Estrella is described as a stylish downtown Montreal spot that blends refined dining with lively comedy, where guests often note warm, attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere that makes the evening feel effortless. The show is a major draw and the ambience, terrace, and cocktails add to the overall appeal. Food is mixed in the feedback, with some dishes praised for flavor and presentation while others are critiqued for small portions or inconsistency and higher prices. Many reviews encourage enjoying the comedy and the overall experience, even if the dinner itself may not always meet every expectation, and several say they would return for the entertainment and hospitality. Overall the impression is that Estrella is becoming a go to destination for a night out that combines dining and entertainment, with strong hospitality and a memorable vibe that stands out in Montreal.
Absolutely amazing experience, I'm not one to laugh out loud, after one show my cheeks hurt. Great atmosphere & hilarious comedians. Highly recommended

First time here for a comedy show on a first date. Love the drinks & the comedy show & I got roasted & the ambiance is nice for a first time here. Will be back now that i know my comedians are here
Been there for the first time. Nice bar, small stage. Tables too close to the stage. Problems with ventilation, had a weird odour.
Some of comedians were good, some may even make you feel'special', not in the good way.
Edit: Definitely, the format is not for me.
If you are ok to be humiliated in front of people - try it.
PC: During the show I was repeatedly singled out & called'autistic' &'special' because I wasn't reacting like others. That crossed a line for me. Audience participation should feel voluntary, not forced.
I had an amazing experience at Estrella, & a huge part of that was thanks to Josalyn.
From the moment we were seated, she brought such warm energy, professionalism, & genuine care to our table. Josalyn is the kind of server who makes you feel truly welcome, not rushed, not overlooked - just perfectly taken care of. Her attention to detail, timing, & recommendations were spot on, & she made the entire experience feel effortless.
Beyond being incredibly attentive, she has such a beautiful personality. Friendly, kind, confident, & thoughtful - she elevated the whole evening. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, & it shows in every interaction. It's rare to come across service that feels this natural & sincere.
Management should know that Josalyn is a true asset to your team. She represents Estrella beautifully & deserves recognition for the level of hospitality she delivers. Servers like her are what turn a good restaurant into a memorable experience.
Highly recommend Estrella - & if you're lucky enough to be served by Josalyn, you're in great hands.
An exceptional experience in downtown Montreal. Refined cuisine, impeccable service, & an elegant atmosphere enhanced by outstanding live comedy. A truly elevated dining & entertainment destination.

The food was amateur at best. & very overpriced. Small portions. & had to wait for one hour 🙄 37$ for teriyaki chicken. 2 small pieces of chicken & one bone with a bite of meat. But the reason we were there was the show. The comics were great 👍 👌 😄 go for the show. But stay away from the food. Eat at Macdonalds. You will be more Impressed with your food. Our waitress was very amazing. She saved the night. Hard to do with what she had to work with. 😪
Go for the comedy, not the food. We were 2 on a Wed night. I ordered steak-frites which would have been good but suffered from DCS - distracted chef syndrome. They obviously left one side on the grill too long & charred it. If course, it was served charred side down. No comp offered. My companion ordered the karaaje chicken which lacked mango &/or papaya flavours. Service was very good. About 2/3rds of the comics were funny enough & the host was excellent. Avoid for food, go for the show.
