    Nice, homey type place. Love sitting in the window seats! Been for lunch a few times & awesome how we can get the French Onion Soup as our side to our delicious sandwiches. Plenty of items to choose from & great ambiance.

    Absolutely superb and stunning restaurant! The food is fantastic and the service is wonderful and attentive. The ambiance is so soothing and relaxing. It is a gem. We had a fantastic family reunion meal and it was so special. While we ate inside, the outdoor tented front of the restaurant looks extremely appealing as well. The bar is amazing- stocked to perfection! Reasonable for the level of fine dining Elia provides. We will be back!

    Excellent server and dinner for Christmas with our party of 7. Apps included, ahi, deviled eggs, calamari… Entrées of lobster ravioli, beef bourg, cabbage salad, burgers (they loved!) lamb chops for me - we all loved everything! Desserts, affogatos, and tiramisu, our server was so good, balance of friendly & professional, great work! Very memorable Christmas dinner! 🎄
