    Once again we stopped in for dinner before an evening concert of the Philadelphia Symphony. We were seated in a small but quiet table in a corner as we had requested. And, as usual, we ordered off of the pre-theater menu which is a terrific value and assures that you make the concert with time to spare. The lamb was superb, the desserts to die for, and the tempo of the evening leisurely. It was the perfect balm after a miserable trip down the Skuylkill to get to town. Estia has become our pre-show favorite.

    We dined at Estia on a Thursday evening prior to a concert at the Kimmel Center. We ordered from the pre-theater menu which includes an appetizer, main course, and dessert for $40. I had the meatballs, fish of the day, and the honey walnut cake. My wife had spanakopita, moussaka, and baklava. Everything was delicious and the portions were decent - just the right amount of food for an early dinner. The restaurant is very attractive, with good spacing between the tables. The service was excellent. I highly recommend Estia!

    We came after a concert. This is a great choice for pre or post concerts and plays. Wish you were still open for lunch. Your theater dinner special is a good value. I loved the spanakopita and dorado. My companions enjoyed the shrimp entree. The special included dessert, and we all enjoyed the baklava. Service was fine. The restaurant has always been very pretty. This is a great pre theater favorite for us!

    All aspects of experience were very good. One minor exception is that we didn’t get a shrimp Cocktail and a glass of wine we ordered but it wasn’t on the final bill and did not take away from the overall experience

    We had a great experience! The restaurant is beautiful and the service was excellent! We got the lamb chops and the roasted chicken and loved both of them! We felt satisfied and the food was so fresh and digested well! We will definitely be back again.
