Esther's Eatery - Florence, Alabama

Travel with Wendy

I REALLY wanted to love this place like BIG ❤️ love it - healthy options in a sea of unhealthy available locally. Here visiting for a golf and hiking vacation I was thrilled to find Esther’s however, despite the adorable setting in town the service here was just plain, well, not nice.

Arriving later for the lunch I guess around 2pm visibly we were interrupting a wine tasting or something. Annoyed to take our order and although the food was good and flavor was alright you can tell from the pics it wasn’t necessarily fresh. We both ordered the Miso bowls figuring it would be easier mine with tofu, his with steak.

The decor inside was cute and new and fun but I wouldn’t go back bc of the rudeness. Sorry - customers are clients you want to tell 11ppl - I won’t be

The food there is beautifully presented but more importantly, it tastes incredible and it's healthy! I can't wait to go back. The restaurant is small but that gives it a cozy vibe. It's incredibly clean and the ladies who were working were really nice and seemed so pleased my friend and I enjoyed our meal.

Food was delicious and selection is amazing, but it was a little cold. I also got the distinct feeling that my presence was a hassle, even though it wasn't close to closing and no one else was in there. Could have been a bad day, or maybe I came while they were trying to get prep work done. I'd still eat there again, but it may not be your thing if hospitality is important to you.

Nice to see a spot with strong vegetarian/vegan options. I got one of their signature meals and a side of Mac and cheese. Delicious. My only critique is it would be nice to have real silverware for those who are eating in. I was surprised to see a large natural wine selection and lots of prepared foods for take homes. Many people came in for wine and comparing notes with the staff.

As so many reviewers have said, most of the people who work here are snotty cool kids with an attitude. However, the food is quite good so I will continue to eat here but I don't expect Southern hospitality from this restaurant.

What a pleasant surprise to find this place! Tofu was great but the carrot hummus stoled the show! Thank you for great food!

I loved the food. However, I will not be back. It was my first time visiting, and the environment was far from welcoming. I came in for lunch and I felt as though I was not welcomed there, or maybe a burden.
