    We love Eleni's. The food is so delicious and the service exceptional. Well done! Two of us had the Youvetsi, fantastic lamb with orzo. Just the best! Others had the chicken shish kebab and the lamb shish kebab. both outstanding. The Greek desserts we had- wow! We also enjoyed Greek wine and a couple of us had two of the martinis. All great. The host and the server, as well as other staff, were always attentive. Fantastic evening, and we can't wait to return.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Surf. We ate the bacon wrapped scallops with jalapenos, the crispy garlic and shrimp sushi roll and the seafood bake. The waitress arranged to have the plate split in the kitchen so we both got a perfectly heated and divided portion. Drinks before dinner were very enjoyable. I recommend making reservation and allowing extra time to park as the restaurant is located in a busy area with other restaurants and shops.
