Elia never disappoints. The food is always good and fresh. The service is top notch. Elia is a great place for a ladies night or a date.
The Best services you can ask, definitely coming back
Elia is always outstanding. I've always enjoyed anything that I've ordered, but the Chilean Sea Bass is absolutely amazing. Its my favorite piece of fish that I always order if I see it on the menu, but Elia doesnt it like no other– its like the fish is not only seasoned top and bottom, but inside out. Its moist and flaky and absolutely delicious!
Seafood Pasta was very good. We were seated in the tent area.
Excellent, the service was wonderful and the food was excellent
It was beautiful and upscale. Everything I wanted and more !
Never disappointed!! We have been coming here since they opened and always left very satisfied! Love it!

The food was great
We will be back for sure
Thank you
Amazing food, staff and hospitality.
The best restaurant in the Rutherford area..... hands down.
I been going elias for my birthday since it opened. This year i understand it's different circumstances but i felt super rushed. No pita bread until i asked the bus boy to bring it after 2 appetizers were already brought out. The waiter came around and asked if we were ready for our main course (this was 30 minutes into dinner) i said no give it a little time because we weren't done with apps. Before we were done with our oysters & clams they brought our fish dinners out and by now it was 40 minutes into dinner. They took the dinner back and gave us more time. I understand there's time limits now but 40 minutes is not enough time. dinner and drinks for my husband and i came out to $350, i would like to enjoy it instead of being rushed out of there. Elias is always our go to spot but not sure it's worth it anymore if I'm going to be rushed out of there. I go there for the ambience and experience as well as the delicious food. I would like that actually enjoy the meal instead if eating it so quickly.
Wonderful desserts!!
We had a blessed celebration of my friend's birthday party yesterday. The food, the cocktails, the stuff, life DJ. All possible covid related measures were taken and we had a very good time. Thank you very much. We felt special there.
Very nice outdoor set up ! Heat was set just right service was great .... See U Soon 💯
Fabulous as usual! Food, service, atmosphere: all exceptional!
I found Elia because of the pandemic restrictions and was grateful they'd done their outside so lovely. To have the food be outstanding was just perfection. I'm here every week and still haven't tried everything on the menu. I'm happily working my way through it. Go and enjoy.
We were running late to dinner & they let us sit anyways. But let’s talk about my experience... the appetizers were delicious! We would of licked the plate if we could. Second our entrees were very well presented & not to mention very much tasty! Last but not least dessert!!! Very good! I love sweets so when I tell you I very much enjoyed the dessert plus the manager discounted the dessert because there was 2 birthdays. So overall yes give it a try because the food & ambiance is great!
My friend would not dine inside so Elia's became our go to restaurant. We had no idea what the quality was and were both so pleased with the entire restaurant that we kept it as our weekly restaurant. The staff, the care, the food all are spectacular and I can't stress enough how completely lovely the staff has been every time we go. We're weekly brunch patrons and we're gleefully working our way through the menu 😋
We went for brunch with a party of 5 for my husband’s 60th birthday. The food was amazing and the service was nothing short of spectacular. They could not be more attentive and accommodating. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will surely be going back many times going forward.
Went for a Sunday Brunch fir a friends birthday and it was spectacular. A wide variety on the menu, cocktails were excellent, and the service impeccable. I have been there many times fir dinner and it never lets me down. This was my first Brunch but I’ll be returning.
Everything was amazing!!! The food the drinks the service! I wish I remembered our waiters. He knew the menu very well he was able to make recommendations that I went with and I did not regret listening to him
Reserved for a 1030 brunch because the website says there's a time limitation. So we planned on a quick brunch. The place is beautiful and the staff is friendly. The noise level was quite high by 1130. Two small Americano's was 12 bucks. That's what I paid for the chopped salad that I could eat. It smelled funky and tasted bad. And for a place that puts time limitations on dining time, we had to ask for our food because either they forgot about us or wanted to keep us there longer.
The Fixed Prix lunch is a great bargain and a delicious meal. The Lavraki is wonderful.
Great service, food, and management!
We celebrated my husband and son’s birthdays. The staff was friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. We ordered zucchini and eggplant chips, octopus and saganaki as appetizers and they were delicious. For dinner, we ordered lavraki (sea bass), seafood pasta, and scallops and again, everything was so tasty and well prepared and portions were just right. The restaurant is beautiful inside, modern with a touch of tradition and outside, they have a tent set up with heating to accommodate safety guidelines during Covid. What a pleasant dining experience. I will definitely be returning.
Great food and great service. I love the decor and setting.
It’s was absolutely amazing. Food was fire asf, and it was FANCYYYYYY.
I took my girlfriend to this place for Valentine’s Day because we love Mediterranean food and wanted to try a more upscale version of it. From the outstanding food to the energetic atmosphere our experience here was nothing less than awesome. This is our new go to spot for authentic Mediterranean food. The chef also has a very clear understanding of Mediterranean food flavor profiles and make the some of the best food I’ve ever eaten
The environment was very energetic, upbeat music and the inside of the restaurant was beautiful. The service was great across the board, from being seated, to the waiter and the individuals directing us to the bathroom. The food was good but the restaurant made up for where the food fell short.
Valentines dinner. Everything was fabulous. DJ playing great tunes... Staff, Restaurant, Food all Amazing. Can’t wait to go back.
It was our Valentines Day. We enjoyed it very much
Need add more vegan menu
Food was exceptional! Service was great.
Elia’s was an amazing experience. Everything from the ambiance to the meals to the service and attention were top notch. Our server AK was awesome. He made excellent recommendations and was extremely polite and professional. The restaurant is an absolute gem. Congratulations to everyone there. You made our evening a unforgettable one.
