The setting for this restaurant is great with a terrific view of Shelter Cove harbor. The menu is creative. Two appetizers we would recommend were the lobster nachos and the lobster bisque. The overall menu offers good variety and they have some interesting daily specials. We come to Hilston Head 2 times per year and discovered Ela's last year. We highly recommend it.

We went out for an enjoyable Monday evening dinner and for the most part, we were pleased. The calamari was wonderful and so were the other appetizers. My grouper was OK, a little dry though. Our server Kateryna was amazing trying to juggle too many tables at one time. She was always pleasant and helpful but was stretched too thin. The noise level was very loud which made conversation difficult. That was my main complaint.

Heard that this venue was a bit above all the other casual outside seafood restaurants, which I love, but wanted something a little nicer this time. Ela's delivered. We had a party of six and I was so pleasantly surprised that th table was round......th best for conversation. In addition, th outdoor seating was terrific. Food was great, windy was great and service very good. It's a must go in HH.

Ela's was in a lovely location but VERY NOISY. THE TWO OF US COULD NOT CONVERSE NOR COULD WE HEAR THE MUSICIAN WHO WAS ENTERTAINING. The answer was probably to request outdoor seating for the dining room was not pleasant for us.

We have dined here many times, and food and service have always been superb. My favorite appetizer is their calamari; the best we have had anywhere n the USA. It is cut from the cheek and the pieces are about 4" long and thick; very, very tender. The views are lovely; when making reservations, request a table near a window. If weather permits, eat outside.
