I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at this restaurant - it exceeded my expectations!Located in the heart of center city, the restaurant boasts a spacious interior with a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it perfect for families, couples, or friends.The menu features classic Greek dishes, and I thoroughly enjoyed everything I tried. The saganaki appetizer was a delightful start, and the moussaka entree was incredibly flavorful.The service was excellent - the staff were attentive and perfectly timed with their service.I will definitely be returning whenever I'm in the mood for Greek cuisine in the city. Oh, and don't forget to check out the spacious and beautiful bathroom too!

One of my favorite restaurants I go to in the city. The quality of the food is amazing and the staff is just great. They are so hospitable, especially this one Greek man that was taking care of me during my birthday. I highly recommend! Great for groups and reservations are quite easy. Not sure how it'll be without a reservation. Definitely try their espresso martini!Food/Drinks: All amazing! I would recommend doing their sample menu if you want to try a bit of everything. However, you'd have to be hungry because it's a ton of food. I had their lobster pasta, roasted chicken, and lamb chops, and they were all delicious. True to the $$$.Ambience: Amazing! Makes you feel like you're in Greece, haha. Great for groups. Can bring a date as well but it's a bit loud.Rating: 9/10Pros: Lamb chopsCons: In middle of city so street parking might be tough. Lot parking available, but can be expensive

Estia is an unbelievably great experience! Our server, Saki and the rest of the staff were beyond helpful and accommodating. We took our daughter and a friend to celebrate her graduation and were very pleasantly pleased from stepping in the restaurant to leaving. Saki, took the time to connect with each of us providing friendship and guidance on how to enjoy their restaurant and our experience to the maximum extent. Make a reservation and then go tuck into great food and a life experience you will not forget.

We had dinner at Estia before the Sting with the Philadelphia Orchestra concert. We started with the Estia chips - fried eggplant & cucumbers which were delicious. My Fiancée had the salmon with the spinach rice, done to perfection. I had the sea bass which was marvelous - moist & tender - served with a tomato based vegetable medley. We topped it off with with the caramel baklava & a scoop of vanilla ice cream - a wonderful treat to cap off the perfect dinner. The only downside was that we had a cramped table. I'm 6'4” and always appreciate some extra leg room. I later found out that we could have requested a specific table with more room when I made the reservation.
Our waiter was excellent, the price Theater Menu starters, entrees and deserts were all wonderful and the cocktail special specials were a pleasant surprise. All in all a great experience!

Food consistently excellent; service was a bit chaotic due to the restaurant being full: our salads arrived before the cocktails and starters we had ordered, entrees came sion after so all felt rushed. Servers were lovely despite the disorganized way good came out, likely due to kitchen not them. Noise level lively/loud so not great for those who are hearing challenged.

Excellent! From food to service to ambience. Although the place is hopping, they don't rush you and the timing of the food is perfect, even on a busy theatre night. We cant wait to go back!
