    There is way too much to write about what went wrong with what should have been a nice dinner and evening out at Elia. It was our first time there, and it will be our last. Service was deplorable. Staff was friendly but, for the most part, failed. Food was okay at best.

    The food was delicious, everything came out perfectly! The spreads are amazing, the feta and eggplant ones are my favorite. The only thing is it’s a bit bright in there so it’s not a very intimate setting.

    We had a good meal over the holiday season. We were the ONLY people in the entire restaurant. The portions are BIG. The lamb kabob was great while the chicken and pork were good. We loved a feta cheese in phylo dough with honey. However the big miss was the octopus. It was a huge serving but grossly overcooked and chewy. The waitress was very cordial. However at the end of the meal it was surprising that since we were the only people in the entire restaurant that i literally had to go the the reception area to ask for the check because she was MIA. Overall, we suspect that the main chef was not working that night accounting for the glitches but it was a nice and better option compared to other local greek restaurants like Arpeggio .

    We loved our meal! My husband and I went to Elia before a show at the Keswick. The waiter, a native Greek, was fantastic and spot-on with his recommendations. We shared the grilled octopus, which was perfectly prepared, and three-dip appetizers. For our entree, we shared a whole grilled orata, which our waiter recommended over the branzino. It was fabulous, as were the potatoes and Greek salad served with it. Dessert was yummy. Everything was so fresh. Only issue for us is we forgot it was BYO, a nice white would have been perfect. We will not forget that next time, as we will definitely be back.

    Place looks nice with the updated bright ambiance compared to the former restaurant. Food was very good, but I think our appetizers may have been given to another table as it came out slightly after our meals came out. When we first got there it was Saturday night rush and the feel of the place was a bit much for me with people whipping by our table constantly. I think they may have been under staffed. But the workers were working hard and were very friendly. I will definitely go back and give it another try!

    We waited for an hour and a half for our dinner one individual could not eat it tasted bad. One entree did not come out till much later and the waitress said she thought she brought it out! Never had that happen before at any restaurant. None of us will ever go back or recommend this place to anyone in our community which is very large.
