ELIA

Seabass was amazing service super friendly will return. Great location me and my husband had a very nice time.

Great restaurant! I've only been here twice but would 100% go back any time I'm in Walnut Creek area.
Not only their food is amazing, everything we ordered did not disappoint, their service is top notch.
We ordered tzatziki, melitzanosalata and Greek salad for appetizers and both dips were amazing, salad was great too. Pita is super fresh and warm.
We also had Levraki (sea bass) which was delicious, comes out with head and tail removed (not quite like branzino), and lamb. Lamb was on a more rare side which I'm not a huge fan of but my family enjoyed it.

Poached pear was fresh and light to end our great experience.

Came here on a Monday night for dinner. Made reservations but it was not busy and got seated right away.

We ordered fried calamari, seafood paella, grilled octopus, feta and watermelon, a bottle of wine, and the pita bread with dip, and ended it with grilled pear dessert.

I enjoyed mostly everything except the paella rice and feta with watermelon. Paella rice was not cooked evenly. Rice was wet and mushy outside and hard from the inside. Feta with watermelon was a weird mix and not my taste so I did not like it.

Our waiter was very attentive and always checking up on us if we need anything.

Overall, my friends and I enjoyed the food and it felt like we were in Greece with the esthetic decor.

I've been wanting to try Elia as I reminds me of my trip to Greece. I finally had the chance on a Sunday afternoon at around 3:00. We were seated right away as there was only four other parties when we arrived.

Staff were friendly and efficient. The decor was lovely and inviting. My expectation was high ... until the main course was served.

The fried cheese was yummy and the sea bass was delish! Sadly though, the Halibut dish we also ordered was overcooked/dry. It may just be a one-off, but I probably wouldn't take any chances with them again.

Service and ambiance was great! Super friendly, attentive, especially as we sat at the bar. The food was prepared and presented super well. Best grilled octopus I've had & beet salad was fire. The calamari was a little overdone for my preference. I love their dolmas, but my company debates me. Desert is a must try- we had the pear this time and it was marinated with some type of cherry sauce- delicious! I would come back!

Such an aesthetically pleasing and tasteful restaurant. I booked my husbands birthday dinner here and the staff did an amazing job being attentive. Upon booking the coordinator reached out to me and asked if I would like a birthday celebration notated on the menus. I thought that little detail being offered itself made the night special other than the amazing flavors.


I ordered the Lavarki (seabass) and it was perfection. The fresh taste of the fish was lightly seasoned to a very perfect bite.

My husband ordered the lamb shank and it was very tender, rich in flavor and paired with a nice tomato flavored orzo.

Our table ordered a few mezza's, dessert and mocktails.
Everyone enjoyed their meal, the service was great and it's worth trying if you're local.

I literally have no words for the filet. Okay i do have words. Blow your d#%k off good. That's an industry term. I mean. Honestly. I'd leave my wife for that steak. Been happily married for 15 years but nothing is set in stone. I mean wowwwwww. Just wow. If you are eating anywhere else. Huge mistake. Andrea was awesomesauce. Also and industry term. Like amazing amazing. Cheers to Elia. Are u open for brekkie? Bc I need it. #hooked.

Having gone to both locations I prefer the original

Service: very slow, had to ask for a server to order drinks. Turned out the one who gave us water was our server but didn't tell us? So 20 min later asked the hostess to get our server

Food
Eggplant: really great flavors would get again
Octopus: the other location portion size was wayyyy better. Here is was a tiny amount. Amazing flavors but felt gipped for what we got
Paella : very salty and too much liquid wouldn't get this again. The runny egg on top wasn't necessary
Lamp chops: didnt try but my friend said was done perfect
Baklava: cant go wrong with sugar, asked for a side of ice cream as well :)

Drinks
Evil eye: tasty but the blue edible on top will turn your mouth blue lol
Espresso martini: espresso was light ok, but have had better

Great ambiance but gonna stick to the original

If you want a taste of a european summer, then you have to check out this fabulous restaurant. The interior and exterior are both stunning, instantly transporting you from the Bay Area to Greece. Our service was excellent and so was the ambiance. Thankfully it was a slow Sunday afternoon because this place can get very busy!

We ordered the kotopoulo souvlaki (chicken skewers + couscous) and the seafood bucatini (pasta). For cocktails we tried the evil eye, the gift of gaia, and the santorini. Since we were celebrating my birthday and my friends graduation, they brought us each out a delicious piece of baklava. Everything was absolutely divine. I truly cannot wait for my next date at elia

Girl dinner at Elia!!! Best bartender, Dre, making the most beautiful cosmos and killer martinis. We paired it with the roasted cauliflower and flaming cheese. Great service, excellent food and drinks, and such a fun vibe !
