Not certain if it is because the restaurant is still relatively new but the service could’ve been better. Forgotten orders, meals arriving much later than others and lack of attention to service detail you would expect at a restaurant of this caliber. On the up side, the food was great.

Absolutely exceptional – one of my favorite restaurants! Elia on the River has quickly become one of my top dining spots. The atmosphere is warm and elegant, with a beautiful riverside setting that adds a magical touch to the whole experience. The food is simply outstanding – fresh ingredients, authentic Italian flavors, and perfectly balanced dishes. Every plate feels like it was made with love and attention to detail. The staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming, always making sure you feel taken care of. Whether you’re going for a casual lunch or a romantic dinner, Elia delivers every time. I can’t recommend it enough – a true gem that keeps me coming back!!

Lovely place, fantastic food and exceptional staff. Do I want to pay $22 for a glass of Sancerre, no but it was my choice. Overall, it was a great experience and would gladly visit again.

Loved the service and the food was 10/10. I would have preferred the live music a little bit lower, but everything was great to be honest.

Left a lot to desire. I had to constantly remind the waiter about our orders. My margarita was TERRIBLE, worst margarita i have ever had, legit didn’t drink it. The bruschetta’s were literally tomato on a crispy thin bread… The bolognese and spicy rigatoni were also not very good. They brought us dessert (ice cream) and forgot the spoons and by the time we reminded them and they brought it over, it was basically melted. The restaurant was beautiful but places should focus on food and service just as much as the aesthetic as that is what keeps customers coming back

Pretty atmosphere. Service was Miami average but well below what you would expect for a $$$ restaurant. Dishes were nothing special. They were out of several items. Complimentary bread was not fresh. Was celebrating a birthday and they made no attempt to make it special at all. Will not be returning. Too many other great options in Miami.
