Visited Est. for the "March into Merivale" deal for lunch with a friend, main meal and wine for $33. The value is exceptional with the deal for a 3 hat restaurant. The service is superb. The ambience is "very posh", but it's nice to be spoilt occasionally. Our meals were enjoyable as was the NZ pinot noir. Tried to get in for dinner but missed out, understandably.

Dined here during the March Into Merivale promotion, Had the veal & mulloway dishes. Service was excellent, veal was melt in your mouth. The mulloway was quite a small portion but according to my fellow diner she enjoyed it. We ordered a side of mash & it was creamy, silky and smooth! Will definately be back to try the tasting menu's! Value was excellent!

Ater a much anticipated wait, I finally got to experience the hype of est. The 5 star service was a highlight and is the reason I would go again! The food was great and the wine list any wine connoisseur would go gaga over. Wow factor - 5 Star Service. Frown Factor - Steak overcooked.

Booked for a business dinner for 7. We were greeted and seated straight away.
They explained the menu which was a bit hard to follow but all of my guests also found it hard to follow...! Anyhow we decided on the Chef's menu and settled in.

Delicious fresh creamy oysters were a special, followed by a so-so quail breast finished with a delicious Murray Cod. Food was above average yes but was it Quay or the like standard? No. Just lacked something. The service, wine and ambience all but make up for it.

Came here to dine for an event and started at the 6.30 seating I believe. Opted for the degustation menu which was superb, except for my hate of the mini turnips/radishes which seems to turn up at most restaurants plates. The ambience was Ok, we didn't get a window seat. Service was above average and the food was pretty good. Would I return? Yes after I've exhausted other chef hat restaurants.

Had great expectations for est but was very very disappointed the entree was simple no technique needed all and the steak was tough and salad was bland. So overrated! Love the atmosphere and the service was 100%.

Had a very pleasant experience at Est last night as we had a few occasions to celebrate. The service was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. The food was tantalising, full of flavours and textures. We had the four course chef's menu and each course was amazing. The night was made all the more better when finishing off with the passionfruit souffle which is so light, it melts in your mouth instantly after each bite. We left feeling very satisfied!

Fantastic. The restaurant's setting and decorum were impressive, and food was up there with the best I've had the opportunity to taste. Everyone in my group enjoyed the experience thoroughly.
