Estia

This was our seventh or eighth time at Estia and it’s become our favorite place in the city for dinner out. We’re always able to get a reservation a couple days out as it’s a very large place. Service is always excellent. And the food is amazing! Moussaka, octopus, and baclava theater meme is my go to. My wife chooses the lamb, Greek salad, and walnut cake, which is always also great. We’ve brought people here for business dinners and brought family from out of town - everyone always loves it. I don’t think my photos do this place or its food justice - it was all excellent.

The food, the service, atmosphere, five stars! One of the best also for pre-concert meals. Had the grilled octopus and jumbo shrimp for appetizer. Both cooked to perfection. Four large shrimp. Main course was the fish special, grilled branzino and grilled salmon. Salmon was cooked perfectly, slightly crunchy on the outside. Dessert was of course, baklava! Soo good!

Went for dinner after a show and ordered from the $40 "Theater Menu" selections. Had the Roasted Chicken as my entree. I’ve never "yum yummed" for chicken before! Huge portion and the flavor was incredible. My companion had the grilled shrimp and enjoyed her meal just as much. Apps and dessert also very good. Our waiter, Corey, was attentive and timely without being intrusive. Highly recommend, and being across the street from the theater is a bonus!

We stayed in Philly for a sisters' weekend, had comedy show tickets and shopped. This was the perfect place for a special dinner to celebrate. The size & layout of the place was comfortable and didn't feel too small or too big. The atmosphere, decor and high level of service made the evening a smooth and relaxing experience. Every dish had that extra something that took it one step beyond good or great and made it amazing.

I have not dined at many Greek/Mediterranean restaurants, but what I do know is that I will be comparing them all to Estia. I have dined here on several occasions (3x), all during Restaurant Week. I can say without a doubt that I highly recommend the dishes in the following pics. Go, enjoy the ambiance, the incredible wait staff (shout out to Javier from my visit on 9/22), and the amazing food.
