"While I've dined a Estia quite a few times before, we were placed at a table next to a large party of men who were so loud we could barely hear ourselves talk. As a business woman, this made the visit less enjoyable. The food was awesome and service okay. I will return but will watch where I'm seated."

"Enjoyed a delicious 2-course lunch for $17. Several selections were offered for each course. For the first course chose the spanakopita, a traditional Greek spinach pie with melted leeks, scallions, spinach, dill, parsley, and feta cheese baked in phyllo. The second course chosen was the moussaka, a traditional Greek casserole layered with seasoned ground beef, sliced
eggplant, potatoes and topped with a Kefalograviera béchamel. Both dishes were nicely prepared and very tasty. Delicious Greek bread served with a dip preceded the meal. Efficient service was provided by Brenna and her assistants."

"I am a return diner. This time I enjoyed an early dinner on Mother's Day with my wife, kids, and in-laws. Consistent with other visits, the food was outstanding! We all enjoyed seafood selections. The hostess and wait staff were very friendly, service oriented, and prompt. Great model for restaurants."

"Had dinner here the other night before the Philly Pops. Traffic made us late, but they held our table for us. Had the $30 prix fixe, and it's really a good value. Had lamb shank - outstanding! Our friendly and knowledgeable waiter paced the meal very well, and we arrived well in time for the concert."

"No one cooks seafood like Estia. Emphasis is on fresh and simply prepared. We have been there many times. The service is as good or better than any restaurant in town. The $30 pre-theater special is a great deal--three courses, generous portions, diverse choices, and is even available later in the evening. Whole fish entrees are expensive and priced by the pound, but the quality and freshness is consistent."

"I was introduced to Estia by a Greek friend of mine a few years ago, and now make it a point to dine here whenever I am in Philly (I live in Virginia). The food is wonderful, lots of seafood options. Very fresh and cooked to please. Wine list is solid but not extensive, focus is definitely on authentic food with some modern updates. I highly recommend Estia for small parties as well as larger ones. 5 stars!!!"

"Since Mediterranean diets are all the rage, Estia is the place to go. The diet conscious can choose from the extensive fresh fish selections. Personally, the lamb is to die for. An added treat is the grilled pita served with hummus."

"The food and ambiance are always great! We went to celebrate an early mother's day. Our waiter was not friendly and seemed annoyed that he was even at work. My husband and I are both in the service industry so have no tolerance for this. It is not the first time the service was not great. We go back because of the first 2 things mentioned but are reconsidering for the future."

"Being adjacent to the Academy of Music and in walking distance from multiple theater venues, Estia is the perfect spot for pre- and post-theater drinking and dining. The $30 prix fixe theater menu is a real plus. Wait staff was well-versed in the wines and entrees. The vegetarian in our party found numerous choices. The food of Greece, beautifully prepared and presented, like dining along the Mediterranean."

"We have eaten at Estia 3 or 4 times, before Philadelphia Orchestra concerts. Service is excellent as well as the food. There is a lovely decor. The conversation levels do get a bit loud when the restaurant is full. We ate up on the balcony this visit and it really helped keep the noise level down. They so have sidewalk tables, although that would never be our preference."

"This is the best Greek food in the city. My wife and I have dined here many, many times over the years, and the "Greek" ambiance has always been excellent. Tonight was no exception..from the live Greek music, to the best selection of Greek island wines, to the pick your own authentic Greek fish, this place never disappoints. Sometimes a bit noisy and pricey, but absolutely worth the experience..."

"Loved it for second visit on this 3-day trip to Philly - first for romantic dinner - second for lunch with daughter's in-laws. Excellent on both occasions!"

"The service was terrible. It took forever to get our drinks. The waitperson had trouble getting our order straight. The food didn't come for a long time. They said they had a large party downstairs. Not good."

"We arrived to a very busy scene, pre theater diners were numerous, live music playing in the entry/bar area, and we were kindly seated even though we were early for reservation. Waiter, Ryan, was very attentive but the food runners' delivery of plates was hurried and careless. Food was tasty, fish nicely prepared."

"It was noisy and we dined early in the evening before the music started. The lighting was too low to read the menu easily. The price-fixed menu was a good value. The food was very good."

"Had a great meal at Estia before our Phila. Orch. concert. They have a knack for servising promptly, but not rushing you, so that people can get to their events on time. The pre-theatre menu of 3 courses for $30 is a bargain and their fish dishes are excellent."

"I have visited Estia regularly since its opening, and while the food continues to be delicious, the portions continue to shrink while the prices rise. I was particularly disappointed with the Horiatiki Salata which is usually a generous portion ripe for sharing. The serving size seemed significantly smaller, and there was only a smattering of cucumbers when typically, they are a prominent component of the salad. All in all, the food was good, but, including tip, close the $30/person for a lunch that was comprised of a few shared appetizers (and Horiatiki Salata), one shared dessert and no alcohol. Fortunately there are more options in the city for wonderful Greek food at a more reasonable cost."

"Too big a place with second tier food and mediocre service. Location for pre-concert meal is its greatest strength. Over-priced for quality and experience."

"Great for the pre-theatre crowd. Food arrives quickly and the restaurant can accommodate larger parties. I think it's over-priced for Greek food though and the service has been hit or miss for us."
