Best Greek Restaurants in University City

We have been patrons at this exquisite restaurant since its opening years ago. We have never been disappointed. The main problem is being able to order only one entree! Our most recent visit was a classic experience: perfectly prepared fresh European seal bass, grilled shrimp with orzo (just like a similar dish we recently had in Santorini), avgolemono soup, hummus with perfectly toasted bread, and fabulous Greek orange wine. We traded our disappointment that the usual tuna tartare appy was reworked into a tuna, avocado,and salmon offering with pure joy once we tried it. A wonderful changeup and the new standard for any similar dish. And the modified baklava, now served as pinwheels, was beyond memorable. So blessed that we live nearby and can always count on Estia for fresh fish, traditional Greek fare, exquisitely prepared appetizers, and great cocktails. A bonus is service by Deanna who made our visit even more memorable. She has tremendous knowledge about the menu and her warm and friendly personality was the honey on the baklava! It was not a surprise that the restaurant is almost always full, especially the bar which is a joy when our mood is appys and drinks. ευχαριστώ

We dined at Estia prior to attending a nearby concert. We have dined here before and have always been pleased. We chose to order from the theater menu. All of the courses were delicious. The server did a very noce job of pairing wines with our various courses. Highlights were the spanokoptia, lamb chops and baklava. We'll certainly return soon.

Our waitress Brooke was so awesome! Super friendly and made sure we were well taken care of the whole time. Will def be back with a larger group next time.

Just perfect as always: great service, amazing Mediterranean food made to perfection!

Good and service were great! Music was too loud which made it difficult to hear when trying to have a conversation.
