   Dinner at Elia is the perfect inspiration to revisit our memories of Greece. Delicious and authentic options from appetizers to dessert will bring us back. The staff and service are fantastic and friendly. More than just dinner out…it was like being on vacation!

   Good food, but pounding, throbbing, pulsing music (all we could hear was the bass) doesn’t really add to the experience.

   This was first time eating at Elia. The service is phenomenal and food was delicious. It was my girlfriend’s birthday and they made it extra special ! I’m looking forward to going back and bringing my whole family. Thank you Elia for a wonderful night!

   Food was really good but the service was poor. The entire night, we felt like no one was minding us at all. Our waiter changed a couple of times and I think they've forgotten about us lol we had to wait more than 15 mins to get to order the dessert. Noise was tolerable.

   Was there for the 7:00 seatng for Valentines Day. This was my first visit to Elia in Walnut Creek, we were familiar with the Pleasanton location. Pretty expensive 4 course meal, and the food was average in tasting, slightly better in presentation. The service was very good. The noise level, mostly due to the way too loud music was very annoying for what was supposed to be a romantic dinner. We almost had to shout to each other. Soft romantic back ground music was not this. I wish they stuck to what they do best in their day to day for the menu. Instead of attemping to be so creative, why not offer some of their most popular items in the main course?

   Waiters were polite and always around when we needed something. The meatballs were amazing! The tzatziki was amazing as well!

   The food was delicious! We went on a Sunday evening at 6:30pm and the ambiance was just right. Not to crowded or noisy. The host was very attentive. Great experience

   Great place, love the vibe, it remind me of Mykonos. I was expecting to see the traditional big croutons in my Greek salad but it was good anyway. a bit pricey but worth it.

    The food was okay, but the noise level was high, until 7:30pm when a DJ started. At that point, everyone that had been talking loudly had to yell to hear each other. My watch registered a noise level between 88 and 95 DBM. We won't go back.
