    All the tastes were great. We loved grilled fagria fish. Salads and mezes were really good. Service can be better.

    Estia was an amazing choice for the Mediterranean food lover. They offered an amazing menu with choices -- for the theater attendees, for those who might want a set-menu, and then those who like the flexibility of a full-menu. Our group had a mix of set-menu and full-menu orders. The portion sizes were moderate on the set-menu and very large on the full-menu. The Octopus appetizer was spectacular, Greek salads were extra large (and sharable - good to know for our next visit), and entrees were all amazing (lamb, salmon, chicken, moussaka). We had a great time, the food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and the noise level (on a Friday night) was loud/energetic! We would absolutely return!

    This is a wonderful restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious. The prix fixe has great options Their octopus is the best around - tender and flavorful. We have eaten here many times and are never disappointed. All the staff is gracious. Our waiter, Miguel, was outstanding. Explained the restaurant week menu and helped us with wine choices -spot on! A great place any time but a great location before a show

    What a beautiful restaurant! We had dinner here for a friend's birthday and couldn't have been happier. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. The cheesecake was to die for! Not too rich or overly sweet---just right.

    Because I am deaf in one ear, I always request a quiet table, even if it's a noisy restaurant, as most of them are. Estia put us in a booth and it worked great! I could hear each of my dinner companions without a problem--we were a part of 4. As usual, the octopus (first course) was wonderful; the lamb chops are simply the best; and the baklava was perfect--not too sweet. Although it took us 90 minutes to get there, we will make that trip again because Estia (in the city) is our favorite restaurant.

    Excellent ambiance. The entire restaurant is beautiful. Excellent service every time I eat at Estia. The menu selections are so tempting it's hard to choose. The Restaurant Week menu was delucious, though I was disappointed with dessert. It didn't matter because the first courses were so generous, I wasn't very hungry for dessert.

    Overall this place was absolutely beautiful. My boyfriend and I do a date night once a month and we have had plenty of recommendations about this place. We have been dying to try it and finally had the time. The food was absolutely amazing and everything was a 10/10. The atmosphere in general was just beautiful. The decor was something I noticed right away and I instantly fell in love. The service was also so genuine and we felt so welcomed. The menu was easy to follow and even when we had questions, they were answered instantly. We will definitely be going back because it has easily become our new favorite spot.

    The food was very good. Hostess seating us was distracted, seemed uninterested. An attempt was made to clear a plate before I was finished eating. It was loud, particularly one table with a man shouting when talking and a woman cackling loudly.

    Had a pre-show meal here, and the food was incredible, the staff was attentive (asking before we ordered drinks if we had tickets to the show), and the decor was intimate. It was loud, but mainly because of the great atmosphere and food...everyone was thoroughly enjoying themselves. Already looking forward to our next trip back.

    Good food, if overpriced. Unfortunately, after explicitly requesting that all of our remaining food be boxed up, the restaurant forgot to include around half of our leftovers in the takeout bag. Disappointing for such an expensive restaurant. It soured an otherwise fair experience.
