Estelle Public House — Restaurant in Grand Blanc

We’ve been talking about trying this place since it opened. When we finally found the time it was pretty disappointing all around. It was seat yourself so we sat on the patio. There were only 2 tables sat inside and 2 outside with servers coming in and out. We got waters and menus after about 5 minutes of sitting down which was great. After that, nobody visited our table again for 20 minutes. That being said, once the server did come over she was very nice. We ordered drinks and apps hoping to order our entrees when she dropped our drinks off. Someone different dropped our drinks off and we didn’t see our server again for another 10 minutes. Not the end of the world what so ever since we ordered apps. The apps were ok. We got the lamp skewers and feta dip. The lamb didn’t have much flavor but we had hope for the entrees. We ordered the smash burger and curry tacos. The lack of flavor in both dishes was shocking. The smash burger was a hamburger but not a true smash burger by definition and lacked seasoning. The curry tacos had a lot of sauce but the sauce has almost no taste. I was expecting some kind of spice with it being curry. It was really just like a scoop of slop put in a folded pita. The drinks were decent and the server was nice whenever she did manage to stop at our table. We ended up asking someone clearing dishes at a nearby table for our bill to make sure we were not waiting forever again. Overall it was just ok. We won’t be back. It was pretty expensive for the experience we came out of there with. Our bill was $140 with tip. Their menu makes you think they’re higher class dishes but they don’t use higher class ingredients and almost no...

This was not just a restaurant, and not just incredible food, but a complete experience. The warm and inviting intimate dining area had nice music playing that allowed for conversation. The wait staff is expert level, and our particular server Jared, was less of a server and more a friend. He learned our names and treated us like family. He was truly special and we can't thank him enough for his attention and care! The food was neatly prepared, and the portions did not disappoint considering the price (which was well worth it) but my God the flavors, and the fresh ingredients were just phenomenal. The Lobster Roll contained an entire lobster, and the Smash Burger was so much more than just another burger. To top off the meal we had a slice of their Keylime pie, which was so smooth, decadent, and melted in your mouth. Such as you would expect from the award winning pastry chef that prepared it! This restaurant is so much more than just a place, and given its location, albeit in a strip mall, it really rather deserves to be a focal point in a downtown area... It may be one of Grand Blanc's best restaurants hands down... I would give it more stars if Google would allow it! Hats off to the owner for bringing together an incredible team, and putting together a simply wonderful...

My husband and I go out a lot and were excited to eat here but the service and food is rough. We were seated and it took a while for someone to come to us once they did it took like 20 minutes to get our drinks. We ordered an entree and an app and it took a long time to come out. The waitress kept apologizing and i understand it’s not her fault but something could of been offered to make up for the long wait. Ordered the scallops and they were so bland the whole plate was bland. We kept waiting for our waitress to stop by to ask for salt but she didn’t stop by for a while so I ended up asking the hostess. The risotto was extremely overcooked and mushy and everything was just bland. Lots of lobster in the risotto which would of been great if it wasn’t rubbery and had some flavor. By the time we got some salt the food was room temp and we weren’t about to wait another 40 minutes for food so we just ate it. The drinks were delicious even though they take a long time to get to your table. Overall I wouldn’t go again I don’t mind paying a decent price for food but it’s gotta be worth it and frankly it definitely wasn’t worth it. Place and food is aesthetically pleasing and pretty but that’s it. For paying $75 for 1 beer, 1 mocktail, 1 app and 1 entree I expected...
