We enjoyed our dinner at Ela's very much. The appetizers were tiny and not enough to share - our only quibble besides the fact that the grouper was overcooked. Problem alleviated somewhat by extra sauce. Flounder, salmon and tuna were great. Our server was MIA at times and had to be reminded that our wait fro our meals was quite long (over 25 minutes) but overall our experience was favorable. We love Ela's location and the food is generally excellent.

Ela’s is our favorite place to visit in HH. The weather was a bit cool and breezy. We asked to be moved to another section. Our first waitress was not exactly friendly after we asked to be moved. No offer was made to put us on the inner end of the outdoor patio nor were heaters offered.

We were delighted to be seated overlooking the marsh. The views at sunset were magnificent. Our server was extremely attentive and provided detailed information and recommendations from the menu. Both the food and wine selection was varied and all four of us ate everything including the bread basket. Our friend raved about the blackened tuna and his wife enjoyed the short ribs. Both my husband and I enjoyed the steamed lobster with citrus risotto. Will definitely return on our next trip to HHI

Excellent service Karen was very helpful and knowledgeable about the food. We managed to get sat outside overlooking the entrance to the Marina loved the place and definitely now on our favourite list of places to eat when visiting Hilton Head.

Always love dining on the water. ELA’s overlooks a marina. My gumbo soup and crab stack were good, however; the crab was tasteless and you had to search for the 1/2 t of avocado. Lobster bisque was good, my husband felt the crab cake was also tasteless and a rather small portion. The chocolate mousse cake and key lime pie were very good. Service was fine but, not extraordinary.

Ela's in Shelter Cove is a must-visit when we have guests visiting. It has been a stellar choice every time!! One of my favorites on all of Hilton Head Island!!!!☆☆☆☆☆

Easter menu is uninspired. We love the regular menu. We could not get the regular menu till 5PM so that took away from our 2:30 reservation time. The staff appeared to be waiting for us to leave the entire time. We probably will go elsewhere next Easter. We love the regular menu/amazing ambiance and will continue to come for that.
