The WORST Service!!! The server recommended a salad loaded with cucumbers after I shared that I didn’t like them, couldn’t get an ice tea refill (even when slurping an empty glass on purpose in front of server), left a dozen oysters setting on bar untouched and no one cared enough to ask if they was an issue. The pros: the calamari was good, but a little under cooked. (the spicy marinara that comes with it is NOT spicy). Ordered the oysters since the server said it came with saltines (maybe unusual for the area), but this was the deciding factor for me to order them. They never came. When paying the bill, there was no inquiry to the service, which exemplifies the “don’t care attitude” I experienced. There was a person picking up a to-go order and it was messed up and she was waiting for it to be corrected. Seemed I was not the only person experiencing poor service! Never again for me!

The staff and the two hostesses were very rude when me and a friend tried to get a table there. It was 6pm and we were told that we have to wait at least an hour to get a table. We would have understood if the place was actually full but it wasnt. All the tables outside were empty. We were then told by a waiter that we could get drinks from the bar and sit outside. We did that. Then another waiter came to ask if we wanted to order food. But one of the hostesses came up to the waiter and said that we cannot order as she told us to wait another hour to order. It was an absolute disgrace! It is a very expensive place with very average food anyways. The decor inside is the only good thing. I have never seen staff being this rude and unorganized in a restaurant.

Radnor location: great food but on pricey side. Service staff was excellent and attentive. Had the swordfish kababs ($30) while my son had the filet ($54) which was 14 oz. and cooked to perfection. Pretty much nothing comes with a side so you may want to ask before ordering. They had a pretty good list of beers on draught and a great wine selection. Desert consisted of Greek coffee and a slice of Greek cheese cake which was out of his world. The big upside to this location is there is plenty of parking including optional valet parking. The big downside is your only view from the restaurant is the parking lot. My wife has been to the downtown Philly location and thinks the food is better there.

Ill make this a quick review. Got there at 1:00 . Except for a rather large party ( I was told about 50 people )the rest of the place was empty. We ordered apps. very simple easy dishes. Not only did it take about 50 min for our food it was cold ! And very under cooked . We sent it back which I never do .Long story short . I didnt need to hear from the manager that the chief cut the top of his finger and had to leave, EWWWWW. Our waitress was so sweet and felt terrible. They didnt charge us . My all time very favorite Greek restaurant SOUTH STREET SOUVLAKI. If you want REAL GREEK FOOD !!!!

You like looking out the window into a sea of parked cars? You like being shoehorned into a dining room with three too many tables so that youre pushed up against the exterior glass like a goldfish grown too big for its aquarium? You like noise levels that parallel a Who concert? You like mediocre food and sloppy service (food is served over the left shoulder, kids, not slung across the table). You like watching the Main Line pick up scene unfold in all its tawdriness? Then by all means, stop in. Valet parking is a nice touch.

Tried their online ordering, didnt quite go as well as anticipated. In their defense it was the second day the system was up, bugs are to be expected, the food has the right flavor and spices but isnt quite the exact style it would be made by native Greeks for everything, but overall they got it right for the most part. Kind service and a good atmosphere. Nice place overall but I still wanna try more of their menu before I can say if i really love it or not, but would definitely recommend to others to try out

The food is excellent ! I dont know why they even rate 3 stars. Those are people who do not have a clue or knowledge about Greek food ! As for the price? You get what you pay for ! You dont like it go to Mcdonalds to your junk food and eat for a dollar. The closest you are going to get to Greek food when it comes to original. The fish are excelent especially the Lavraki my favorite and the mussels. This comment Is from a Greek from Greece !

Estia used to be great and we spent a fortune there but the last 3 times Ive eaten there the Karavides were inedible mush (having been frozen and thawed at least twice) but sold at premium "fresh" prices. The Greek Salad is incredible and is the only value proposition there. Beware the bartender was just arrested for dealing cocaine from the bar so Estia may not be on the up-and-up.

I went to Estia on the recommendation of a local Barber. It was great! I love Greek food and Estia is so good, I might go back before I head back to Wisconsin. I only had some appetizers the Saganaki and meatballs, but I was interested in the shrimp and orzo. If it had been a Saturday I would have ordered the Lamb Shanks for sure. The atmosphere is pretty awesome too.

Grilled octopus appetizer is to die for. Order it!! Great decor, service, wine selections, outdoor seating, fresh fish. Watch out for high prices on the fresh fish by the pound entrees. The costs can skyrocket quickly. The regular menu fish dishes are reasonable and just as fresh. Great Radnor addition and as tasty as their downtown location.

Decent food but it doesnt compare to real Greek food. The decor is lovely but its not a great atmosphere. The worst part is the staff. Its so expensive and the staff is so rude and unprofessional. I do not think its worth it and I will never be coming here again. The only reason I gave it a 2 is because the food wasnt TERRIBLE and the decor was nice.

Been twice now. It may be strike three and your out. Its new to the area so giving it a chance. Tonight our party of six ordered starters and entrees which included lamb chops and the sirloin steak...both very undercooked. Asked for medium and got rare...barley edible. Service was fine.but will be hard pressed to go back

First time at this restaurant. Great time. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Only negative was that is was a little noisy. From seafood to steak to apps to dessert. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone and we would definitely go back. It also was a 25 mile trip for us to get there.

Not a lot of food choices in the area when you avoid chains. Estia had a typical seafood atmosphere. Wine list was fantastic. Food was very good. Their outdoor space was along the parking lot (just a heads up). Their cocktails were watered down. A little overpriced but happy hour might be worth it.
