"With hanging plants, sprawling flower arrangements and massive Greek urns throughout the space, you may think you walked onto the stage of a production of Mama Mia! instead of a massive Mediterranearn restaurant. It's the perfect choice for lamb chops, lemony tzatziki, and a warm pita spread before a night of waiting for your cue to clap with 200 strangers between acts. Especially useful is the pre-theater meal that lets you choose three courses for just $40, so you can feel good about splurging on those tickets. They’re also open daily as early as 3pm, so you can stop by after a matinee for an incredible horiatiki salad that deserves a food version of a Tony Award." - candis mclean
"The Greek cuisine mainstay has been impressing diners in Center City for years with its generous portions and expansive menu. From its seared Dover sole to their sizzling lamb shanks, this is where you go for a Mediterranean feast done right." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
"Located in Center City, Estia is a large, elegant Greek restaurant that is as ambitious in architectural scale as it is in its expansive menu. Their sizzling lamb chops, savory lobster linguine, and tasty horiatiki salad that’s a mainstay for a reason." - George Banks-Weston
"Estia is a sprawling, upscale, semi-sceney Greek restaurant in Center City that wouldn’t be out of place at a Disney theme park. Heavy-handed decor aside, Estia’s service is always attentive, it’s warm and welcoming for groups of all sizes, and if you’re prepared to splurge (mains start around 50 bucks a pop), it works well for expertly cooked lamb chops, savory lobster linguine, and lettuce-free horiatiki salad that should be on every table." - alison kessler, candis mclean
"Horiatiki For some salad skeptics, the issue is not the vegetables. It’s the leaves. Luckily, Center City’s Estia has a fantastic horiatiki salad. Ruby red tomatoes, crisp red onion, hunks of cucumber, and feta squares come drenched in a red wine vinaigrette. Add an order of the crispy Estia chips to really get the party started." - candis mclean, alison kessler
