About Elia

At Elia, we believe that the best meals are the ones that transport you — to a sunlit terrace overlooking the Aegean, to a grandmother’s kitchen filled with the scent of slow-cooked lamb and fresh herbs, to a table where time slows down and every... More

★★★★★ 5.0 Corey Dugan · Jan 2026

Do not sleep on Elia!! This restaurant is one of my new favorites and is such a great neighborhood spot! We went super early on a weeknight so it wasn’t crowded at all. The atmosphere is like a Greek taverna with a little fireplace which is a great touch. The food was the highlight here: the salad (which normally I would not highlight but was truly incredible) was so good that I’ve been making a version of it at home, the octopus was perfectly cooked and the red pepper feta dip was absolutely addictive with the fresh pita bread. The mousakka was solid. Go here immediately and get all the dips and all the apps!!

We were there on Valentines day. Great taste for everything we ordered. But it was cold to sit next to the door especially we had a baby dinning with us.

We went to Elia on Friday night (2/6). It was not our first time there, but we hadn't been there in quite some time. From the minute we walked through the door, it was a great night. We were greeted by Nick with a big hello. We ordered Elia's specialty fig martini cocktail which never disappoints. After that we had hummus with pita bread, Saganaki (fried cheese), and grilled calamari. For our entrees we got grilled shrimp and grilled Branzino. Everything was absolutely delicious! On numerous occasions Nick came over to check on us and make sure everything was to our liking. We had a great night and will definitely be back.

it was my first time trying Elia restaurant and I was wondering why i have never tried it before. so far the best greek food in the area to be honest. the fish dish was absolutely delicious. only one thing its little salty but that’s my taste so.. Highly recommended.

My wife Annette and I discovered Elia a few weeks ago with a large group (6 couples). We loved it so much we returned for our Valentine's dinner. We had several of the appetizers like the Octopus, Spanakopita, Tuna special, special salad, etc. All were delicious! A good Cabernet accompanied dinner and then we had two desserts, the rice pudding which is amazing, and the chocolate special. We can't say enough about the service, food & atmosphere. We will be back soon! Thanks again!
