    From the moment we walked into Elia, we knew we were in for a treat. The atmosphere is absolutely stunning—think glowing blue lights, natural decor, and walls adorned with beautifully spaced art pieces that felt like a gallery. Sitting across from my wife, I couldn’t have asked for a better view. The service was equally impressive. We were warmly greeted at the door and invited to enjoy a drink at the bar while waiting for our table amidst a lively crowd. Our server, Lilia, was outstanding. Despite being busy, she made sure we were well taken care of and never felt overlooked. Now, the food—wow. We started with the octopus, followed by the filet mignon and lobster paella. Each dish was cooked to perfection. The paella was packed with rich flavors and seafood, and the lobster tail was perfectly done. The filet mignon? Easily one of the best steaks I’ve had in Walnut Creek, perfectly seasoned and tender. To finish, we indulged in the chocolate cake, which was nothing short of spectacular—the best I’ve ever had. Elia gave us an amazing night filled with exceptional food, ambiance, and service. We’ll absolutely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. Thank you, Elia, for making our evening unforgettable!

    The food was delicious and the service great. The background noise was pretty loud with only a few patrons.

    Wow, the explanation and pepper appetizers were sensational. I’d get the Pilkia combo. We ended up making a meal pita and dips, the lemon soup, and a beet salad with chicken. All impeccable. Plus dessert.

    They rushed us out and put us on a time limit. While no one else got the same treatment. We spent $300 so it wasn’t like we were just sitting and taking up space. We definitely will not be coming back to this place. The food was ok the drinks were good. Our server came over asking us if we were ready to leave 6 times. Thank you but no thank you on returning to Elia!!

    Absolutely superb and stunning restaurant! The food is fantastic and the service is wonderful and attentive. The ambiance is so soothing and relaxing. It is a gem. We had a fantastic family reunion meal and it was so special. While we ate inside, the outdoor tented front of the restaurant looks extremely appealing as well. The bar is amazing- stocked to perfection! Reasonable for the level of fine dining Elia provides. We will be back!
