Eleni's is a cosy and refined restaurant that brings a piece of Greece to diners around the globe. The heated outdoor seating area is highly recommended, creating a lovely atmosphere. The staff, including the friendly hostess and attentive waitresses, ensure a wonderful dining experience. The menu features exceptional dishes like grilled calamari, octopus, chicken souvlaki, and a variety of dips, all complemented by the restaurant's delicious olive oil. Guests appreciate the pretty decorations and inviting decor inside. Portions are quite large, so guests should keep that in mind when ordering.
Eleni's values its customers, making them feel like honored guests, and offers a wide range of unique dishes for those seeking different culinary experiences. Recent reviews highlight the fish selections, with many praising the tender chicken souvlaki and the dip sampler, which includes five different dips served with warm pita triangles. While some dishes, like the grilled squid and swordfish, received mixed feedback regarding texture, the overall dining experience remains enjoyable.
Guests have also praised the salads, especially for their amazing feta and fresh veggies, and the chocolate mousse as a decadent dessert. Although some items, like the crispiness of the pita and the preparation of certain side dishes, could be improved, Eleni's remains a fine place to spend an evening, with many looking forward to returning for specific favorites like the meze platter, salad, and dips. Eleni's truly embodies a welcoming atmosphere and a passion for quality food and service.
