    Jairo took great care of us by choosing a quiet table near the window. The food was delicious as usual. I love taking client to Elia!

    We both ordered the filet mignon souvlaki and it was delicious. So were the sides and the spanakopita that we had ordered as a starter. Service was excellent. Will be back.

    Food was great. Had the whole Seabass which was moist and flavorful. Potatoes were also tasty. Cold Seabass carpaccio appetizer was good. There was a party in the central dining area which made it kind of loud. Love this place. I will be back.

    Excellent food and service. However, lamb chain was bland. Whole was tender yet crispy and few bones. Grilled artichoke was flavorful and tender. Not grainy and course. Little chaotic on arrival. we had to wait 40 minutes for our table. Nothing more than apologies.
