    Love the specialty drinks, most of all appetizers,and their services!! We love this restaurant as we were there three other times but wish they are to perfect main dishes and pay attention to more details as we are paying NY city dinning price!! Waiter who was giving out new set of knife and fork, handed them out to each one of us rather than put them on the table. Love the fish kabob but stuff pepper was almost cold and not as tasty. Lobster pasta - lobster was tasty but mountain size of overcooked tasteless pasta was very disappointing…. However, Peter credited the bill for the dish and he really apologized that my daughter did not like the dish!!! Very nice people and very pleasant experience there and hope the restaurant will be cherish by many people!

    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!
