We came with a group of 14. Ahead of the reservation, they were incredible helpful and easy. They had a wonderful table set up for us. The service was great and our waiter was so helpful. And the food was delicious! It is a great spot for dinner, especially with our big group.

One of the finest restaurants on the Upper West Side. Make that all of Manhattan. We have been coming here since they opened and always count int to provide a wonderful dining experience. Elea chips and Lamb Chops...you can't go wrong.

For some reason my original reservation was cancelled the night before; fortunately I was able to rebook. Party of 3 including a Parisian friend. We shared spreads to start, wonderful. For our mains, my tuna tartare small plate was perfect, and my friends like their dorade and chicken dishes. Waiter recommended a really nice greek red. Good service by the entire staff. The downstairs dining room was lively, a bit loud but fine.

Elea is far and away the best restaurant on Manhattan's Upper West Side, and competes with any other restaurant in the Big Apple. From 'soup to nuts' Elea soars. You can request a favored table, that will be honored, and the service is prompt and considerate, while the whole menu is tantalizingly good. Whether you are a vegetarian or a meat-lover, there is something to satisfy everyone.

My husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day here. The restaurant had a wonderful atmosphere, with roses on every table, and the staff were exceptionally friendly:)

Have been coming here for a few years now, but first time here for brunch. Steak and eggs were perfection, and the warm, friendly, attentive service always top notch. Will be back

Elea is my non-negotiable, must visit, whenever I am in NYC. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service is always impeccable, and they have one of the best menus available. Slowly working our way through all the items, and we have never been disappointed. My only complaint is that it is hard to get last minute reservation because everyone else knows about this fantastic restaurant!

Dinner was so fresh & delicious ,service was perfection. The manager came to the table at the end of our meal to check if we needed anything else. That was a nice touch @
