waiting another 45 minutes for our dessert to arrive … there was no happy anniversary written and again an apology from the server. We ordered a vanilla bean cheese cake that wasn’t very good and a chocolate lava cake. I assume that because the desserts were sitting there for so long the chocolate inside the lava cake became solid again OR they just took it out of the fridge because it was cold and had no lava !! Just a terrible experience. Oh and it wasn’t just us! The table next to us was served a tomahawk steak that they were sharing and waited 25 minutes after the food was served to receive plates and utensils. We were at dinner for three hours …
