Service was below average. Arrived on time for an 8:30pm reservation. Did not get seated until 9:20pm and had to wait another 10 minutes just to get menu’s. Finally got our orders at 10pm, food was good as well as the ambiance but the service was abysmal.

Beautiful restaurant and ambiance, food was good too. Service not so good. We went for my birthday celebration. The occasion was confirmed my the restaurant several times beforehand. However, our table was tended by the manager who showed little interest and neglected our special occasion while the other tables celebrating birthdays did get a celebration and ours did not. We felt treated like second class citizens. The rigatoni was good but the portion looked more like kid size and not enough to fulfill an adult portion. Not sure if we received this treatment from the manager because we chose the prefixed menu. We got the impression he wasn’t thrilled about us choosing this instead of ordering from the regular menu. Despite everything, we left a tip as customary, but won’t be returning to this restaurant.

Visiting from Chicago for a girls trip, and Elia was hands down the best place we experienced the entire time! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was perfect-elegant, welcoming, and full of energy. Tico and Claudia went above and beyond to make our night unforgettable. Their warmth, attention to detail, and incredible hospitality made us feel like VIPs. The food, drinks, and service were all 10/10. We're already talking about coming back just for this place. If you're in town, Elia is a must-ask for Tico and Claudia, they'll take the best care of you!

We celebrated my sister’s birthday at Elia last night, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm, stylish, and welcoming. The service was top-tier—attentive without being overwhelming—and every staff member made us feel celebrated and special. Now let’s talk about the food… absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. You can tell everything is made with fresh ingredients and genuine passion. The cocktails were just as impressive—crafted with care and dangerously good! Thank you, Elia, for making my sister’s birthday so special. We’ll definitely be back!

Not what you would expect given the decor and overall ambiance. Service (which is 20% included) was poor to say the least. We had to ask for water EVERY time it went empty, even flagging the server down as she walked past seeming unaware of our empty glasses( very slow at time of our visit). I counted 6 tables. The food was also bland, but the biggest upset was the mashed potato’s, I am almost 100% certain that the mashed potato’s that came with the lamb were the instant ones from the box at Publix, disgusting.

Excellent Food and Service. Sat Outdoors so it was a little hot but they had recently installed fans which had not passed inspection yet so they were not operational.
