I was really impressed with the overall ambiance and vibe of the restaurant! I gave 3 stars for the food. I really wanted to love it but the food needs more spices. It was similar to most other Mediterranean restaurants. It could be fantastic if they would take it up a notch with the flavor

Five stars for Elia!My friend Marcey and I had a fantastic lunch here. From the moment we walked in, Mustafa made us feel completely welcome—he was greeting guests, serving, bussing, and somehow doing it all with calm and kindness. The food was just as impressive. Every dish was full of flavor, and the lunch special stood out: generous portions, beautifully plated, and really satisfying. Elia has that perfect mix of cozy atmosphere, great service, and memorable food. We left...

My wife and I ordered the all you can eat especial for Mondays and Thursdays. Absolutely worth it, as far as value, quality, flavor and the experience as a whole. I wish I had less rice due to dietary restrictions but to be fair I did not communicate that to our server. I will highly recommend this place and will most likely come back.
