We chose the perfect evening for dinner at Ela's. In the years we have been visiting HHI, it was our first time at the restaurant. The weather was great for outdoor dining. My entree, a pasta special with scallops and shrimp was very good. Although I don't remember what my husband chose, I do remember he was not as happy with his choice. All in all, we agreed it was a pleasant experience, with a very fine server, and Ela's will be on our list for the next beach vacation.

Nice place right in the cove. Server responded well when we opted to split a couple of courses so that we could try more items. Calamari was very good - a nice cut. Pear arugula salad better than most and the crab cakes were perfect with virtually no filling. The only tough thing is the crowded parking lot. You are well served to send a person in to ask for parking help if the lot is full. They made a spot for us by moving an employee car. Nice touch!

My sister, daughters and I had dinner at Ela's on a Saturday evening. It wasn't overly busy as the weather had been rainy. The outdoor seating was very nice and the food good, however, the service was really unfriendly. The server seemed annoyed that my youngest daughter ordered her meal selections from the appetizer menu. One of our party was vegetarian and despite calling ahead to ensure this wouldn't be a problem, our server made no attempt to accommodate her. We have been to restaurants that are always happy to prepare a... read more

All of our steaks were overcooked and the service rushed. My great aunt had her plate removed when she still had food on her fork - twice. We could feel the stress in the staffs interaction with us. It was a dissapointing meal for which we paid over $900.00.

While it is a little pricey, this spot is a must. The Calimari was to die for and our meals were top notch.

Our family of four had a wonderful meal on the deck overlooking the river and harbor from above. The service was excellent. I had the special sesame wasabi tuna which was excellent and my wife enjoyed the scallops. The teenage boys had duck and mahi mahi --both were pleased. All meals were very good as was the dessert tray. We will return for a special night in the future.
