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.
