Fish rule at this Greek restaurant, which has so much more to offer than just pre-theater meals. (The Academy of Music is right across the street.) This stone-and-wood-laden eatery excels at simply grilling whole fish over charcoal, and offers uncommon Mediterranean varieties, like a lethrini from the snapper family and royal dorado. The fried potato side dish and lemony Greek salad have created Estia devotees for life.

Review
The atmosphere of this restaurant is very inviting! It has a very warm & cozy feeling as you walk thru mediterranean stone walls. The size of this restaurant will amaze you. Don't let the main dining room fool you. This place is BIG! They have several private rooms for parties and/or functions and the all decor is rustic but remains very classy. (be sure to check out the basement bar)
The food was very flavorful and delicious. I would highly recommend the grilled octopus to start along with a bottle of chilled white wine. If you like fish, this is your place. Estia has many different fishes to choose from
Don't forget about the traditional greek dishes such as the moussaka (beef casserole) and the spanakopita. Be sure you save enough room for the dessert. The honey drenched Baklava is sure to crave any sweet tooth desire. Our server, was great and very educated on the dishes they serve. I would definitely go back.
