The New Year’s Eve celebration at Elia on the River was incredible. The food was outstanding; we enjoyed salmon, lobster pasta, truffle pizza, and a selection of appetizers, all of which were delightful. The staff was very attentive and friendly, making sure we had a fantastic experience. The live music and the violinist added a special touch to the evening, turning our night into something truly memorable. Definitely a place I want to return to. Thanks Elia!

My husband, daughter and I had the best meal. We started our dinner with a pizza for an appetizer and ordered calamari and the Caesar salad. Everything was delicious and the service was impeccable. Yiscah was our server and she took such great care of us. We loved the atmosphere and the whole vibe. Definitely recommend!
