Estia Restaurant Reviews

Food is very good but somewhat overpriced, especially the whole fish selections which are sold by the pound but you pay for the inedible head, fins, bones, and the tail. Service was excellent.

Small portion sizes (but we went for restaurant week) yet the food was flavored well, the ambiance was fantastic, felt like we were in Greece.

Wonderful atmosphere with beautiful decor. Although upscale, did not feel out of place in my casual travel clothing. Wonderful Sauvignon Blanc that went wonderfully with seasoned pan-searedsea bass and rest of 4-course Mediterranean meal.

Excellent service, fresh seafood and Greek entrees. Wine selection is diverse and bar tenders are attentive and provide informed drink suggestions. The lamb dishes are excellent for lamb lovers. Plenty of meet, chicken and seafood selections to choose.

Great food, the oysters could have been cleaner but everything else, superb. Service needed a jog but then was very attentive to our special needs, theatre tickets.

A fav place for tasty mediterranean food. I had a cousin come into town and asked me to take him back here. If it wasn't far from my work I would come by more.

Great Greek food! Great service! Atmosphere is like being in a Greek Villa. When we were seated our server said, "welcome home." Nice!

Wonderful food, excellent service, great atmosphere. Can't ask for more.

I used to to be client, lately the service is lousy.

It is OK. good flavor but not value. Very expensive and overhyped for the quality. Had the chicken soup and it was creamy but tasted mediocre w a hint of lime. The shrimp in the rigatoni lacked any flavor but the pasta sauce was good. The yogurt dessert is what saved the meal and deserved the 4 stars.

We have been here a couple of times Ann's the food and service has been exceptional both times. We highly recommend this place.

They serve large dishes and for fair pricing. very welcoming owner. 5 stars from me.

Great upscale Greek restaurant. Freshest fish and shellfish selection.

The atmosphere is warm and familial, the menu offers a vroad range of options and the food was good -- took off a star because two small items never showed up: sparkling water, which I later cancelled, and lemons, which were offered when I cancelled the sparkling... but never arrived.

Horrible service food is mediocre at best expensive

Octopus from heaven. Moussaka to die for. Simply put, the best.

I find Estia to be uninspired after all these years, and overpriced given other Philly fine-dining landmarks. Their fresh fish selections are good but definitely overpriced, well above even the most expensive entrees.

To begin with, the outside of this restaurant is very welcoming, the inside even more with a hospitable staff. This place had different types of tables for seating(round, square, rectangular) and still there is enough room to walk around!! The bathroom is beautiful and roomy. Okay let me talk about the food we had. Appetizers consisted of, Spanokopita, Mussels Saganaki, Octopodi, and fried cheese in a delicious butter and lemon sauce. All four of these items where delicious!!! The entree that where ordered are, Lavraki(grilled sea bass w/ladolemeno and capers) and Arni Paidakia(Lamb chops w/roasted potatoes and tzatziki sauce). My nieces said, the fish was good. I had the lamb chops, which were cooked to perfection!!! Very juicy and season well. I liked the potatoes too. Dessert was excellent: Galaktoboureko(semolina custard wrapped in phyllo) very light and creamy. One niece had gotten the Poached Peach w/ a champagne reduction, said it was, good. The other niece had the same as me, the Galaktoboureko Oh yeah, thank you to our waiter, Currian!! You were very professional and helpful with choosing the food and wine. Yes, I would go again!!!!

Went to Estia before a show at the Kimmel Center, and fell in love! The interior is rustic and beautiful, large enough so you aren't crowded yet still feels intimate. The food is delicious and perfect for sharing. Our server knew the menu very well and was able to help us pair our wine with what we ordered. I want to come back to check out their happy hour!

Amazing Mediterranean food. The grilled octopus did not disappoint.

Hits all the points, food, service, ambiance, location. 100%.

It defies description. Wonderful food. Lovely environment. Impeccable service.

Dispite the very unique Mediterranean menu, our party was sorely disappointed with this restaurant. The service was over water yet poorly trained. The space, itself, did not seem clean. The food was okay. Just okay. We were there for a birthday celebration, but the excitement ended soon after we were notified that menu options were unavailable and when the food service we received was inconsistent. Would not go back again, but if you go, I would suggest the fish of the day option.

No complaints. Everything was amazing and I will be back.

My boyfriend and his family & I dined here for his graduation. This was my first time, needless to say I was impressed. We sat in a beautiful comfortable booth. The waiter who took care of us Saki handled are orders exceptionally well. He was very kind and very skilled. The Greek food is delicious and hot. I suggest trying the octopus! Best I ever had. Besides the great food and service, the establishment it's self is beyond beautiful. Definitely a MUST SEE!!!

We went for Restaurant Week. Unlike many places, Estia offered up a menu of some of their best stuff.. Grilled Octopus, Whole Sea Bass, Lamb chops, etc. The kind of stuff that will make you want to return.. Casually elegant venue and sincerely friendly service.

Will you always stop here for dinner before the theater at the Academy of Music.
The food is fantastic as always.
The service is fantastic as always.
Highly recommended for dinner before the show or or just dinner

Went for a private birthday dinner in the wine room --the space itself is beautiful (a bit chilly since it is the wine storage room and there were servers coming in and out grabbing bottles which was slightly annoying for a private event). The cocktails and service were EXCELLENT, the food was... OK
Don't know if I would go back but I'm not mad it, we had a fantastic evening regardless

Estia is easily one of the reliably best restaurants in the Philadelphia area and its Radnor location is a welcome addition to the Main Line restaurant scene.

This was a great experience. The food and the ambiance were great. The server was personable and knowledgeable about the product. Little pricy but probably right on for the Philly market.

We had pre show cocktails and appetizers. All were phenomenal! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Wedding party served a five star menu. Authentic Greek cuisine in the heart of Philly. Parking a pricy $32, no discount, but par for the area.

I like this restaurant a lot. It has a nice ambiance. The food is great. the service is efficient and the personel is friendly. The cost is honest. I warmly recommend.

Good place for delicious Mediterranean food. This place does it for me.

Geat food and service - a bit pricey, but worth the splurge.

Don't eat here my brother was an exterminator they have so many roaches in the kitchen you would not believe it. The kitchen is filthy. They think you can exterminate half the kitchen one month and wait a month for the other half. Raisins or roaches?

Great food, great service, private dining rooms for special affairs. Next to Kimmel center. Very accommodating.

Grouper was fantastic. So was the Roe spread - sounds crazy but really was out of this world.

Delicious food and excellent service! We lucked out and arrived during Restaurant Week! Tasted all the best of Estia for a pris fixe price that was amazing! Loved the lamb chops, Mediterranean salad, and baklava!

Delicious! Wonderful atmosphere. Attentive service.

I have been here a few times over the years and I will say that they are very consistent in their food quality. Super fresh seafood. Usually I go for land animals when dining out, but here I always go with fish. Started off with the stuffed calamari. Superb! The whole fish was expertly prepared and filleted. Only found two tiny bones. The four stars may not be totally fair because we always come here before performances at the Academy so they are always slammed so service lags a bit. I should try them when they are slow, if they are ever slow.

Environment and service were good, but food taste is not what i would expect from so highly reviewed restaurant. Taste was like in simple cafeteria at your worklplace. Though prices are reasonable.

The food is a 10, the service is a 10 and, the setting is a 10.

Interesting place with good meals
More food than I should have eaten. Could not stop. The flavors were wonderful and different. The service is great and the space is good looking and comfortable.

Yummy food but not wonderful service. I didn't feel like the waiter put in any time to make our experience pleasant. Also our orders were brought out so quickly that we hadn't finished the previous course. They just crammed all the food onto the table.

Good food but it is not the right place to host your family or friends if the server is Chris. I hope not to meet him next time. He needs to be polite to his guests. He was always aggressive and he hit my hand with the dish when he removed the dishes from our table. He was working like he was fighiting with something. He didn't have a sens of filling the glass of water. We didn't need that server at all.

The 35$ menu (3 course) is no good.
Do not try it.
Try the individual items from the menu. Probably better.

why are they blocking the whole sidewalk?? ignorant and inaccessible

Good food, nice location. A little pricy for what you gey.

mediterranean food and the feeling here is great. Definitely one of the best places in the area. The service was sociable and attentive.

Marissa was an excellent aerver and hostess! Food was excelkent! Hope to make reservations for next visit.

Not a fan. Ridiculously expensive for not overly amazing food.

Pleasant atmosphere, good service, interesting menu

Absolutely love this place. Ambiance, service, and food are first-class.

One word: Incredible!! I had fish in Greece right off the boat and this was no less fresh.

One of the best Greek restaurants I have visited. The food was top quality. You can select your fish from a fresh ice bar. Many options to select from, the food Is Greek but more modern and well done. The decor in the restaurant was beautiful. Staff was extremely friendly. I would recommend coming here for Greek food. I loved every thing we ordered !

Favorite for dining for Opera and Orchestra. Carmen excellent
. Octopus and squid best as usual. Sound level very bearable, although restaurant by t he time we half through ws getting noisy.

Delicious fresh food! Your wallet might feel a little light after a nice dinner here but it is completely worth it!

The food was delicious, but it wasn't like anything else. the pink grapefruit sorbet has a very unique taste to it, and was delicious.

Have celebrated anniversaries and birthdays here and it has always been so amazing! Brings back memories from my childhood years!

Delicious! Fast friendly service. Did I say delicious?

Great restaurant. Great location. Excellent service and food.

Best Happy Hour in the City. We go on Mondays; Betty is the best!!

Meal here is amazing. We started with the pita and spread, and the spanakopita....delicious! Then we both got the moussaka for our main course. So so good. We finished with the baklava. To die for! We will 100% be going back! I highly recommended this restaurant.

Best place to get Greek food in the city. This is a true Greek restaurant with a great selection of fresh fish. Zucchini chips are the best.

Nice setting and good food and drinks. Service was fantastic...

Best Greek food I have found in the city. The grilled octopus and Souvlaki were my favorite dishes. The cocktails were also very good. They were very Covid conscious and had lovely outdoor seating. Service was spectacular and the wait staff and host were very friendly.

Always good food and a pleasant atmosphere that is not overly noisy! It's Restaurant Week so it was a bit more crowded, but the service was not rushed.

The restaurant is in a great location and the service and food are excellent! Definitely recommend this location off you're in the area.

Food is fine but expensive. Service was slow and unprofessional. Had to ask the hostess twice to send our waiter to the table, Ridiculous! The service should be much better and attentive.

Very, very good food!
Super expensive, though.
But, wait for restaurant week, and get a great meal, for less than half the normal price.

One of the best lunches I ever had. Calamari amazing. Grilled prawns I will dream of forever. Pasta with Lobster. Baklava. Espresso. Thanks
