  Despite the miscommunication when I called yesterday, asking if Reservations were required for a 4:00 dinner, I'm really glad that I went there today for my 59th birthday dinner.
  
  When I arrived at the address, at first, I was I unable to find the place because there is no sign. And, even though other reviews have said, it's located in the old library, this doesn't help out of town visitors.
  
  And, when I saw the sign for the Starpointe Residents Club, Residents and Guests Only, I thought for sure that I was in the wrong place.
  
  But, after asking 2 different people (1 lady outside, and 1 lady at the concierge desk), I finally found the place.
  
  So, yes. The Lakeside Grill, Estrella, is located inside.
  
  When, I got there, the Hostess, and my Wairess, Jackie, was very helpful, as all they had out were the Brunch, an Lunch menus.
  
  Because I had gotten there a few minutes before 4:00, and already had my dinner planned, the Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and, the Baked Potatoes, were not quite ready. Also, it was too early in the season for Summer Squash.
  
  To be honest, I was tempted to leave, but luckily, the Fillet Mignon was available. 8-) So, I carried on.
  
  I ordered the Petite Fillet Mignon, Medium Rare, with Garlic Herb Butter, Parmesan & Herb Risotto and a glass of Cabernet (unlike most restaurants, this place does not have a house wine. But, all the wines on the list are available by the Glass 8-) ).
  
  Service was excellent. Jackie was friendly, yet courteous and professional. I think she felt bad about the miscommunication.
  
  Despite the fact that the Fillet was overcooked (ordered Medium-Rare, got it Medium), it was still melt in your mouth tender. So, unlike some people I know,  that doesn't effect my rating for them. As a matter of fact, it stayed warm throughout the meal, whereas medium-rare cools off a bit too soon.
  
  And, to the best of my recollection, this Fillet Mignon, was the best that I've had in years. If not, ever!
  
  And, despite road construction on Litchfield Rd (3 lanes to 1, before the freeway) and Estrella Parkway, and the traffic, this place is well worth the battle to get there.
  
  I'll definitely be back.

  My favorite brunch, lunch, dinner and drinks spot!! So close-by and never a line or wait. The food is amazing and definitely worth the higher price at dinner (don't leave without trying the French fries!). Brunch and lunch are lower priced and absolutely amazing!! Perfect to dine in and hit the pool after. Perfect for kids, date night, or girls night out! I come here at least 3 times a week, Jackie is an amazing waitress, always remembers my order and accommodates any special requests I have when I'm feeling extra. Jason and Brenda are also great at getting my order out timely and exactly how I want. Come see for yourself and enjoy the locally-sourced quisine. This is everything I've ever wanted in a local and quality restaurant! Love you guys!!!!!

  The food was freshly prepared, and the waitress was incredible. This will be the official "go-to breakfast place" for me and my family. Everything was incredibly delicious. From the sourdough toasts to the hash browns and pancakes, as well as the bacon and sausage - everything was exceptional. I never had an omelette so good. This is definitely the brunch spot for Sunday. Make sure you put the strawberry jam on your toast; you will not be disappointed.
