    Great atmosphere though at times can be a bit too loud. Music is great but maybe try lowering the volume by about 10%. Cocktails were great, service was great and came with a smile, making it that much more special. Marcelo was great! We will be back

    This is a beautiful restaurant. The food is generally good, and the service is typically above average. I have dined here a dozen times or so.

Elia Mediterranean restaurant it is the place! The professional staff, music, plates presentation; and attention to details made the evening a special dinner to celebrate my friend’s birthday! Thank you Elia staff !!; for such welcome and sophisticated service this evening.

    nice looking restaurant with very good service but the food was average at best...chilean sea bass was great but Paella was awful, short rib cavatelli had no flavor and the octopus could have been microwaved. It's my second time going there and it really disappoints and definitely not worth the money
