    Best hummus ever! The Lavraki is a favorite choice every time I go to Estia and it doesn’t disappoint. Crispy filet of fish yielding tender and moist meat. Horta and the Estia eggplant tower with tzatziki sauce were excellent accompaniments

    We were running late and the hostess was able to accommodate our new schedule. As soon as we arrived we were seated. We had theater tickets and our waitress made sure we got through dinner on time. Betty was amazing. We were able to get vegetables for the hummus for the gluten free people. The theater menu was perfect. Food was delicious and service was top notch. Highly recommend this location.

    Fantastic find. Restaurant is mostly seafood based but everything we had was delicious. The mussel appetizer tasted fresh with unique flavors. The Greek salad brought back memories of our time on Crete and our entrees (sea bass & halibut) were perfectly prepared and every bite worth savoring. We will definitely return soon.
