Beste brunchrestaurants in Downtown Crossing

Estella was wonderful. My wife and I are foodies and in Boston for a conference. We were looking for something unique and comfortable. Estella offered a twist on traditional flavors that was wonderful. We started with drinks. The seasonal blueberry harvest was a delicious gin cocktail that was a perfect balance of sweet sweet and herbaceous deliciousness of gin. My better half had a Nearest to Me which was a delicious whisky shaken with lemon and ginger ale. We ordered the Parm garlic yucca fries with their delicious aioli…and I could’ve eaten another plate. For our meals I had the blackened salmon tacos. The flavors were delicious. The salmon was cooked well and the banana peppers and aioli balanced each other while the crispy onions added a welcome crunch to the lettuce wrapped tacos. My wife had the Shorty and Mash. My god was that a delish bite. The short rib was fall off the bone tender on top of delicious buttery mash. The sauce was a mustard and vinegar base and was unexpectedly delicious cutting through the richness of the beef. The toffee cake was a shared dessert to end the night. Service was attentive and friendly from both our server and management. It was loud but not off-putting and its always great when you leave a restaurant happy with what you had but eager to experience other flavors on the menu.

Elegant atmosphere, quiet noise level, excellent drinks, delicious food, attentive and good service. Nothing not to love!

First visit here and definitely won't be our last. Fantastic food and fantastic drinks. Everything from the appetizers through to the Baked Alaska was absolutely delish! But what really made our night was our server, Jonathan M. His enthusiasm for the menu was spectacular. He had great recommendations and truly knew everything about every dish or drink. He brought us a few things to try that we didn't even order and he was not wrong about how good they were (the glazed carrots for example...chef's kiss!!). He even sold us on what sounds like a fantastic weekend brunch so we will be back for that without a doubt!!

Picked a place for brunch near the Theatre and on open table. Once again we were not disappointed. I really liked the menu. The food was great and certainly plenty. We will come back again.

My friends and I had a wonderful experience. The restaurant was quiet, the waitstaff was attentive and friendly and the food was not only delicious; but beautifully presented. What more could one ask for when dining out?
