Estia is one of our favorites when dining in the city... The service, ambience and food are all outstanding!!

We had the pre-theater dinners. Everything was delicious and we all enjoyed our meals. I definitely recommend this restaurant, especially when going to the theater across the street.
Connie
We had a great dinner at Estia. Ordered halibut and moussaka, both flavorful and delicious. Excellent wines. Noisy and a bit pricey, but we would go back and recommend it!

The food at Estia is outstanding! Everything was delicious, and the presentation was excellent! Service was prompt and efficient. It was much appreciated that they offered a pre-theater dinner option of 3 courses for a reasonable price. We would definitely return to enjoy the amazing food!

Our waitress was beyond unprofessional. She completely ignored our table of 2. Cocktails were received 45min AFTER we were seated and just a minute prior our main course arrival. We saw her 2 times prior dropping our check (she introduced herself after someone else took our order while bringing cocktails and asked how our dinner at the moment (!) when other person brought main course (she was talking to the guests at the table next to us so she only had to turn 90 degrees). That's it! Our requests were disregarded which made my friend extremely uncomfortable and upset to the point that we had to go straight home skipping the broadway show! Very disappointing!!!!

I have eaten at this restaurant many many times and have brought groups as well pharma doctors and financial high wealth crowd I'll get to the point The waiter Robert to me not to order the Dorada that it was farm raised tilapia he along with the bus boy kept taking off plates of food my wife and I did not finish I requested the check and was given on with incorrect add ons that I feel is a primal issue and should be reported to the Phila board I asked for the manager who didn't want to hear my issues I told him my name paid the bill and I can assure you I won't be back I'm wondering how you would feel in my position as now I'm retired and this is also a case of elder abuse

Delicious dinner! Pleased to see the theater menu remains and my favorites are still there. The lamb dishes are amazing.
Linda
My favorite restaurant! Wonderful ambience, elegant, comfortable, cozy decor transports you to another world, very attentive service, phenomenal food!! It is pricey but worth the splurge. Best halibut I've ever had. Lamb chops were superb and plentiful. Shrimp outstanding. My favorite Estia chips--thin sliced zucchini, lightly dusted and fried (?)--were not as crisp a they normally are, but still tasty. The Greek cheesecake was amazing! Baklava delicious. Made for a wonderful family birthday celebration!

Estia should be on every list of top restaurants in Philadelphia. Superb, food, atmosphere and service.
Really enjoyed our meal. Good food and service. Perfect before going to the Kimmel Center. A bit noisy (probably our seat and who was around us). Definitely plan to go back and recommend.
Diane
Always great food. Not loud like other restaurants. Very cozy. It took a while to get the check and we told the server we were headed to the theater. Just about made it in time
Barbara
The staff, especially Rich, were extremely polite. Food was delicious and atmosphere was fantastic. We arrived early before a show and it was nice and quiet however once the dining room filled it was quite loud. I believe there are other parts of the restaurant that could be quieter so request that if important.

We took a vegetarian friend to dinner at Estia; she found plenty on the menu to satisfy her. I can report that the sakanaki is very good; the roasted vegetables side dish a lovely complement. The person eating the moussaka practically licked the plate; nothing remained of the stuffed eggplant. Service was all that could be requested, and we were not at all rushed, even when we lingered at the end of our meal. One benefit of Estia: it's a large establishment, so it's less difficult to get a last-minute reservation there than at other Center City establishments.

Great overall experience - service and food were outstanding... From the flaming cheese saganaki and horitatiki salad to the lobster linguine, swordfish souvlaki and lamb shank, our meal was outstanding. We wished we would have saved room for dessert.
