Estia in Center City Philadelphia has been slipping in
Estia in Center City Philadelphia has been slipping in quality for awhile now. The tomato salad was tasty but heavily salted. The next dish was the octopus which had a heavy smell of an unclean grill. After returning it, the next replacement dish was
What a find! We stumbled onto what I believe was the best
What a find! We stumbled onto what I believe was the best Greek food presentation I've had in ten years. The Greek Salad was perfect, with fabulous heirloom tomatoes. The Octopus was the best I have ever experience, instead of of being cut in

Excellent Greek food with classy atmosphere
Wonderful Greek restaurant! Large restaurant with a cozy feeling. Server was excellent - she gave us a great rundown on the authentic Greek dishes. The food was fantastic!!
Overpriced Greek restaurant
Friendly staff, but meal was overpriced. Food did not seem freshly prepared; probably frozen. Spanakopita and Lamb shank were dry and bland.

The dining room is clean and nicely appointed. We did not feel like we were still in Philly! The food and drinks were excellent and our server was very helpful in making suggestions. The service was a somewhat slow in preparing our drinks and getting
Have loved both my visits to this phenomenal restaurant!
Have loved both my visits to this phenomenal restaurant! The staff is so kind and accommodating. The food is a 10/10. The red pepper hummus, the sea bass, the baklava... all great. The restaurant itself is romantic and feels just like you're in
Fine dining place right in the theater district.
Better food quality than the modern version next door in my opinion, more traditional. The service could be slow, so if you are going to a show after dinner, plan for enough time. We tried multiple apps (salad, hummus spreads, octopus), entrees and s
Swordfish and Salmon
Stopped and had a nice light dinner at Estia after work today. My husband had the swordfish and I had the salmon. We shared a delicious tomato and feta salad. The restaurant was a bit crowded due to the avant-théâtre goers, but we had great serv

Great food and service
To start, the food is delicious, really good, and the service is fantastic. My sister and I came here for happy hour. They have a great selection of HH food and drinks. The drink prices are a good value and the pomegranate margaritas are so delicious
Fantastic food and service
Great BDay dinner. We lucked out and snagged a reservation on a very busy weekend and we were so happy. Food was delicious and service was outstanding. Very popular place that I highly recommend.
Really Good
We have walked past this restaurant in the city many times over the years, never having eaten there until this year. After a theatre show, we gave it a try for the first time, and it was absolutely wonderful. It was very busy on a Saturday evening; t
Underwhelming and Overpriced

Very Poorly Treats 84-Year Old Clientele
I strongly recommend folks not give this establishment their business. Our entire family attended a 90th birthday party there. Towards the end of the party, the legs of one of the tables folded and the table partially fell on two elderly attendees
One of the BEST Greek/Mediterranean restaurants I have been
One of the BEST Greek/Mediterranean restaurants I have been to...period! From the calamari to the hummus to the Greek salad and spanakopita...everything was delicious! Our main entrees were lamb chops with Greek potatoes. Phenomenal flavor, taste

Not relaxing.
Quite expensive and overall, good, but expensive. Felt very hurried and it's annoying when a waiter (even if he's been there for 20 years) finishes your sentences, telling you what you want to eat. "Desert, baklava of course." No. Not the w
One of my favorite restaurants I go to in the city.
The quality of the food is amazing and the staff is just great. They are so hospitable, especially this one Greek man that was taking care of me during my birthday. I highly recommend! Great for groups and reservations are quite easy. Not sure how it

Great service, OUTSTANDING FOOD! So good I almost forgot to take photos. The seating space excellent as well. I have nothing to say about this place except that my wife and I really enjoyed the food/meals. Will definitely be coming back to try other
Perfect place for pre-theater, pre-orchestra meal.
They have a reasonable pre-theater prix fixe menu. Expert and warm service, delicious food -- the lamp chops were excellent. As was tasty Greek salad and perfectly crispy on the outside, moist on the inside roast chicken. Don't miss the lemony potato

Made reservations thinking Estia was an Italian restaurant, but to our surprise turned out to be one the best meals I've had. If you're ever in Philly Estia is a MUST!!!

This establishment is located near city hall in downtown Philly. It offers a great atmosphere and ambience, but more importantly, the Greek cuisine served here is terrific. It provides a pre-set option of three course meal at a set price. Entrees

The food here is excellent, which is probably why this place has lasted so long. Ambiance not bad either, for what it is. However, the service is inconsistent, unfortunately; in my recent visits within the past few months, service has ranged from exc
Do NOT order off the theater menu dinner.
The server talked us into ordering it and led us to believe that what we ordered was included in the 40.00 amount. She even stated, I do not know why people do the 60.00 restaurant week menu because the theater menu is much cheaper. Even worse was
Authentic Greek Mediterranean Spot in Philadelphia.
Estia! This restaurant is beautiful and always has been. Its exquisitely decorated with white washed wood and exposed beams and stone. The open bar and kitchen create an inviting vibe to watch all the action. The staff is attentive, helpful and exp

Perfect Pre-Theater Treat of a Meal!
Terrific spot for pre-theater food! A completely charming atmosphere with incredibly attentive and quick service! I would recommend the Theater Menu... I opted for an incredible Romaine Salad, Shrimp Soulvaki, and a lemon sorbet. You can't beat the d

Nice dinner spot
Great service and food in a nice setting. We enjoyed the octopus and eggplant chips as appetizers, and halibut and the whole fish sea bass. Everything was really good. Would definitely recommend!

We had a great waiter, Saki, ask for him. We had octopus, lamb chops, fish, all of which were delicious and expertly prepared.

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Estia Restaurant Philadelphia. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Estia Restaurant Philadelphia at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Estia Restaurant Philadelphia page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Estia Restaurant Philadelphia to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Estia Restaurant Philadelphia!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
