    We dined at Estia prior to attending a nearby concert. We have dined here before and have always been pleased. We chose to order from the theater menu. All of the courses were delicious. The server did a very noce job of pairing wines with our various courses. Highlights were the spanokoptia, lamb chops and baklava. We'll certainly return soon.

    Hello.. as always, Estia does not disappoint. From service to food. But missing the the old tuna tart dish, the new one is not the same missing the avocado. It’s just not the same experience. But of course will be back in just few weeks.

    Menu was great. Delicious food and excellent service. Our only negative was that we were seated next to a large party who was overwhelmingly loud. They were virtually yelling and whooping it up. It impacted our ability to hear our own table and interact. It was a total bummer, impacting our evening significantly.

    It was a very busy night at the restaurant, so it was more crowded and noisier than many visits. Because of this we felt a bit rushed. The food was still outstanding, and we were happy they are doing well as you are one of our favorite pre-orchestra places.

    Nearby table was extremely loud and inconsiderate of other dining guests. Other than that, it would have been great.

    Food was great as always. You almost can’t go wrong with any of the menu items. But our waiter left a bit to be desired. He pounced on us literally before our party had even sat down, starting to explain the menu. I told him we’d been here many times but he insisted on reviewing it with us, while we were trying to say hello to friends we hadn’t seen for some time. He was really aggressive, telling us we had to order quickly, etc for no apparent reason. Also, Estia is on the dark side to begin with. But our table was maybe in the darkest spot in the restaurant, requiring all of us to get our phones out to see anything on the menu. That’s annoying. But the food was wonderful.

    Delicious food, expertly prepared. The Estia chips are a must. No matter all the other tempting dishes on the menu, can never resist the grilled prawns -- huge, sweet, cooked just to the right point. And, of course, perfect service from old friend, Saki.
