    Elia made this a forever memorable experience. We went there to celebrate my wife’s birthday and I truly appreciate the maitre’d making an effort to find out my wife’s name and printing it on the menu and then a candle baklava at the end. It was just perfect. We are truly grateful

    Our birthday lunch was not as expected. One waiter for the lunch service on a weekday,? Waited s while to get a drink then one of the guest didn’t get her cocktail. To Order food waiting some more, had to ask for water.??? Didn’t even hear a birthday mention, we were celebrating two 80 years young. Very disappointed.☹️ don’t celebrate with them.

    One of the nicest Greek meals I’ve had in the US. The best SAGANAKI ever, it’s properly grilled and nicely browned. The moussaka was also delicious. My only quibble was the parsley in the Greek salad as it sort of took over flavor wise. I’ll have them leave that off next time as otherwise the salad was top notch. Too bad I don’t live closer so I could be a regular.

    We had a wonderful dinner experience at Elia. Amazing atmosphere, food and service. Not sure about the price since it was date night. We had the sea bass and lobster paella. Perfectly prepared. Tried their famous bubble shot, super good cocktail. We will definitely be back for another date night soon.

    Exceptional Greek food and excellent service. I had the horiatiki salad and lamb chops. My husband had the seafood paella (not a Greek dish, but delicious nonetheless). Everything was delicious. Wish I lived closer!

    We were a couple of families out for lunch and the overall experience was quite nice. The appetizers were really enjoyable. In fact, we all agreed that most of the dishes were very good albeit the portion size of salads seemed small ... maybe that's just me. Ambience wise - it was a bit loud for our taste and had difficulty having conversation. This was not helped by the fact that the restaurant was't quite prepared for our reservation but did quickly put together a couple of tables together - we would have preferred a circular or square seating so that the people at the end of the tables were not leaning forward to be seen and heard. One thing that needs to improve is the service. Though the servers were very nice, it was always an effort to get their attention - whether it was to get a refill of water, or some extra bread, or ... anything really! Maybe the restaurant is understaffed - don't know but the lack of attention was definitely an irritant.
