   The hardest part is deciding what to order! Must go back to try other options. Enjoyed our meal immensely. I advise making reservations, as they get quite busy.

   Originally my reservation was for inside but we were accommodated for an ourside table when we found that inside was very noisy on the Saturday evening before Mother's day. The restaurant was extremely busy and we felt fortunate to score the outside table. Our dinner was delicious but we were not rushed to order. We ordered a bottle of wine that was not available and Zubi brought several other options for us to taste before we settled on a delicious Pinot Noir for our meal. The beet salad is delicous...not very large considering the $19 price but we split it and it was enough with our entrees. We didn't order an appetizer this time as we filled up on their delicious bread and olive oil tempenade. I ordered the filet mignon which came on a skewer but was perfectly prepared, medium rare. Accompanied with potato halves and string beans, was delicious. The halibut came with some clams as part of the dish and they were given to me to enjoy .I loved them. The evening on the patio was perfect....beautiful weather. To our surprise, we were served a delicious port by Zubi after our meal, topping off the evening. Definitely going back!

   The food here was impeccable. Pretty sure I’ll be craving the Cilbir (brunch menu) for the rest of my life. Very authentic, high quality ingredients and fairly priced. The ambiance was very cute - warm and inviting. The service left a little something to be desired, drinks took forever to arrive, water glasses sat empty multiple times. There was no check back between when our food arrived and when the bill came. Would definitely go again … just for the food!!

   The food at Elia never disappoints. The calamari appetizer was unlike anything I’ve had before because the rings and tentacles were huge. Apparently it’s a Greek squid but it looked like a baby octopus. Could not eat it.

   It was our anniversary and from the start it wasn’t a great experience. The waiter didn’t come for 25 min. The food was meh for the price. Calamari tasted like it was not fresh at all. We had the steak. I asked to have it boxed because I didn’t finish and I never got it back… they gave us free dessert which was nice but overall I wouldn’t come back. The only thing I like is the ambiance.
