Enjoyed a solo dining experience at Esin. Ordered the soup of the day (cauliflower apple with brown butter) didn't taste much of the apples, definitely got hints of the brown butter flavor. Entree was shrimp pasta. Pasta sauce did not amaze me. Ended with pear brown butter tart. Not too sweet. Took a pecan pie slice to go. $11 for a slice is overkill. Overall service was attentive and welcoming. Came before 5pm without reservations. Got crowded at 6pm. Make reservations!
We are fortunate to have this restaurant in our little town. Esin and Curtis are truly passionate about the food and serving their community high quality food. Love the food and we feel like family when we are there.
This place never disappoints. They have maintained their quality over the years and it is always so much fun coming here.
The highlights for me are all the scrumptious desserts!!!

It was good!! I had the risotto and the coconut tart. Not a TON of gf dinner options, but a fair enough variety with many that are also vegan/vegetarian. Lots of gf dessert options. The servers and atmosphere were nice. Servers knowledgeable about celiac.
In terms of service, wow, I’ve never felt so served in my life. We were frequently checked up on, given fresh water, asked if we needed anything. The servers were all friendly and knowledgeable about the menu.
At first glance it's not a particularly welcoming restaurant. Lots of dark wood and somewhat dim lighting, at least in the back section. And the selection of drinks is very classic but tasteful. The Caesar salad was fine. The flatbread appetizer was enough to feed two for dinner and was also fine if a bit of an unusual mix of sweet pear and very sharp blue cheese. The risotto was excellent. Just the right consistency. And the pork chop on sweet potato puree was exquisite. A perfect mix of flavors and perfectly cooked as well. My partner has a French Chardonnay that was just about as bland as it's possible to get I had the Machiavelli Chianti which was interesting but also on the light side. Dessert was a Bailey's cheesecake which my partner who is a cheesecake expert said was fine. A bit bland and with a hazelnut garnish that was not a success.
We came to celebrate my wife birthday. The experience was awesome, food was delicious and looked great. Service was impeccable. The atmosphere was good, conversations going on, but not too loud. They do not have too many options on the menu, which probably explains each dish was prepared close to perfection. Even my daughter, who is the hardest to please, said that her burger "was the best she had ever" (and she has extensive experience when it comes to burgers). All other dishes were super tasty as well, including sides. My wife actually liked risotto even more than her fish, which was pretty good as well. We ordered several desserts to share, and those did not disappoint either. All in all, highly recommended.
I've done 2 birthday dinners and one father's day brunch here. And they all were wonderful experiences. From the delicious baked oyster starter to the indulgent chocolate banana cream tort, everything was great. Favorites this time around were the filo wrapped chicken breast with 3 cheeses and the Spanish octopus. Service was exceptional. Make sure to save room for dessert.
Came here for our anniversary dinner. Even though our reservation was at 5:30 pm, the restaurant was already quite busy. The service and food was excellent. We had the burrata, beet salad, shrimp and scallops rissoto, Mary's 1/2 chicken, and burger. They were all delicious.
The service and food were excellent as it always is. Baked oysters were spectacular and the pork chop was thick and juicy. We also had the wagu burger the steak and Phyllo wrapped chicken. All very good and full of flavor. And the desserts always rock the house.
The menu has so many delicious offerings. The grilled, Jumbo Shrimp, and they, indeed, were jumbo!, Cobb Salad is beautiful and my friend said it was the best she'd ever had.
I had the Petrale Sole with fresh green beans, al dente, and garlic mashed potatoes. Yummy!
Our server was five star.👍😊
I absolutely love the quiet / peaceful ambience.
