• Estela — TOPJAW
  The signature endive salad, running since opening a decade ago, along with scallops with uni and the wagyu steak, impressed with restrained flavors and excellent service.
  Heads up: One of the pricier spots in this guide, and dinner is very crowded — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday lunch are easier to get a table.

  The pull-apart bread was soft and light, making it the highlight of dinner, and her boyfriend loved the French dip.
