I wasn't too impressed with Elia. The people who worked there were very nice and polite. Food was average. It all started from the beginning, we got 2 glasses of water and it tasted nasty. Not sure if it was straight from the top or what, but Elia should definitely consider investing in a better filtration system, possibly RO. The lentil soup was great but I kept thinking, "what if it's made from that water." The bread was amazing. For some reason the cheese that came out wasn't warm which was very strange since there weren't any other people in the restaurant, I thought it should be hot. Did they just warm it up or was it fresh and didnt bring it out for 5 min, can't tell. The octopus was amazing but I was expecting a bigger piece or maybe 2 pieces for the price of $23.

My friend and I met for a casual girls’ brunch and ordered the all-you-can-eat brunch special and it was DELICIOUS. Our waitress was great, general service was also nice, and the food was excellent. Would definitely come back for brunch again!

The service was slow, the food came super late. We were seated at a table that was evidently too small for 4 guests, and the servers did not have the training to remove prior utensils that were already on the table before putting the entrees down, hence leading to a lack of space for us to eat. They just didn’t seem to care enough. Also the music was way too loud, the trumpet player became annoying at one point and gave us all a headache. I would suggest he take breaks in between so people can have some peace while eating with mellow music because the constant trumpet in our ears made the experience poor
