   The service was tentative at best. It’s the second time we’ve dined here and the second time it’s been…fine. Something tells me it’s not accomplishing what it’s set out to do. There’s something haphazard about the experience.

   I thought the brunch menu was limited and rather overpriced for the quality of the food. This place also has a cash vs credit card price.

   We're sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet your expectations . We always aim to provide quality food , and we regret that the brunch menu and pricing didn't reflect that for you . Your feedback is valuable . Regarding the cash vs credit card pricing, it's something we implemented to give our guests the option to avoid extra fees, rather than raising prices across the entire menu. We understand it may not be ideal for everyone, but it helps us keep things fair and transparent. We appreciate you giving us a try and will take your feedback into account , and hope to welcome you again.

   Brunch food was very good, except they don’t have non-dairy coffee options. Friendly servers and beautiful place with nice outdoor seatings, just a bit noisy due to traffic in the tunnel. Will definitely go back!

   Service was outstanding. Two of our three entree’s were exceptional as was the pistachio hummus. The short rib gnocchi was ‘short’ on short rib - largely just a gnocchi dish. Seafood Pasta and Lamp Shank were awesome Noise level was quite high. Music could have been a bit lower, but the most unnerving was the traffic. Management should request a speed hump to slow the traffic coming off of Los Olas . If noise is an issue for you / request an inside table.

   Nice new addition to Las Olas. Delish variety of Mediterranean cuisine!

   We liked the restaurant and the experience. It was a little hot with all of the doors open. The food we ordered was delicious.

   I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but our experience at this restaurant was deeply disappointing. The food was decent and the ambiance was fine, but what happened at the end of the meal completely overshadowed everything. After receiving our bill, we left a 15% tip—standard for the level of service we received. As we were walking out, the waitress chased us down outside the restaurant, demanding a larger tip. We were completely shocked and embarrassed. Tipping is customary, yes, but it’s also voluntary and based on the service provided. Being confronted in public like that was not only unprofessional, it was downright inappropriate. No one should be made to feel shamed or pressured after paying for their meal. Needless to say, we won’t be returning, and I hope management addresses this kind of behavior before it drives away more customers.

   I want to sincerely apologize for your recent experience at Elba . I was deeply disappointed to read your review and to learn that the behaviors of one of our servers made you feel anything less than valued . This is not the kind of service we strive to provide. Your feedback is incredibly important, and I want you to know that I've addressed the issue directly with our team to ensure this doesnt happen again . I would love the chance to make it right and show you what a visit to Elba should feel like. If you are open to it, I would be more than happy to personally invite you back and ensure you're taken care of.
