Everything was delicious. Each dish had a separate and unique taste. We sampled 5 appetizers and the fisherman’s Stew. Next time I’m ordering the Lamb Chop.

The food was SO GOOD. The service was great as well. The only thing I wish I had been made aware of was the pre-set valentines menu. I was let down because I had been looking at the menu for weeks getting excited over the food and drinks I wanted to try. I guess I'll just have to go back, and my stomach is OK with that.

I was very excited to spend my valentines evening with my wife and another couple. Our table was rite inside the front door and we could not hear ourselves speak or each other due to the volume of the guest performer. We all asked very nicely if the volume could be adjusted and were told no there is only one volume. We were told the performer was an hour long yet lasted well over an hour and a half. He was still playing when we left. The food was excellent, the service was great but it’s unfortunate that our valentines dinner we traveled into Chicago for turned into a front row seat at a concert.

My boyfriend and I went to Elia for Valentine’s Day. I was first upset because there was no indication that there would be a price fixed menu, however, we enjoyed the food and live violinist very much! Service was fast and easy!

We recently dined at Elia for the first time and were thrilled with our experience! Mustafa, our attentive server, made sure we were well taken care of. The food was outstanding—don't miss the Chef Selection Mezze and the mixed grill platter for two, both offering fantastic variety. Each dish was beautifully presented, and the team was incredibly hospitable. We can't wait to come back!
