The menu features elevated Greek cuisine, with standout dishes like the grilled octopus appetizer. While some diners found the complimentary bread to be dense, others enjoyed the food overall. The service has been reported as both attentive and lacking, with some experiencing delays in receiving their dessert menus.
Elia offers a friendly service, a lively ambiance with live music and DJ, and a diverse menu featuring popular dishes such as lavraki, chicken souvlaki, lamb riblets, zucchini cakes, octopus, and Greek salad. The restaurant provides a cozy setting for date nights, with outdoor seating and amenities like heaters and blankets. The menu is easy to navigate, and the food is generally well-seasoned and fresh, though the lobster pasta could use more flavor.
