Dinner is served (again) at Cafe Estelle
Those of us who lamented Cafe Estelle (444 N. Fourth St.) discontinuing dinner service, the p.m. potatoes to its brisk brunch meat, a few years back have reason to smile today. Chef/owner Marshall Green (above) is starting supper for the second time, making good on a long-ago promise. Devotees won't be able to pop in every evening, though; Green is doing dinner but once a month, promptly at 7 p.m. Tasting menu only, communal seating only. Twenty-five guests tops, so get those phones ready (215-925-5080). Consider this advance notice on the next two dates: April 25 ($70) and May 23 ($80). Check out the menus after the jump. Want. Foie/rhubarb. Duo. Now.
