    Been there before but the food this time was unimpressive. Very garlicky unnecessarily. Limited menu. Service was good. Pricing was disproportional.

    This restaurant is beautifully designed. It feels relaxing and is so worth the trip. The food is so delicious. We had the calamari and the lamb. They were both outstanding. The salad was so fresh with a light delicious dressing. Absolutely everything was so good and the service was excellent! The dessert was incredible.

    The food, the ambiance and the service was top notch. Will definitely be back. The best spot for a date night or any other evening where you want to have incredible food while being able to have a conversation without straining. Kibbeh balls and the Turkish Spoon salad is dynamite.

    Awesome attentive service with wonderfully presented food. We had an early reservation at 5, arriving 10 minutes before opening and they provided us with complimentary cocktails because they weren’t ready for us! Kelly was an amazing server. Loved our experience!

    The restaurant is lovely. They gave us a quiet table as we had requested. The welcome was professional. The meal was delicious. Our only constructive suggestion to enhance the outstanding dining experience is that the kitchen enhance the main course dishes in their visual appeal. Estia is a splendid restaurant, one we have visited before and will return to soon.

    The food never disappoints here. Inventive and so flavourful. The service is attentive and discreet. It has been one of our favourites in the City since it opened. Being the Holiday Season, large parties were in abundance and added to the overall noise but this was atypical and well controlled by the staff. We had a fabulous experience as always.

    Food was very good. We went for the fish which was excellent, but it came at a price and a few in the party went too Bucca for pizza immediately after they walked out given what we ordered wasn't sufficient to feed our group of 6 people, but for $100 person (approx $200 a couple w/ 2 drinks), no one should've left hungry!

    We were at Estia on the evening of Nov 16- celebrating 3 birthdays . This evening was by far one of the worst experiences in terms of service we have encountered in the city. The server was completely inattentive/ inexperienced and we had to continually ask for our food orders and drinks. The main course came out for everyone at different times and no side dishes were served. We mentioned this and waited another 20 minutes & still did not receive our side dishes. Reviewed this with the server who seemed indifferent and then followed up the manager. We sent back our main courses (Which were cold at that point ) and this was the only item that was removed from our bill . There was zero effort to improve our negative dining experience. The manager noted he would reach out to us afterwards and to this day we have still not heard back from anyone from management.

    I heard a lot about this restaurant and expected a lot more given location and the buzz and vibe about it, so booked it for my sons’ birthday celebration. but was disappointed. The food wasn’t good or anything special and in my opinion way overpriced. I have been and continue to go to expensive places but this one was not worth it and I certainly wouldn’t go back. Additionally on a Saturday night early booking, they didn’t have 3 of their daily specials and two of their wines from the limited wine offerings!

    Way overpriced! Place is popular, but can’t be for the food! There are 3 things I wanted from the menu online. None was available! Not the tartare appetizer, not the lamb shoulder and not the green lentil side! Food quality was ok, but it wasn’t fine dining. I could have done as well in Greektown for a third of the price! Wine was good. Such an alluring concept of Ottoman cuisine. Not even Turkish tea available! Big letdown!

    Estia has great food and nice ambiance. However, this time I was very disappointed that they forgot to bring candles with the dessert as I've called them before to add a note to my reservation that we were coming to celebrate my partner's birthday. It's really unfortunate that they didn't pay attention to this and it ended up being a regular night for us. I won't go there again for a special occasion.

    Estia is a treat! The menu has something for everyone and is thoughtfully structured. It's one of those restaurants that you should explore with at least one friend and work your way through a selection of items. The apps are very small and delightful, so you can easily try 3 to 6 and still do one or two mains. The sides are interesting but hardly necessary since pita is served with many items. I tried seven things with a friend and would highly recommend the lamb shoulder, kanpachi crudo, octopus and wood oven chicken. I usually skip chicken on menus but ordered it here because I heard good things. It exceeded my expectations! The service and ambiance are wonderful.
