    Everything was excellent. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were outstanding. Only downside is I think the bar itself has seen better days. Needs an update.very worn looking.

    Theatre menu has a great variety for all tastes. My favorite was spanakopita, three fat lamb chops and baklava. My friend had a seafood dish and lemon sorbet. Both of us were happy. Will go next time I’m visiting Academy of Music.

    We loved everything about our visit to Estia. Food choices are numerous - we had drinks, the Estia chips, grilled octopus, Tispoura and spinach and rice - all fantastic. We had baklava with coffee for desert. Our meal and service were outstanding. Miguel was our waiter - and we only hope you he'll be your server, too - he helped with the menu, was attentive, did not rush us, and paced our meal perfectly - thank you. Our experience could not have been better.

    What an extraordinary evening! A beautiful space, excellent service, and wonderful food. The appetizers are terrific especially the fried eggplant and zucchini chips. The lamb chops and Dover sole were amazing. All the fish was excellent. Can’t wait to visit again.

    Love the pre theater menu. Food is delicious. Service was prompt. But once food was delivered no one checked back. I really wanted some pepper on my Romain salad. Thursday night was very busy so the noise level was high. I will return.

    As usual: Outstanding. Great combination of location, food, prep & presentation quality, and dining ambience. Also a pretty good value for high quality center city dining. A little noisy (for quiet couples dining) at peak times, but otherwise convivial & acceptable.

    First time I’ve ever sent back a dish and if you choose to look I’ve been a regular customer for as long as you’ve been Estia The salmon tartare was so salty it was inedible. Of course we were able to order another dish….grilled octopus which was delicious. A comment to the chef might be in order

    Food was wonderful. Since we were attending a play my 2 companions did the theater menu. I'm not sure if the portions are smaller than the regular menu, but they still seemed hungry. I ordered off the reg menu but my choice was a different food choice than there's. The only flaw in the service was the waiter didn't ask if we would like more bread. Otherwise it was great.

    Fagri was the tastiest fish we’ve had this side of the Mediterranean! We also had the octopus to start and potatoes + wild greens on the side. Server was so helpful and attentive and helped me choose a delicious Greek white wine to pair with our meal. Can’t wait to return!

    Waiter pressured us to eat fast to turn over table. Rushed us from time we ordered and pushed us to leave before we were ready. Brought 1 person the wrong entree (she ate it anyway). 2 out of 4 of us were dissatisfied with the food, considered it mediocre. Will not return soon.
