Heated Pool was refreshing even when outside temp was 60 F. Celebrated our 50/51st Anniversary Stay here. Been coming here since 1976.

Estéban Restaurant - Went here for my bday ...

Went here for my bday weekend dinner and was seated in their back patio, which was really cute. The weather was mild so it was a great time to be outside enjoying the warm sun. Everything we tried was amazing so I highly recommend the bravas potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and the chicken paella. They also have a veggie paella option so check that out! We also had their red sangrias which was refreshing! Definitely worth checking this place out and the food portions were huge for a tapas food place! The service was prompt and friendly as well!

Estéban Restaurant - My boyfriend took me ...

My boyfriend took me out for my birthday and we sat inside. It was a Thursday and pretty quiet, which was a good atmosphere to have a conversation. Our waitress, Lisdel, ensured our service was exceptional. We started out with the Kumamoto Oysters and Pulpo Frito (Spanish octopus) - both delicious. The oysters can with a glass dropper bottle containing their house-made hot sauce. For our main courses, I had the Ora King Salmon (with preserved lemon risotto, mascarpone, mustard greens, green garlic pesto) and my friend had the Flannery Beef Prime Ribeye (12oz dry-aged prime ribeye, foraged mushrooms risotto, braised broccoli leaves, roasted bone marrow butter), which were cooked perfectly. We ended with the Crèma Catalana (like creme brulee) The bus boy had taken the our appetizer plates, but left the silverware we used. Our waitress promptly replaced it with clean silverware. Chef Calvin was a friend of my date, so the chef came out to wish me a happy birthday - which was very nice
