Beverage-wise, Elia boasts 12 handcrafted specialty cocktails, 24 wines sourced from around the world available by the bottle and glass, 10 craft draft beers,100+ spirits spirits, and non-alcoholic offerings as well.
Elia features 90 interior seats - including a glassed-in private dining room that doubles as the restaurant’s wine cellar - along with 60 seats on the restaurant’s sidewalk patio.
Sprawling imported Mediterranean wall murals of golds, blacks, and off-whites; original imported artwork; and mid-century modern lighting round out the restaurant’s stunning interior.

    Excellent food and great ambience. Service was a little on the slow side particularly since it was not busy. However, we were just hanging out, so it wasn't really an issue. Highly recommended.
