Our first visit to Ela's Blue Water Grille was outstanding. The swordfish that I had may have been the best swordfish I have ever tasted. Seasoned and cooked to perfection, fresh like it may have been caught earlier in the day. My wife's scallops were also delectable and the cocktail and wine list was very good, as were the dessert choices. The location was very nice with a dramatic view of the length of Shelter Cove. The only thing we may find a bit on the negative side was that the service might have been a bit more attent... read more
We arrived in Hilton Head for a week with friends and were staying at Shelter Cove. We had reservations elsewhere (which we cancelled) but were too tired to drive anywhere so we decided to check out the restaurants at Shelter Cove - there are 5-6 of them. Ela's looked nice and had a nice view so we went there and were we glad we did. So glad we ended up eating there 3 of the 6 nights we were there. Great and reasonably priced drinks at the bar. Nice wine list. And the best grouper we've had in maybe forever. Seared Tuna righ... read more
Disappointing. Starting with a hostess that didn't smile and ended with an "extra" item tacked on our bill. Food was good, but not great. Nothing inspired here. For the price, there are better options!
We did wait until our last night on the island. What a mistake, the food was perfect, good selection to cover picky eaters from meat only no veggies person, to seafood lover, to a three year old. Covered outdoor seating overlooking Shelter Cover Marina was delightful, excellent wine list, perfect cocktails, and outstanding service. I'd go back i n heart beat - but wait, I waited till the last night so I can'tt go back.
We'd read and heard great things about Ela's but unfortunately for us, it didn't quite live up to expectations. We were initially seated in the main dining room which has a cavernous ceiling, causing a very high noise level. We asked to be moved and were shortly seated at a better table. (BTW, ask for a table on the deck when making a reservation. They look fabulous, but we couldn't get one.) So, the Pros: -the wine list was terrific -our waitress was very sweet (more below) -they have an interesting calamari which is quite ... read more
I have been to Ela's several times over the past few years. The ambiance is so nice. The food selection is good and varied. The service is attentive. I would recommend an outdoor table to enjoy the view of the harbor. the best time to go is before sunset.
Fabulous dinner. Staff was attentive and accommodating. Scenic view to compliment our meals Crab cake a must 97% crab meat. Tuna sushi grade, melt in your mouth! We will definitely return!!!
Waiter was very knowledgeable about the food and the wine Beautiful view Entrees are pricey and adding a separate charge for sauces (i.e. bernaise) was a bit tacky for such a high end restaurant
Always our favorite when we come to HH. Stacks up well against any of the restaurants in California where we live! Highly recommend!!
