"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
"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
"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
"When you're craving spanakopita, juicy lamb chops, and a great deal, head to Estia. Their $60 dinner menu showcases why people, including us, keep coming back to the Greek behemoth in Center City. Plus, there's a vegetarian option in each course—like roasted eggplant over tomato sauce." - candis mclean
"At this Greek behemoth in Center City, you can go for one of two banquet rooms, the wine room, a small private dining room that fits up to 10 people, or just rent it all out and have wall-to-wall lavraki. It all feels like the set of Mamma Mia 3, and they make some fantastic lobster linguine, lamb chops, and Estia chips, perfect for your 5th or 25th anniversary." - candis mclean
