    From the moment we walked in and they held the door open for us to quickly being greeted and sat at our reserved table it was wonderful. The appetizers were tasty. We had the Estia chips, octopus, and the beets. Our meals were served hot and in a timely fashion. We had the lamb chops, the sea bass, and the chicken dish. Everything was done well and they gave us the necessary attention without being overbearing. All of the food was tasty and no need to add anything to enhance the flavors. It is fine dining and the price reflects that but it is worth the splurge.

    Food and service were outstanding. They were running a bit behind with seating even with reservations, which is understandable in my opinion given the busy holiday and the Eagles parade. They gave us complimentary champagne for the wait, which was greatly appreciated. Cocktails were amazing and delicious. Filet and lamb were excellent, cooked to perfection. The crab cocktail could’ve had a bit more meat for the price, in my opinion, but given how expensive seafood has become and how tasty it was, its understandable. Overall great place, great for Valentine’s Day, and will definitely be back one day!
