Food was excellent but bar service was slow. Ordered a $30 glass of wine to pair with the main course about 5-10 mins before the main course arrived, but the wine didn’t show up until after I finished my meal. Inattention to these details will keep me from coming back or recommending the place.

The food was good and the ambience was really nice, we had the seafood linguine and the burger I’d say it was a 8/10. The hookah was nice and the selection of music was good too. Staff was nice and we were able to be in a secluded area for our anniversary dinner.

Ela was amazing. The service and food were outstanding. The only issue was that it was VaHi restaurant week and with only 3 items on the menu - it was disappointing that the main item, the skewer, the restaurant was out of at 7p. But, it was our first time there and other than that we had a great time! Would highly recommend!

We’ve been to this restaurant five or six times over the past six months, and have had consistently great food and service. It’s been our “go to” place when we have guests from out of town. Last night’s food was delicious and the service was great. Our problem was the menu change. It’s no longer tapas and paella focused, and now has a more traditional dinner menu of meat and seafood. We ordered three appetizers but the choices were very limited - especially since we expected to see a full page of options.
