位於Upper West Side​的優質海鮮​餐廳

Food was delicious as always. We had the eggplant rollatine and linguine with shrimp. Service was excellent and the restaurant was still decorated for the holidays. I only wish the tables for two were not so tightly packed together though.

As always, waitstaff were lovely and available, food was delicious ans GM welcoming.

Man betritt diesen hellen kreativen Ort und wird von der kompetentesten , höflichsten Dame am Empfang - Mimosa- empfangen und schon taucht man in Griechenland mit bester kulinarik ein !

I have been to this restaurant several times and it’s always a wonderful experience. The staff is amazing and very professional. The food is presented beautifully and cooked to perfection.  The cocktails are also very good. I was just there last night and I am looking forward to my next visit.

Dining at a restaurant is an experience with many components for me. First, there’s the decision to dine out rather than cook at home—a choice I don’t take lightly, as I consider myself a pretty good cook. Then comes selecting the right restaurant. Once I’ve made a reservation through OpenTable, I include special requests, such as seating preferences and hoping a favorite waiter will be working that night. I look forward to seeing if those details are acknowledged and fulfilled. From the moment I arrive, the experience begins: Am I greeted warmly by the receptionists, who seem genuinely happy to see me and eager to accommodate my requests? Is the maître d' cordial and welcoming? Is the waiter knowledgeable, personable, well-groomed, and engaging? A great waiter can make dining at their station a true pleasure, with a friendly demeanor and a smile that enhances the atmosphere. Then comes a key factor for me: pacing. When I order a cocktail—at Elea, a top-shelf gin cocktail costs $18 plus a $3 surcharge, plus tax and tip (over $50 for two drinks)—I want to savor it. Rushing me to order food detracts from the enjoyment of such a treat. Thankfully, Elea strikes the perfect balance, allowing guests to relax and enjoy each stage of the meal. Of course, the food itself is central. At Elea, the dishes are flavorful, portions are satisfying, and every course feels thoughtfully prepared. The bus staff are attentive without being intrusive, waiting until I’ve truly finished before clearing the table. Dessert is offered but never pushed—a subtle touch that speaks to the restaurant’s professionalism. Elea excels at making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable, leaving guests eager to return. Their team achieves their ultimate goal: creating an atmosphere so welcoming and well-executed that you look forward to coming back again and again.
