    We went here for date night and had a great experience. Cocktails were wonderful, just like other reviews. The shrimp appetizer was the star of the show for us. Food came out hot and was presented well. This is a lively hot spot in Walnut Creek. There were a lot of "peacocks" out, strutting their stuff, on a Thursday night. Unfortunately, one of the staff matched some of the clientele, but worse. If it wasn't for the emphasis on the huge medically enhanced butt of one of their employees, I wouldn't hesitate returning, even though it was expensive. But the butt in the yoga pants was, how shall I say....obscene? I get it. Love your body ladies. That part of my dinner experience was unprofessional, uncomfortable, and left me feeling gross.

    Dined at Elia many times. Reserved table on open table and attempted to use a voucher issued by open table using its “points” to pay. Elia did not honor the voucher. The explanation was just word salad. Bottom line, Elia didn’t want you hassle with negotiating the voucher. Cheap. Disrespectful. I’m not returning to Elia.

    Chose this place to celebrate my birthday. It was not a good experience if you are looking for elegance or just a nice dining experience. It was so loud you couldn’t talk to the person sitting next to you. They had a dj whose music was way too loud for the size of the restaurant. I asked our server if she could turn it down just a little and replied “NO it’s not possible don’t you follow our instagram you should know we play music on weekends”. There were girls standing on the seats dancing and jumping up and down like a club. I was drinking my glass of wine as we finished dinner and the server came up to me and told me I had one minute to finish as if I was at a club that was closing. She stood there to watch me chug my $25 glass of wine with no explanation as to why. They still had almost every table occupied and the DJ was still playing. I was appauled. Very tacky. Not classy place at all (at least on weekends).
