Review: Estia

I love Estia during summer in Adelaide. Getting a table outside is a must so you can see the ocean, it is part of the whole experience.
I must say as far as food goes some dishes are fantastic while others just don’t hit the mark. I do however keep going back for the beachside location, great personal service and those particular dishes I just have to order everytime – zucchini croquettes and lamb fillets.
Estia serves greek food and portions are small and designed to be shared with a group. Ask the wait staff to serve your food progressively as it adds to the whole experience.
On my latest visit to Estia, between 5 of us, we shared 2 serves of Kolokithi - zucchini, feta and onion croquettes, served with tzatziki; Gigandes - lima beans baked with tomato salsa, fennel, garlic, parsley, celery and carrot; Tis Skaras Garithes - prawns marinated in olive oil, garlic and wild fennel, Tis Skaras Octapodi - octopus marinated in olive oil, garlic and black pepper, chargrilled; and 2 serves of Tis Skaras Arnaki - lamb fillets marinated in olive oil, lemon and spices, chargrilled.
The croquettes are totally moreish, yum yum yum, the kind of fried food that brings about the "I could live on these" remark. They go particulary well with a Corona or glass of the Pewsey Vale Reisling. The other item on the menu I just cant resist ordering is the lamb fillets. I’m not a big lamb eater but these don’t have a real strong lamb flavour and again I usually go back for a second order of these. They are absolutely delish!
The rest of the food we ordered was little disappointing. The lima beans didn’t seem like they were cooked enough. The prawns were nice although probably left a tad too long on the grill. The same can be said for the octopus which was rather rubbery.
Despite the variations in quality of food on the menu, I will return to Estia when the sun is out and the wine is chilled. Great location, great service, reasonably priced and some yummy dishes to choose from.
