    Everything from the service to the food was superb. We ordered the sardines and octopus apps. The octopus was so tender and the dressing that accompanied it was so tasty. The sardines were lightly sauced with a lemon herb mixture that danced on the palate. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection, and the salmon was wonderful. Would definitely eat here again!

    Estia is a great location for dinner, whether you’re attending a musical at one of the nearby theaters or simply spending a new out in the city. They have a cozy bar (10-12 seats) to complement their expansive dining and private event seating. The menu is a Greek inspired selection of wonderful entrees, from steak to seafood to authentic Greek dishes. All the food was amazing!! We enjoyed cocktails, then our party chose the Spanikopita and Calamari for appetizers. Our entrees were Moussaka (a casserole that two members from our party enjoyed), Ahi Tuna and the Chilean Sea Bass. For dessert we split the Greek cheesecake and the baklava. We had a terrific dinner, & excellent service by their staff. Estia was one of tbe best restaurant experiences I’ve had in a long time.

    My husband and I came here based on a friend’s recommendation and it did not disappoint! Robin gave us some of her favorites and we tried two of them. The octopus appetizer and lamb chops were delicious! The theater menu was the perfect size portions for me. It was a great dinner before going to see a spectacular show! Will return again!

    Great food! Made us scream OPA! and break our plates out of joy and celebration. The calamari was lightly fried, tasty, quite good! The Greek salad - just lovely! Cucumber, peppers, onions, and Feta cheese!!!! We got a side of the grilled octopus that was soft and flavorful! The server was friendly and provided grea free input on what to purchase. Bring on the Ελλάς φαγητό

    As usual, the food and service were great. We were in a pre theater rush, and they handled us without a problem. I usually eat here before we go to a play. Great Greek seafood centric menu.

    We were seated immediately in the section we had requested. Our server was very attentive and professional. Our meals were excellent and enjoyed by all of us. I had the pre-theater fish selection and it was melt-in-my mouth good.

    Estia has become our go-to pre theatre restaurant. We brought friends there for the first time, and they loved it.
