    Best hummus ever! The Lavraki is a favorite choice every time I go to Estia and it doesn’t disappoint. Crispy filet of fish yielding tender and moist meat. Horta and the Estia eggplant tower with tzatziki sauce were excellent accompaniments

    Good food and good value for a pre-theater dinner. Waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. General commentary for most wait staff these days and a pet peeve of mine- like many others says “are we” when asking “we diners” a question. Not sure who instructed wait staff to say “we” instead of “you” but it’s incorrect. They are not at table with “us.” Endeavoring to Include themselves in the diner’s experience is overly familiar, incorrect and at times condescending. Nonetheless, They work hard. Tip well!

    Fantastic find. Restaurant is mostly seafood based but everything we had was delicious. The mussel appetizer tasted fresh with unique flavors. The Greek salad brought back memories of our time on Crete and our entrees (sea bass & halibut) were perfectly prepared and every bite worth savoring. We will definitely return soon.
