   Gorgeous decor. Lovely violinist playing live alongside the romantic lighting: truly relaxing. Extremely comfortable seating with a view of the Miami river. The food portions were huge which I appreciated, and their drinks were not light on the alcohol in which I appreciated as well. The servers and waiters had a great spirit. The desert menu was quite special and I loved that the manager/owner took the time to come and explain a special Syrian desert that takes two days to prepare and some ingredients imported directly from Santorini. The pricing of everything was worth it; not expensive in comparison to other Miami “hyped” restaurants like Giselle or Sexy fish, and the food was definitely WAY better here at Elia. Just overall WOW. It was a girls night for me, but definitely would be a lovely date night (it was family friendly as well). I will be back soon!

   I went to dinner with 2 other coworkers. I have been wanting to visit for some time now. The restaurant was modernly decorated, nice view of the water. The appetizers (meat balls & octopus) were tasty but i did not car for the charred taste of the octopus. And for my main meal i had the lobster pasta which was great, i would definitely order that again.

   I had the charred octopus, Caesar salad and spicy rigatoni. Everything came out good, nice flavor and within a reasonable time after ordering. Alonso was a great server. He was attentive.

    Exceptional new spot in Miami. Great views of the river, beautiful design of the restaurant, delicious food, great music, excellent service. It’s obvious there is a lot of consideration to the details here. Would recommend for any number of occasions.
