    Superb experience! Beautiful dining room. Kind and attentive service. Hummus with bread for the table was silky smooth, refined and flavorful. We thoroughly enjoyed our first courses which included romaine salad, flaming saganaki (Opa!), and grilled octopus salad. Tsipoura and paidakia entrées were outstanding. We chose the grilled vegetable plate to accompany our main course—generous and beautifully prepared. Dessert included refreshing lemon sorbet and heavenly Greek cheesecake which was drizzled with honey and sprinkled with chopped pistachios. We regularly enjoy Greek food, and this meal was exceptional!

    Quiet, romantic, great food and drinks. We had a lovely 30th anniversary dinner. The Manhattens were "out of this world" exceptionally good. Staff was wonderful. We couldn't have asked for better meal and experience.

    We love it here because the surface is very quick knowing that we are going to see a show next-door. The food is excellent, the drinks are as well. We love to sit at the high tops.

    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.
