Tsipoura (flaky white fish), red pepper spread, and cheesecake are all EXCELLENT! All the Greek wines are a hit too. Pricy but worth it on a special occasion. read more

Estia - Cheesecake - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Radnor, Pennsylvania

Yum!!!!! We had an amazing dinner at Estia! The organic chicken was so tasty and the moussaka was outstanding. Loved the caesar salad with dill dressing. Our waitress, Lindsey, was friendly and so responsive. We will be back soon! Great job!!! read more

This can only be a partial review- IMHO happy hour visits are not always an Accurate gage of a venue. BUT - I will say that the sardines, Estia chips(thin sliced eggplant and zucchini deep fried) and Greek salad was outstanding. Add a nice acoustic duo on a wed night and some decent HH pours - well you get the idea. read more

We ate here with my husband and my son and we're somewhat disappointed with our experience. Our server said she had been there for seven years and I was very surprised. She wasn't very attentive. When I asked her to recommend a bottle of Greek sav blanc, she recommended the MOST expensive bottle ($90!) on the list. This was such a turn-off! Then, we ordered 4 appetizers and a whole fish that she said weighed 2 lbs and assured us that it would be perfect, along with the two sides and all of the apps. She then returned to tell us that the 2 lb fish @ $50/lb was only available in a 3 lb size. We had no choice, since we really all wanted the whole fish and that's what they're known for. So now the $100 fish turned into $150 fish! She clearly was really trying hard to boost up our check. She also insisted that we had to order our entire meal at one time, for some odd reason. She then disappeared once we got our apps. We had to refill our own wine and ask for more bread, then we had to flag down other servers to ask for salt and pepper (fish had no taste and was full of bones!). For those prices, we expected no bones! She asked us 3 times if we wanted dessert. Isn't one "No dessert, please," enough? This was a disappointing experience, especially since we'd eaten here twice before and had two great meals. We won't be returning to this location. read more

We went for a birthday celebration, and they couldn't have been nicer. Most restaurants forget or don't even read the note regarding a birthday celebration. Upon our arrival, Estia wished us a happy birthday and had a card and candle for us. The food was also excellent. One of our friends is Greek, and he loved the lemon chicken soup and lamb shank. The vegetarian entrée with eggplant was delicious as was the moussaka. We'd also strongly recommend the Greek old fashioned! Cheers! read more

I married a Greek girl and have learned to really like the food. Estia does it well. We had pitas with numerous dips (hummus and peppers were great. For the entrée I had the lamb with tzatziki (you can tell a lot about a Greek restaurant by its tzatziki- there was really good) and Greek potatoes. Very tasty. I highly recommend read more

Only reviewing the bar. Stopped in for a glass of wine on the way to the airport. The bar area itself was a bit unappealing as you could see into the kitchen and there was a bad smell. The bartender was very pleasant and allowed us to sample a few wines. The wines were not very good. I do not recommend this as a bar. Thought it would be better based on the size and the prominence of the bar inside the restaurant. read more

Food was good as always. Service was comically slow. Room was so cold most patrons were wearing their jackets. One poor fellow even had his ski cap on. In this case we were a few gals happy to chat the night away but under other circumstances we would have been very unhappy. read more

I've been here at least a dozen times. To be honest I am often on someone else's dime, but have been on my own as well. I've never been let down by the food or service, both small and large groups. I look forward to the octopus appetizer every time. The zucchini chips are always a good table appetizer as well. I've only had fish entrees and have tried many styles, always to my satisfaction. Estia, outside of business dinners, is more of a special occasion destination given the cost. But worth the visit. read more

I went to dinner here and anyone who is vegetarian and doesn't eat fried oily food must skip this restaurant The dolomates were soaked in oil and not very flavorful Spanakopita lacked flavor but had lots of oil Eggplant entree - it was a giant piece of Eggplant and some onion and tomato on top, I couldn't even eat it because my stomach was uneasy from the previous food and it looked inedible Baklava - inedible and no crisp but full of sugar liquid read more

I will have to say that I will not be coming back to this restaurant again. I am not sure what has happened recently but unfortunately the management has really declined. We were frequent to Estia in Philly and love Greek food but because of the terrible service in Radnor we not be giving it another chance. Firstly, the hostess was not very accommodating as we had a reservation and we wanted a hightop. We asked if we could get a drink at the bar first and she said "she couldn't guarantee that the table will still be available if we get a drink". After all it was available. The server was okay. Wasn't terrible but wasn't great. Accidentally spit on me a few times. No personality and never mentioned his name. The bartender was actually a friendly familiar face from another establishment that we would frequent. At the end he was the only one that apologized to us for the terrible service we received. The representing "manager" Neil Ross is the absolute worst individual that I have ever met in hospitality. He was not actually a manager. The card he gave me labeled him as a "Sommelier". He may have just been a fill in for the night but he was terrible. Our night was already emotional as we were consoling friends that had suffered a loss of a mother. After someone accidentally spilled a glass of water from giving a hug, he actually then accused us of being drunk and blamed the server and bartender that they made the call. We explained what happened and he said "im sorry about your loss but thats not the point". He was rude, defensive, and literally pointing fingers at everyone. He should not be someone in hospitality let alone in a managerial position. He gave us our check and forced us to wait outside for our Uber. I sent an email to the actual general manager- Gina Geyner and copied Neil Ross. This was a week ago with no response at all. I was very surprised at this. The food here is actually good but the service is the worst I've ever experienced and the management is unprofessional. For that, we will not be back. There are many more restaurants in KOP and in the Main Line to have to put up with such terrible service and disrespect. read more

The food used to be great, but has fallen off during quarantine. They are absurdly overpriced and stingy. When you eat in the restaurant it is hard upsell, with the waiters suggesting all sorts of things that add to the bill. They even charge for bread when you order takeout. Really? You need that extra $1 for five tiny slices of baguette? The fish dishes are tiny and the prices really high. Fried zucchini and eggplant chips are $18. We almost never eat here anymore because of the cost. Last takeout meal we ordered had a couple of items that were just not right. No apology, just a defensive manager who told us we needed to bring back in any food if we wanted a credit because "the owners didn't like [him] giving money back." The owners are just lost a family of longtime regulars - never again. read more

Estia Taverna- Radnor - Lovely meal and friendly service here. We ordered the octopus that had a fava puree - extremely delicious and cooked to perfection. Octopus is a very difficult dish to execute well... it comes out slightly rubbery at about half the places I order it from. It was so tender and seasoned perfectly. The crab cake was also delicious. For entrees we got the lamb shank with Orzo which was very delicious. At my server's suggestions, I got the TSIPOURA which is a "Royal Dorado," firm, mild white fish - the sauce on it was very nice but I didn't like the taste of the actual fish so our server brought me the seared tuna with tons of sauteed spinach instead - very tasty. The ambience here really does transport you to the Aegean sea - both inside and out. They have a very lovely outside setup. Overall, a very delicious meal and would love to go back. read more

I regret to say that Estia in Radnor was disappointing for me. I've been to the Philadelphia and New Jersey locations. Therefore, I felt confident in knowing what to expect. I gave Estia in Radnor 2 stars mostly due to my server. He was not entirely knowledgeable about the company ethics and didn't do a great job of food promotion. I asked him if they had the New Zealand mussels (which are amazing!). He said they did. Unfortunately, he has no idea and brought out PEI mussels. He was not sensitive to and made me feel rushed from start to finish. He basically appeared unhappy to be working. The food runners also appeared to be unhappy. They just put the food on the table without any awesomeness of table space or whether I was finished a dish or needed something. On a positive note. The food was good. Not really what I'm used to from the other locations, but not bad. Radnor also has a very nice setting and decor. The hosts were very nice and accommodating upon my arrival and departure. Parking is plentiful behind the restaurant. Overall, for me it was not a great service experience. I am willing to go back. I hope not to have the same server (tall, overweight Hispanic male). I wished they had the New Zealand mussels (maybe they never did, but he should've said so). read more

Food is very good here. But why does the hostess put us next to a table that's occupied when there are plenty of open seats? And this is mid afternoon when the tables are no booked. I want to enjoy my meal and I don't want to whisper to avoid having my conversation overheard. A little space please! read more

Really like this place. It has a bright and airy decor and a lively atmosphere. The hummus is great as is the grilled octopus. However I do think they could be more generous on the octopus and less so on the onions. Cocktails and wine are both well done and well priced. Our entrees were generous, very tasty and presented with a refined, but rustic flair. Was hoping for a bit more creativity with desserts, but I suppose they are sticking with more traditional Greek approach. This place is good for families and groups of friends. read more

One of the worst dining experiences I have had in a very long time. Food was bland, no flavor. Best thing about this restaurant was the salad. Was suppressed to try here by a friend and am highly disappointed. Oysters had lots of cracked shell in them. Server was mediocre at best with an attitude that matched the food. Waste of calories, money, and time. Will not be returning. read more

Great sister restaurant to the South Broad St version near the Academy of Music. The burbs have proven there a clientele for this type of restaurant and I'm glad it's a success. The food is always good, cocktails too. The service is attentive and consistently good. Located in Radnor on the eve of Lincoln Financial center and across from Radnor High. Good place to bring guests. read more

What a great restaurant. From service to food quality to the amazing valet and drinks...this place nailed it! It's not very often you compliment the valet service, but this guy was insane talented. He has a very tough crowd to please with Bentley's, Porsche's and Bimmer's and Benzos. Somehow this guy monitors the status of everyone and cools the car off while you are finished with dinner. He remembered my somewhat complicated last name without writing it down. Guy might be a CEO some day. We had a great waiter Adam. Description and display of the fresh fish and other seafood was educational and impressive. Good dude too, hard on the upsell, but such is life. Food was exceptional. Tuna Tartar, octopus, crab cake and prawns were really good. Came for the octopus, but more impressed with the prawns and crab cake...big chunks of crab and little filler. Wine selection was solid. Will absolutely come back. read more

4/5 on food, 0/5 on service. My family and I dined here for my mother's birthday last night. Our waiter was so arrogant and passive aggressive it ruined the entire experience for us. He started by walking us through the menu, focusing on the fish, steak and lamb chops. He came back 3 times in the span of about 2 minutes asking if we were ready to order yet - meanwhile two people in our party were in the restroom so the answer was no, we weren't ready. When we were all present, I asked what his favorite thing on the menu was to which he responded, "I just told you a few minutes ago". Actually bro, you didn't fell me your favorite thing, you just told me what dishes Estia is known for. Last but not least, as we finished up our coffee/dessert and my mom opened 2 gifts (after we paid the bill), he came by multiple times either giving the side eye or asking if we needed anything else, which was basically another way of saying "can you leave?". So a $400 dinner and $80 tip later, we were being rushed out. This place has zero respect for the hard earned money people are spending In their restaurant. I have no problem spending $$ on great food but not at the expense of service. I won't be returning. read more

Really excellent food, have enjoyed nearly everything on this Med/Greek menu. Service is efficient and friendly. Reliable go-to for dinner.

Estia is a nice Greek restaurant with quiet but pleasant outdoor seating. Ambiance: Passable but nothing to write home about. The restaurant is nice on the inside - reminiscent of a European vineyard in the countryside. While the outside seating doesn't have much of a view, I enjoyed the fresh air and thoughtful placement of awnings to protect from the afternoon soon. Food: This was my first experience with Greek food so I had to try a bit of everything. I very much enjoyed the Cheese Saganaki (served flaming) and Mediterranean Spreads which served as my introduction to Greek flavors. As expected, there are lots of whole fish options for entrees - especially for fans of white fish. I enjoyed the Lamb which was good but came in a very European portion - not a bad thing given all of the appetizers we ordered! While I can't compare this to other Greek Food, I can say I liked everything I ate fine enough. Drink: Large and well curated draft beer selection. They also have an extensive wine by the glass list. Cocktails are for the most part Greek spins on classic cocktails and are decently priced - much cheaper than what you'd find in the city. Service: Service is where Estia really lacks. Our waiter seemed to disappear between courses and we had to flag down other staff to get refills on our drinks/boxes. Food also came out very slow - there was a 45 minute gap between our appetizers and our entrees. Value: This place is expensive - expect to spend at least $50 per person for dinner + drinks. The service was not reflective of the price, hence why Estia is only 3 stars for me. Ultimately, the value will depend on how much you like Greek food - I would only go back if I were specifically craving something from the menu. read more

I have eaten at Estia 30 times. I also crave the octopus. I thought it was the best octopus around. I ordered the octopus and the sea bass Sunday night. The octopus was raw, slimy, and chewy. It was beyond gross and the WORST octopus I have ever had. The sea bass was very mediocre and not worth $49. The bartender had an attitude too. Estia is way too expensive for what it serves. I don't think I will go back. read more

BRUNCH REVIEW: Great food if you can afford it, but the brunch is solid but not exceptional. After visiting the location in Philadelphia, my girlfriend and I came to the more laid back Taverna location in Wayne, PA. The interior is beautiful - lots of wood, a large spacious bar area and decor that is both old-fashioned yet still modern. We came on a Sunday for Brunch right when they opened, and the restaurant was mostly empty. Service was top-notch. We ordered the Octopus appetizer ($17), Mediterranean octopus charcoal grilled served on top of fava puree, the Avga Spanakia ($13), a three egg omelet featuring a traditional combination of spinach, leeks, feta, tomato, and scallions served in a cast iron skillet, and the Avga Me Kreas ($14), a country style omelet served in a skillet with bacon, sausage, potatoes, kefalograviera and kasseri cheese. The best of the bunch was the Octopus which was cooked tender on top of a scrumptious fava puree. The cast iron omelets were just okay, with the Avga Spanakia being the best of the two, the creamy spinach reminiscent of spanakopita. And we of course enjoyed the $5 mimosas (a little weak) and bloody marys (a good deal). Overall, the brunch here was pretty good, if a bit pricey, but not extraordinary. There are better deals with better brunch options at other places nearby, but if you get a gift card or want a classier brunch in a nice location, Estia Greek Taverna will satisfy. read more

The food is so fresh and amazing!! Only downside is that everything is very over priced. If you can go for happy hour definitely do that because the deals are great. The Greek salad is a must get!!

If you've ever been to Estia in Center City, I can tell you now that Estia Taverna is basically the same restaurant, but the prices for many of the menu items are lesser in comparison to Estia in Center City. In addition, the restaurant itself is smaller, but the quality of the food is very much the same. We were able to book a reservation for two at 7:30pm the day before with no issue. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation and we're seated immediately. Our server was very nice and helpful. She informed us of the specials and even had some good recommendations. I ordered the lamb chops, which are so good. The dish is three lamb chops marinated in olive oil, fresh herbs and lemon, served with Greek fried potatoes. The fried potatoes sort of take away from the elegance of the experience, but they are good. My wife ordered the chilean sea bass plaki. It's so delicious. Definitely one of the best I've tasted. For dessert, we went with the Karidopita, which is a honey walnut cake with cinnamon lemon syrup and candied orange zest served with vanillo gelato. It was also very delicious. Usually, when I eat at Greek/Mediterranean restaurants, I order baklava for dessert. The baklava at Estia Taverna includes pistachios, walnuts and caramel sauce. It seemed different from what I'm used, therefore, I decided not to take a chance. Next time, I think I'll try it. read more

I went in for lunch at the bar. Bartender looked lost and didn't offer me a drink to start or hand me a lunch menu. Ordered an iced tea and had to ask for sweetener. Ordered my entree and was asked if I wanted hummus and bread in which I replied yes. When my food came out I had to ask for silverware and napkin. By now my drink was empty and had to ask for a refill. Halfway through my entree the hummus and bread made it out from the kitchen which I sent back so it didn't go to waste. I usually get good food and service but not this time. read more
