The food was excellent. Our server was very friendly but we had to ask a few times for things we needed. We loved the lobster taco appetizer, the steaks were delicious, the ahi tuna, and the sides too - mashed potatoes and crab fried rice. This was our second time there and the food was great both times. It is pricey though and our server was better the first time we went.

The lunch prix fixe menu is the best kept secret in all of Bergen County! Every single dish we ate was a winner! And beautifully presented. And the service (shout out to Albert M) was superb! Albert and the busboy were so well-trained, warm, and polite. We've been to Elia for dinner but really loved this beautiful restaurant at lunchtime! Ample parking lot. It's worth the drive. Just go!
