Inviting atmosphere, unique drinks, delicious food and impeccable service. I share this dining experience with friends and family, and a few times with just my laptop.
The food was excellent once again. Great rolls come with your meal. We sat out on the patio and it was a beautiful day with great food
all three of us had the lobster risotto which was a nice portion. sadly it had no taste and we all ate the shrimp and lobster. the taziki with pita and shrimp cervichi was delicious.
Coconut ceviche was delish as well as the fried olive appetizers. Clean and neat restaurant, great service! Must try!
We had an exceptional dinner at Elia! Food was great-shout out to the fried olives, spanakopita (crunchy and savory!) and the (3) dips appetizer were family faves. For entrees the standouts were the lamb shank-generous portion size and perfectly cooked; halibut-loved the sauce and barley and the lamb chops-perfectly cooked and the roasted veggies were tasty. The service was attentive and they offered great tips ( I wanted to order 3 portions of the dip apps and server suggested 2 would be enough for our group of 9, no upselling and he was right, plenty of food.) We were a big group of 9 and felt the staff were attentive and didn't rush service. They are consistent, we have been back 3 types with different size groups and have always been very happy with food and service.
I put celebrating birthday when I book the reservation. Upon check in, the receptionist reconfirm if we are celebrating anything and we said yes, birthday. It was disappointed to see the 2 desserts I ordered did not come with a candle or a hand written happy birthday words on the plate. Food is ok, not wow. Service was very slow. We need to ask a few times before getting our check.
We love this place!!!! Great food, great atmosphere, attentive service. It's not inexpensive, but it's worth the price. I had the lamb chops and they were very fresh. My wife had the halibut and the fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce was amazing. Salads were fresh and crisp. Can't wait to go back!!!
First I'll say I've been many times and the staff is fabulous, decor +++ and the food delicious, creatively prepared and such variety like the fresh sea bass ceviche served in fresh coconut shell with a glass of the fresh coconut milk in a glass on the tray. Presentation with the coconut bubble blown on top was fun too! The grilled shrimp, grilled artichoke and grilled lamb riblets along with the wonderful bread made for a delightful lunch!
We used to really enjoy Elia. Last night the seafood and meat was all overcooked and tough in each dish we ordered. The bread was cold and tough. Seems their chef changed, or something else has contributed to low quality. We were disappointed.
The food, service and environment was amazing. We felt like we were in Greece at a Santorini cafe.

Staff were engaging, very attentive, yet not intrusive. Food was amazing as always from appetizer to dessert. The short ribs fell apart with the slightest effort and the filet mignon exactly as ordered medium rare with amazing roasted peppery/smokey flavor. One of our favorite restaurants.
If you ever have a chance to eat on their patio next to the fire. DO IT! The staging is done with such elegance that it felt like we were eating in a Michelin grade restaurant. The coconut ceviche is so good! It even came IN A COCONUT!

great Greek cuisine...love the octopus, the yogurt cheese cake was delicious. Great service no rushing.
Was so excited but sadly this place is not worth the hype. They are totally overwhelmed and slow with the service. Forget orders and deliver more stress than an authentic Mediterranean vibe. Would not go there again. Also way too pricey for what it is.
