   This family-run business is great. The food was special. Everyone orders the lemon potatoes because they're really amazing. I overheard some people talking about it at the gym and decided to try the restaurant. There are some items on the menu that are expensive but for the most part it's very reasonably priced. The wait staff are really dedicated to the vision of this very comfortable and inviting restaurant. Elia lives up to its reputation. It's an easy place for a vegetarian to eat as well, especially if you eat fish.

   We brought friends here to experience your restaurant and they were so excited with the service and the food! A couple of us loved the special Negroni, we all went crazy for the lemon potatoes, and the zucchini chips took first place!

   We tried this restaurant for the first time last night. What an utter disappointment. In a near empty restaurant (about six tables at about 7:30 PM), it took almost an hour to receive our entrees (with no one paying the slightest bit of attention that we were sitting there without food while others that arrived after us were served). When our entrees did arrive, my grilled chicken was so overcooked and dried out that it was practicably inedible. Moreover, the chicken had been pounded flat WITH the bones in it so that the bones where cracked and sticking into the meat. I have never seen a preparation like that in my life (and I am a fan of Greek food). Apparently, one of our entrees had been mistakenly given to another diner and my chicken was placed under a heat lamp for more than 30 minutes while they "figured out the mystery." They did take the chicken off the bill and offered us a free drink, which I appreciate. However, I was not there to get a free meal that had to be thrown in the garbage; I was there to pay for and enjoy a good meal. Despite this, the bill was still more than $100 for two people and I had to get a burger afterwards. I would imagine there are a 100 cooks that work in quick-serve Greek restaurants around Las Vegas that are far more competent than the rank amateurs that work in this kitchen.

   What a delightful experience. We were warmly greeted at the door and promptly seated. I requested their sparkly wine and was offered a “taste” before officially ordering in the event that I did not like my choice. A generous serving of warm bread quickly followed. The menu is varied and made it difficult for me to choose. I asked that they order several options for me. They started with what I will call a squash blossom. It was beautifully fried zucchini petals in a whipped feta dip. Awesome. Crisp and light with a nicely flavored dip. Next was a warm braised octopus served with a pickled onion vinaigrette. Tender and tasty!! Although we are experiencing winter, their tomatoes were ‘summer’ ripe and flavorful as witnessed both in the “Greek salad and the grilled tomato feta appetizer. The shrimp spaghetti was the only dinner entree ordered. The pasta was perfect al dente complimented with very flavorful and tender shrimp. To finish off the meal we again asked that they surprise us. A “custard” resting on a sweet string phyllo bed was a delightful end to the meal. All the dishes were of generous size and could be easily shared. I highly recommend this overlooked urban restaurant. The staff friendly and knowledgeable, the decor very tasteful, and the food very fresh and beautifully plated.
