位於Oakland​的優質希臘菜​餐廳

We sat at a two person table near the front door. Every time the door opened, we could feel a rush of cold air. We had to keep our jackets on. Also, the hostess at the front door last night, not great. She let us stand there for at least a minute with no greeting while she was talking to another host. All it takes is, “Good Evening, we will be right with you”. On the other hand, our food was delicious and our server, Nica was great.

From the moment we walked into Elia, we knew we were in for a treat. The atmosphere is absolutely stunning—think glowing blue lights, natural decor, and walls adorned with beautifully spaced art pieces that felt like a gallery. Sitting across from my wife, I couldn’t have asked for a better view. The service was equally impressive. We were warmly greeted at the door and invited to enjoy a drink at the bar while waiting for our table amidst a lively crowd. Our server, Lilia, was outstanding. Despite being busy, she made sure we were well taken care of and never felt overlooked. Now, the food—wow. We started with the octopus, followed by the filet mignon and lobster paella. Each dish was cooked to perfection. The paella was packed with rich flavors and seafood, and the lobster tail was perfectly done. The filet mignon? Easily one of the best steaks I’ve had in Walnut Creek, perfectly seasoned and tender. To finish, we indulged in the chocolate cake, which was nothing short of spectacular—the best I’ve ever had. Elia gave us an amazing night filled with exceptional food, ambiance, and service. We’ll absolutely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. Thank you, Elia, for making our evening unforgettable!

Food was authentic + tasted fantastic and it was great experience all around! Would highly recommend it to anyone who loves Greek food!

The people who run this restaurant are so accommodating and eager to please. Food is very good with lots of options from which to choose. I love their pita bread and the house-made condiment that comes with it. The dolmas are excellent. The location is really convenient to Union Square and to the SF Playhouse. Be sure to try one of the desserts.

Food, wine and service was great. We highly recommend.
