This was my first time at Estia Taverna's Greek Restaurant. We were celebrating my brother's 50th wedding anniversary. It was eleven of us and really good to see family. This Estia is located in David, Pa. There is plenty of parking near and around the restaurant. We had a reservation for 4pm and were seated right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is very beautifully decorated, with plenty of staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had plenty of appetizers and desserts for the table to share. The table was nicely prepared for all of us, with plenty of space for everyone. They have a lot of their seafood on display and if you like, you can pick which one you'd like them to prepare for you. They actually bring it out for a little show while it being prepared (see picture). I haven't one bad thing to say about this restaurant. A good time was had by all! Oh! One thing that was very impressive......twice (during the evening) silverware had fallen to the floor. A waiter would rush over to bring a clean set right away. Wow! Never saw that done with such fast precision!!!! I decided on the Lamb Chops. It comes with fried potatoes, tzatziki and I got a side of grilled vegetables. My husband got the same,only with Spanakorizo (rice,spinach & leeks). It was just too much food to keep account of everyone. Everything was delicious. One thing I can say is our waitress was a pro! Never skipped beat on our orders. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend for a special occasion or a nice quite evening out. The hours: Sun-Thurs 3pm-9pm Fri & Sat 3pm- 10pm read more

I usually go to Estia Philadelphia before shows/performances and love going there. Tried Estia in Radnor last night and it was excellent as well. Service was attentive although funny in that our server would ask us how our next dish was immediately after it had been placed in front of us and before we had a bite. It happened three times! So maybe not quite as attentive come to think of it. We both ordered from the prix fixe menu (sharing the appetizers) which is a good deal, and I don't remember so many items involving an upcharge so that's new to me. - fried calamari - 4/5, very good, nice aioli dipping sauce, breading was consistent and not too heavy, light tasting and delicious - greek salad - 4/5, I usually love this and it was still delicious and fresh but I noticed that 1) they've changed the name so it's no longer called horiatiki, and 2) we had a very small piece of feta with the salad whereas in the past the ratio of feta to the tomatoes, green peppers, red onions, cucumbers has been more even. And now there's a $6 supplement charge for this appetizer which seems like A LOT for a salad. Next time I might skip this because of the upcharge - lavraki - 5/5, this light white fish is just the right amount of flavor and portion and my go to choice when I go to Estia. Also a $6 upcharge but this seemed more worth it - baklava - 5*/5, also a $2 upcharge but worth it as these four pieces of cylindrical baklava, while a little difficult to eat (use your hand? try to cut a cylinder with a fork?) it is an excellent baklava [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went at 5pm before it got too busy and were seated away from the bar so we were able to have a quiet conversation but as the restaurant filled it definitely got noisier and I would not want to be seated near the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They do have a lovely outdoor area at the front and side of the restaurant so we could have sat outside since last night was quite mild in weather.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One downside of the prix fixe is no zucchini and eggplant chips which are my favorite, and I didn't want to order that on top of the appetizer, entree, and dessert. Next time! read more

I dined at Estia on Sunday and it was exceptional! Our reservation time was 5:30 PM. We probably didn't need one, but I made one just in case as we're nearing the holidays. I was celebrating my birthday a few days early. There was plenty of parking available. The hosts at the front desk and our waitress/wait staff were all very, very kind. It was a pleasure dealing with everyone here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is decorated beautifully.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The restaurant provides complimentary hummus with sliced bread or pita bread. We chose the pita bread. The hummus was delightful. Super creamy and flavorful. I ordered the Dionysius cocktail which was quite refreshing and light. I was in the mood for a carbonated drink and this was perfect. The Estia Chips are a MUST, especially if you're a zucchini and eggplant fan. These little half moons were fried to perfection and come with a side of tzatziki. I was sad when we finished them. Their tuna is cooked rare (it's reflected on the menu as such) but oh so yummy. I was expecting a steak, but instead, squared pieces of tuna wrapped around sautéed spinach were served to me. Highly suggest this! One thing about me is I always leave room for dessert, and I was with my fiancé who loves cheesecake so we asked for that. The pistachio crust was excellent. I had never tasted anything like this before. It was my first time having Greek food, but it definitely won't be my last! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Estia Taverna for mainline restaurant week. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful and I loved the ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was very kind and attentive, and told us everything we needed to know about the restaurant week menu and the daily specials. For appetizers, we ordered the octopus and mussels, and for our main dishes we ordered the branzino and lamb chops. Everything was absolutely delicious. My favorite was the mussels and the lamb chops. And if you're in the mood for dessert, I highly recommend getting the korma. 10/10 can't wait to go back! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Estia Taverna. We relied on the help of the Estia team member Mikayla- she was spot on guiding us through the wines, appetizers and mains - her knowledge and attentive help made the evening extra special. We tried the fava, hummus, salmon tartare, and shrimp saganaki appetizers - the shrimp was just as good as when we had it in Greece; the salmon tartare was excellent and the fava and hummus were very good. For mains we had the barbounia (light, tasty fish) and the tsipoura (very large and delicious serving). We shared the Greek yogurt with honey and almonds as dessert and it was delightful. Service throughout was attentive, thoughtful and knowledgable. read more

We went here for an early dinner and the staff were so friendly. Our active infant was with us and they were so welcoming and supportive trying to accommodate us as much as possible. The food was also tasty. The halibut was cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth, accompanied by some grilled vegetables. I wasn't a fan of the sauce but I also don't like olives so I should've read that better. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his mixed seafood. I tried his calamari which was good and not chewy. I also tried the honey walnut cake. It tasted ok at the restaurant but to took most of it home and heated it up the next day and it was lovely. The service, cleanliness and fresh taste of the food would bring me back here. read more

I love Greek food and was very happy with Estia! We only went for Happy Hour but it was fabulous and I can't wait to go back for dinner. The inside is beautiful with a large bar and two separate dining rooms as well as outdoor seating in the warm months. All of the employees were extremely friendly and attentive. Our waiter was so helpful answering a bunch of questions from our whole group. The HH snacks are good and reasonably priced. 3 spread dip- pita is so tender and great charred flavor. Tzatziki is fresh and creamy with a slight zest Htipti- smoky and tart. Gritty Melitzanosalata- spicy, roasted red pepper. Creamy Hummus- bland. Greasy with no garlic and very little flavor overall. Cheese Saganki- crispy and creamy. Gooey inside and flames flavor crisp on outside. Calamari- perfect crispy and tender. Slight spice in the dip. They have a thin breading so it wasn't too much breading. read more

I really like Estia! It's beautifully decorated, moody yet comfortable. Service is also on point. Our server was attentive but not intrusive. My friend and I split the grilled shrimp (large and tender), Dover sole (flaky, sweet, and beautifully cooked), spanakorizo (spinach rice which was a great accompaniment). My only one negative comment is that my Tito's French martini, while tasty, was $18. A bit excessive. read more

I left my birthday dinner here in near tears. I'd been here before, which is why I chose the restaurant. But this time, our waiter basically ignored us the entire time. Never checked on us, never asked how the food was, never asked about a dessert. Since the hostess had remembered I put that it was my birthday it our reservation, I assumed we'd at least get some small slice of cake or whatever brought to us. Nothing at all. Had to ask a busser to bring our check and then the waiter was rude was we mentioned we hadn't seen him. Sorry that our tradition of coming here will likely end tonight. All we wanted was a little kindness, respect, or acknowledgement of our existence. read more

It's been a while since I've dined here because they stopped serving lunch following the pandemic. Last night two friends and I met for dinner, and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had here! I had made a reservation for 5:30pm. We all arrived early and they were happy to seat us early. They were starting to get busy (by the time we left the place was completely packed!). Our server, Mirabel (?), was wonderful -- very friendly, attentive, and accurate. Since it was the others' first time, I insisted they try the Estia Chips, which are a crowd favorite. Indeed, it was better than I'd remembered; in fact, one of the gentlemen in our party said it was "the best zucchini he's ever had." The house bread and hummus were also delicious; their hummus is one of the best. I opted for the Avgolemono (soup) and Dolmades as my meal -- both of which I've had on multiple prior occasions. Portions and temperatures were perfect and the flavor was out of this world! We all enjoyed glasses of wine (rose for me). No dessert as we were all pretty full. I am so happy I had a chance to come back and will continue to recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. My friends were highly impressed and said it was worth every penny! read more

We had a reservation for 4 on a Friday night and were promptly seated by a friendly hostess. We had the Spreads Pikilia for an appetizer. The various dips were delicious with the fresh out of the oven pita! I ordered the Mixed Seafood Orzo and WOW. The seafood was fresh and the orzo was *chefs kiss*. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. The ambiance and decor of Estia is chic and breezy. Transports you out of the Main Line and to the Mediterranean! Highly recommend Estia!!

Went for anniversary. Been a long time since we were at Estia in Philly and this was first time trying the Radner location. Was looking forward to Estia chips, Eck mek, and fresh fish. For apps, we ordered Estia chips, cheese saganaki, avgolemono soup. Soup and saganaki were excellent as was the hummus and grilled fresh bread served when we sat down. I ordered the halibut and my wife had the lobster linguine which she liked. My halibut was a bit overcooked and a little dry. For dessert was disappointed to find out that they no longer serve ek mek. Instead some kind of yogurt cheese cake which I didn't care for as it wasn't very sweet. Our server was very nice. Overall was was underwhelmed as my expectations were high. read more

I absolutely love Greek food. Most of the Greek restaurants I've been to have been fantastic mom and pop shops specializing in convenient take-out; a quick lamb gyro, a Greek salad, some stuffed grape leaves. I've never been to a upper-end, sit down Greek restaurant like Estia, and I am beyond please I did. We came here for my girlfriend's birthday per her request. I had the lemon Avgolemono soup (lemon, chicken and rice) - refreshing and delicious. I also ordered the Greek salad with shrimp added. The shrimp were char grilled to perfection. The tomatoes on the Greek salad were full of favor, the cheese was salty, and, the olives completed everything. Shame on me for trying to be healthy though. My girlfriend got the mixed seafood orzo which blew anything I had out of the water. Perfectly cooked, not chewy seafood in soft and delicate orzo. I wish I could recreate the sauce myself. Service was friendly and polite, including the hostesses. Great food, great atmosphere, great people - come check out Estia. read more

This is the best Greek restaurant I have experienced in the USA so far. Not cheap, but worth it. The seafood dishes looked really tempting and the server said they are delivered fresh very frequently but I had to go for the lamb chops which is not something that you see very often. I was not disappointed! Also, the greek salad is awesome and has lots of fresh tomatoes and the dessert cheesecake is one of the best I had, but note it's not a traditional cheesecake, it's made with Greek yogurt and honey. Other people loved the chocolate torte dessert too read more

We came to Estia for their fine selection of fish dishes, and enjoyed so many other of their Mediterranean selections while we were there. We recommend the octopus and the pita bread with your choice of three spreads for appetizers. The octopus was sweet, flavorful and tender- charcoal grilled with fava puree, pickled red onion, Holland peppers, and capers. The Tzatziki spread, potato garlic spread and the hummus were perfectly prepared. We also all shared a zesty cucumber tomatoes salad. Oysters were fresh as could be, served traditionally on a bed of ice with some seaweed strands. The Estia chips were thinly sliced zucchini and eggplant lightly fried... try it! The Salmon Tartare was fresh and healthy... prepared with shallot, chili pepper, cilantro, fresh lime, crispy potato chips. I preferred it without the chips. Fish, perfect, drop the mic! Great service too. Thank you! read more

I give Gena this- she takes the cake on being the pushiest, rudest server I've ever met. She went for broke on making sure we would never return to Estia. Let me make a long, tasteless, aggravating night short- Before we began ordering, we said we wanted separate checks (it was just the 2 of us). Gena says, "We don't do that here." Insert bratty smile better walking away in a tiff here. Before we left, another waitress asked if I need my check and if I'd like it split. I told her Gena said Estia doesn't do that and the poor girl flat out panicked looking around. I told her it's fine, not her fault, I had a feeling Gena was just being difficult. We tried ordering appetizers first while we decide what to get for entrees ("You ARE getting entrees, right?" -Gena). Gena said that's not how it worths at Estia. You need to order everything at once so the cooks know how to time the food. She said this, to my face. Absolutely ridiculous, you've got to be kidding me- but it's a nice (looking) restaurant and we didn't want to cause a scene with a woman who obviously despised our very existence as soon as we sat down, so we go along with it and order entrees hastily. The food comes out pretty close together (oh wait what?! but the timing!) so our tiny table is cluttered. The food was okay, but nothing particularly good. Lacked a lot of flavor and spice. My partner did like the chicken though. The entire time we're there- and I'm not exaggerating here when I say every 5-10 minutes, Gena is at the table asking if we're done. Doesn't matter his much food was covering the table. Doesn't matter that our forks are literally in our mouths mid-bite, Gena's over it. Get the hell out of her restaurant. I will admit, at this point we're so perplexed by this angry woman that we drag it out a little longer and ask for the dessert menu- oh man if looks could kill! I think you get the point. I won't belabor every slight or offhand insult she threw our way. But the last one was pretty good- as two tiny little bites of the chocolate torte are sitting on my plate (and yes Gena, we left that there just to infuriate you, mission accomplished), she slides up and says in the most bratty way she can muster, "Do you need me to box that for you?" Lots of smirking and eye rolling to follow. I had no idea Dick's Last Resort got so expensive. read more

We chose here for a birthday celebration but the standard of service did not come close to the price point. The waiter spoke so low and fast that even when asked to repeat we had no idea. The appetizers were good & presentation lovely. However the entree was a let down. The sea bass was drowning in a bland tomato sauce. We would not be running back based on first impressions read more

The food at Estia is some of the best on the main line. My family and I eat here often and they flat out do not make meal mistakes here. There are no "off" days. It is consistently delicious. Favorites are: every dip (seriously, every dip is amazing), spanakopita, moussaka, shrimp cocktail (biggest shrimp I have ever seen, ever), the zucchini chips, the fried potatoes, the lamb lollipops, and the cheesecake for dessert is a strange sweet/savory dish you cannot get anywhere else. Oh and the cocktails are incredible as well. This is one of my favorite restaurants of all time. I do not say that lightly. read more

I've been to the city location before but tonight was my first time in Radnor. I was a little nervous since the menus aren't identical but was far from disappointed. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was tremendous. We were Promptly seated with our reservation. Started with complimentary bread and hummus (very creamy, garlicky). For appetizers chose the skordalia which was unlike anything I've eaten before and loved the grilled pita it came with. We also tried the calamari which was lightly fried and the marinara was just the right combo spicy/sweet. My boyfriend devoured his lamb chops while I loved the shank. Struggled to finish our entrees but had to split the baklava which was some of the best I've had. Would definitely recommend. read more

I called and made a reservation two days prior to dining in and went with a reservation on the earlier side when my ideal time slot was unavailable. The hostess I spoke on the phone with was very friendly and I was excited for my reservation. Upon arrival and checking in with the host, I felt as I was inconvenience for wanting to dine out on a Saturday. Upon arriving at my table, I quickly brushed the less than ideal welcome aside to enjoy the decor and enjoy a fine meal. My server was friendly, but the service overall was mediocre for the money spent. It was a struggle to receive water at times and overall, the effort felt as the theme of the night was to give the bare minimum. The impression I received that Estia was coasting off their brand recognition and I should be content with any service I receive. The cheese saganaki, pikilia spreads, and tuna tartarte were excellent appetitizers to start the meal. I opted for the Estia pilsner as my opening drink as I was craving what I thought would be a nice craft beer. The pilsner was bland and tasted watered down. There were no distinguishing attributes, and I quickly pivoted the wine for the remainder of the evening. Despite dining in earlier than I originally wanted, the filet minion I had my eye on was sold out. I chuckled a little as that is my luck, but I had to ask for the menu again. I suppose I was expected to have memorized the menu and have a backup plan on the spot. I eventually opted for the bone-in fish; Barbounia with roasted asparagus and potatoes. The fish was flaky and nicely prepared with a mild flavor but the roasted potatoes and asparagus were the highlights in my opinion. Nicely seasoned and full of flavor that paired well with the Barbounia. In summary, the evening out was nice but not as memorable as I had hoped it to be. The service again was adequate but adequate won't cut it at this price point. I was disappointed by the lack of inventory and preparedness to have my original choice entree available nor was there any apologies for the inconvenience. I may return in the new year and hopefully update my review. read more

Beautiful restaurant with outdoor seating. Fun, popular place but it was a little loud. Food was decent but we expected better considering the reputation, decor, prices. Based on our experience, Estia seems a better choice for drinks and a light meal in the lively bar area than a full blown but average meal. read more

Estia is AMAZING!!! The atmosphere is fun and aesthetically pleasing. They have tons of seating indoors and outdoors as well as a large bar with seating. Our service was wonderful. The waiter was friendly and attentive and another server even came and checked to make sure someone had checked on us too (they had!) my boyfriend got the Garden of athens cocktail as suggested by our waiter and we both loved it. I got a cocktail with strawberry that was very good. We were there during main line today restaurant week. The menu was very similar to Estia's prix fixe menu that they serve on weekdays from 330-530 on weekdays. I got the octopus and boyfriend got spanakopita. Both were fabulous. The spanakopita was an amazingly done classic boasting with flavor and perfectly flakey crust. Octopus was cooked perfectly and paired well with vegetables and hummus. For entrees, I had the Lavraki (sea bass) and he got the lamb chops. The sea bass was cooked perfectly and served with rice flavored similar to sptnikopta (spanikopirizo). The lamb chops were again, cooked perfectly and delicious. Desserts were also fabulous!!! We will definitely be back. read more
