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.
Food quality was over our expectations. We had a small (hygiene) issue but in general service and tastes were really good. I highly recommend grilled fagri fish.
It was a true treat the decorations were the best for a Greek restaurant I have been timeless and not overdone. The food was amazing. We had a huge group and everyone loved it
Wow wow wow!!! A gem in the heart of Philly
Everything is super delicious but their Greek cheesecake is TO DIE FOR.. will definitely be going back
The atmosphere was amazing, friendly waiters and lovely decor. They even offer bread and dip when u get there
We ordered a tarama, calamari rings, lamb chops ( a person can’t eat this plate alone) and the arugula salad with roasted almonds 10/10

The lace is pretty good size, but reservations are recommended. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Started with flat bread, tzatziki, and the red pepper sauce. Both were really good. Flat bread was hot. We had bread with humus. Very creamy and flavorful, not anything like you buy in store. We had sea bass and salmon. Both were really good. Cooked very well and really nice flavors. We ended with the cheese cake and baklava. Cheesecake was very creamy and great flavor. Baklava taisted like an apple compote, very good. Highly recommend the place. It is a little pricey but I think it is worth it for the quality of food.
We sat at the bar during happy hour and got several apps and a salad, service was really great and food was fantastic. Estia chips (zucchini and eggplant with zucchini) were so good we ordered a second one. Dionysus drink was delicious, and the baklava was wonderful. Perfect place to go after a show at Kimmel.
Atmosphere: Estia has a very fine dining yet rustic ambiance. When dining at night, there is dimmed lighting that highlights the rich colors that make up their decor.
Service: Service was really thoughtful and fast. They gave us great recommendations on what to order and move our seats to accommodate our party.
Food: I ordered from the Theatre Menu and got the Octopodi appetizer which came with capers and a red wine vinaigrette which made it a refreshing way to start my meal. For the entree, I got Lamb Trahana Shank which was super light yet filling! Lastly, finished with the delicious Salted Caramel Baklava and Honey Walnut Cake.
Tips: Our waiter told us ordering from the Theatre Menu gets you a better value - it comes with an appetizer, entree, and dessert options you can choose from!
