This restaurant never disappoints. Food is fresh, hot and consistent. If you like Mediterranean food, you must try Estia. The atmosphere is definitely Mediterranean, cozy and welcoming. Great for families, even better for date night.

Great atmosphere for Valentine's Day. As it was dim but lit and love was in the air. Friendly and informative staff tending to tables. Recieved specials and great explanations of food and drink options. Delightful experience. Highly Recommended, we had great appetizers and the tuna and swordfish were prepared well.

I had trouble trying to figure out just where Estia Taverna was located from the pictures on Google Maps so I promised myself that the first thing I would do when I got there, was to take some pictures from the outside. Now to the beautifully presented and prepared dishes on the menu which were beyond my imaginings. The bland descriptions of the culinary delights on the menu left a lot to be desired but trust me, you can't go wrong ordering anything listed! The grilled shrimp entrée was amazing and perfectly marinated; they simply serve really good food presented like works of art. The wait staff was cordial, busy and efficient.

Brought my Wife here for her Birthday last night. By far the best meal my wife and I have had in Jersey since we moved here last year. The staff is very friendly and the cooks know their stuff. The overall environment is fantastic. I highly recommend coming here and definitely will becoming a regular. Thanks for the great food!

We have been consistent patrons of Estia since it’s opening. So sad to see such a rapid decline in service. We waited for a waitress and finally gave up and ordered our own drinks from the bar. Our salad came AFTER we finished all of our food. We never saw the waitress again after our initial order. Forget about a second drink ! We understand that good help is hard to find but the level of service we received certainly won’t be forgotten the next time we consider coming here. Such a shame since their food is usually wonderful. Hope Estia reads this review and fixes this problem.

Dined here this past week for my moms birthday and let’s just say our experience was amazing! The food, ambiance, and even our server Diana was great! We definitely will be returning in the near future!

Went there for happy hour. Great bartenders and delicious grilled octopus. Once you stray off the happy hour menu it gets expensive, but I heard that their lamb chops are delicious. Neat looking building inside as well

I came to this restaurant when it was an Italian place. I had no idea it changed to a Greek restaurant. I sat down. Looked at the menu and had no idea what to order. So, I ordered the Grilled Salmon. Well, it was the best Grilled Salmon I’ve had out yet. It was cooked perfectly. And the Spinach Rice melted in my mouth. That was a surprise side dish. Never enjoyed rice and spinach so much. I’m so glad I stopped in last Friday. Will go there again and again. Service was awesome even on a busy Friday night.

I've had the pleasure of dining at Estia Taverna a few times and consistently loved it! My last time there was for a business dinner. Everyone njoyed how fresh each selection was and how amazing and attentive the staff were. I highly recommend you visit!!

Exceptional work experience with my COI. In the comfort of this amazing space we were able to share ideas for 2023. My Insurance Agent Partner , My Attorney Partner, My Accountant Partner and yours truly the Banker Partner were able to meet over meal to discuss business plans for each of our businesses and how as specialized partners we can contribute to each other business and help each other be successful. Thanks to the Estia team for facilitating this process. The food choices were great, the cocktails were fantastic and yes the appetizers and desserts were beyond tantalizing providing a huge treat for all of our tastebuds. The layout of this space has an ancient feel, with a touch of modern design and accent for that warm Greek style and feel. I especially love the restroom and particularly like that from any angle of the restroom the kitchen was visible. Overall my partners and I were well pleased ❤️💥🎉❤️‍🔥

Small interior. Food was 8/10. Delicious prawns, delicious lamb chops, and the grilled octopus was also amazing. Will return!

My beautiful family we had great great food here. The lamb , the oysters a1 and the crab cake

Wonderful dining experience. Food was delicious! All the appetizers: Estia chips, octopus, fried calamari w spicy marinara, lemon hummus w/fresh bread, tzaziki etc were excellent. Roast chicken and lambchops, desserts were phenomenal. Drinks are creative, loved my sour cherry margaritas. Service was attentive. The place itself has a large bar and nice architectural design. My new favorite place.

Excellent food and atmosphere. Breading on the calamari appetizer was very light and well seasoned. Not chewy. Saganaki was perfect. Lamb chop entree was more medium than I asked for but still incredibly delicious and super tender. Would have given 5 stars but the service wasn't super great. I think the waitress was over seated in her section, so not entirely her fault. Will absolutely be returning!

Love the food at Estia! I've been coming for a few years and brought a friend for dinner last night. It was her first time and she absolutely loved it. We had the Estia chips (not pictured), Lavraki, Tuna and then the Greek cheesecake for dessert. The food was amazing as usual! Our server was so nice and helpful. Can't wait to go back soon!

I came here with my husband for our anniversary, and it was such a lovely experience! Our server was so helpful, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had the calamari as an appetizer and it was honestly the best calamari I’ve ever had. I ordered the sea bass and it was so soft and flavorful, and my husband’s lamb shank was tender and tasty. They brought us complementary Greek almond cookies for dessert that were also amazing. We will definitely be coming here again!

Absolutely the best, beautiful place, excellent food and our server, Selma, was great, she really knew the menu and paired it with excellent wine suggestions. We celebrated a birthday so Selma surprised us with a beautiful dish with the most delicious Greek cheesecake and some cookies that are to die for. Their seafood is top quality, try the oysters, shrimp cocktail or just go for their grilled octopus. Even the fries are sensational. You can't go wrong with any entree, something for every taste. Whole fish (any) will be great. A friend had the lamb chops and I had the tuna (served rare) it was wonderful. Romantic date or dinner with the whole family, this place is the best !

I really enjoyed dinner here with my husband. The restaurant was beautiful inside and the staff was wonderful and attentive. I thought the food was good but perhaps a bit overpriced for the quality. It was hard to tell if the recipes were traditional but the food was still very tasty.

Really delicious Greek food in a beautiful restaurant setting! We went on a Saturday night at 8:30 (with a reservation) and it was packed and quite loud, so if that's not your vibe I would recommend maybe a weeknight or earlier in the evening. Our server was very helpful and attentive, refilling our glasses frequently and the food came out quickly. We had the spinach pie, Greek salad with tuna, and pasta ala Grecca, all of which were delicious. The freshly baked crusty bread with hummus that comes with the meal was so tasty too. We got the baklava to go and it was great too! All in all we spent about $55 per person, which considering the quality and quantity of food, I think is definitely fair. When you're at Estia, if you have a seat near the kitchen it's worthwhile to watch the chefs/line cooks working - they are really an impressive team and work with incredible speed!

Our server Minh was awesome! He was so attentive! The presentation and flavors of the food were spot on! Absolutely worth the trip! Thank you for making this trip a memorable one! This was a Christmas gift from my son and his girlfriend. A trip well worth returning back to!

Made a reservation 2 months ago and we were seated in the sunroom (not sure what to call it) next to the wait staff station. Asked to be moved to the next table which they did. Not sure why we could not be seated in the main dining room. Tables were empty for quite awhile. Plus there was a birthday party next to us so the noise level was high. The food was good and our waitress was very attentive. We told her that we were celebrating my husband's birthday. At the end of our meal, they brought out a happy birthday plate with a candle and 4 almond cookies. It was very nice but when we saw the bill, they charged us for the cookies which we did not request. The table location and the charge for the cookies put a damper on the evening. It is a very nice restaurant but the little things are what we remember.

We have been wanting to dine at Estia for a long time. Tried making reservations online for weeks, but it was always too late and reservations were gone. We were thrilled to finally book early enough to be able to enjoy. Upon arrival we were seated at a table that was on the outer perimeter of the seating area. This table should not be here. It's as if it was added just to have one more opportunity to seat someone for money. The drinks ordered were ok, nothing great. The food, what can I say, the seafood looked amazing but was bland as baby food. The moussaka was not something I would ever order again. Needless to say, huge disappointment. With all the amazing restaurants around, we will never return here.

We had the anniversary dinner here and it was memorable! Appetizer, Entree and drinks were all five stars. Highly recommend to visit during happy hour. (Check website for details) The oysters were fresh and sweet. My favorite appetizer would be fried calamari. We ordered Lamp chops and medium-rare was just perfect. The service was quick and friendly. We were glad to have the special dinner at Estia.

I ordered for delivery. The food was delicious and very well seasoned. The octopus was so soft and tender. Everything was amazing. I cannot wait to eat at the restaurant.

I love the ambiance at Estia! We brought our family from NY here and they loved it! We ordered the Estia Chips, Oysters, Greek Meatballs, Grilled Octopus, Greek Salad, Lamb chops, Dolmades, and the Baklava. Everything was delicious! We thought the Estia Chips & Lamb chops were the best. Highly recommend to anyone looking to go out for a special occasion.

Expensive but outstanding food and very good service. Crab cake appetizer excellent. Pasta al Greca with shrimp, and the halibut dish were terrific. Pleasant and competent service. The pits bread and hummus were great. Perfect night!

Went for Happy Hour and they wouldn’t allow us to have the happy hour menu which we came for because there were no seats in the bar area. There was no one in restaurant area but wanted us to pay full price. She said it was corporate decision but then said family owned restaurant. Highly disappointed in a family owned with a corporate mentality. We will never go there again when surrounding area has so many wonderful happy hours in fine restaurants that accommodate all.

This is the second time we have gone here. The food is delicious. The Greek salad is authentic but you actually have to ask for lettuce. Nevertheless it’s super fresh and the dressing is wonderful. If you like lamb chops they are some of the best I’ve ever had. It’s a bit pricey but it seems that the price of food has gone up everywhere. And most important besides the great food our server Chrissy is one of the best most customer service oriented servers we have ever had the pleasure of having. She literally made the dining experience amazing. We will keep coming back and we will keep requesting Chrissy. She works tuesdays and Thursday’s and is literally one of the nicest and most accommodating servers we have ever had.
