   Met a small group for a birthday brunch here on a Saturday and luckily only shared the restaurant with one other table. Bartender came around to take orders. Food was amazing, came quickly - before the drinks. The menu had a great selection of cocktails, and as we were celebrating a 21st birthday, we all ordered a cocktail. We guessed the "bartender" was a server who was working solo, but the drinks were ALL not good. Tasted watered down, and not really as described on the menu. We asked for a bottle of white for the table to share and all the drinks sat 1/2 drank on the table. A good server may have noticed and asked if we were happy with our drinks, but that didn't happen. I was not happy paying $14 per drink and they weren't good. Would consider returning for the saganaki and the shish, but will not pay for cocktails. Hopefully a real bartender is on the staff and they'll work on this as the place has great potential.

   Food was surprisingly underwhelming. For vegetarians, there is only one entree option on the menu, which is roasted asparagus, carrots, and mushrooms. I have tried many Turkish restaurants in the city, and this one is disappointing. Great ambiance, though.

   There need to be a few more vegetarian entrees beyond the one vegetable dish they had. Plenty of other Mediterranean spots have these. $30 for sautéed vegetables as an entree didn’t make sense. Everything else from ambiance to service was excellent! Very much appreciated some of the special requests we had made as well.

   Food tasted great. I got the fish stew which had amazing flavor but none of the mussels opened. The kitchen should have caught that. The service was brutal. The restaurant was half empty but they had us wait at the bar. Rather than push two of the many square tables together to make a four top, they pushed two round tables which make sharing the appetizers super awkward.

   Martin, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear your thoughts on the food and will definitely use your comments to help us improve. Regarding the seating situation, we initially had a table reserved for your party of three that comfortably accommodated your group. When we learned about the unexpected fourth guest, we made adjustments with the tables that were available at the moment to ensure you had the necessary space. Unfortunately, the square tables were all reserved for large parties that arrive shortly after you. We appreciate your understanding as we worked to accommodate the change. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the chance to serve you again soon! Elia Management

   Everything was wonderful! The food, the cocktails, appetizers, the ambiance and we even got limoncello as a treat at the end of the evening. Just lovely My favorite part of all: the name of the restaurant!!! ELIA ❤️
