    The atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant was great. Upbeat and vibrant. The food was ok. The downside was feeling rushed through apps and our dinner by the wait staff

    Elia is a beautiful Greek restaurant. It’s a great place to go for fun drink drinks and small plates, or fine dining. Their food is high-quality, and worth the price. The grilled octopus was fantastic. We also had the chicken souvlaki, Ziziki, appetizer, and halibut entrée. All were excellent, and besides all that, the service is superb.

    Loved the look vibe and excellent food. Finally a new happening place in San Carlos with a great bar scene that isn’t too loud but has great music.

    The food and service are always great. On Friday and Saturday evenings they have DJ. If you do not like loud music avoid Fridays and Saturday dinner.

    We both ordered the filet mignon souvlaki and it was delicious. So were the sides and the spanakopita that we had ordered as a starter. Service was excellent. Will be back.
