Friendly service, great view of harbour, food was excellent but hush puppies were chewie and not great that night. They had also ran out of the special by 7PM and did not have the wine we ordered from the menu. Otherwise our entrees were tasty and fresh.
This was our first time at Ela's and we could not have had a better experience for Mother's Day. My son a chef on Hilton Head had recommended it to us as he frequents Ela's for special occasions. Chef Megan dished up the best Surf & Turf that we have had on the island as well as off island. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for great food, service, views and ambiance.
I've been to Ela's a couple of times now. The food is fantastic and the calamari is a must try (it's more like calamari filets, it's phenomenal). If you are looking for a refreshing cocktail, I would strongly recommend the S.S. Refresh. Delicious! The views of Shelter Cover are gorgeous so I would strongly recommend making a reservation and requesting outdoor seating. Will definitely dine there again!
We stumbled on Ela's when we moved to the island in June. We always go back for special occasions or to get our "lobster fix". The Lobster Carbonara is rich but sinfully delicious, so it is an occasional treat for us. Sitting on the balcony may be the best view for dinner on the island. The yachts are awesome, families go by in kayaks, and smaller boats are returning from a day on the water or headed out for an evening. Beautiful and vibrant with activity.
This was our fourth visit and the food and the views just keep getting better. Multiple options exist for dining outside and views from every table are super. The staff is very attentive and have very helpful suggestions. I LOVE the Calamari. Can't wait for our next visit.
Ela's is one of the finest! Fresh and Fabulous...with such beautiful presentation of each course. The Roasted Beet Napoleon Appetizer is a must...Followed by melt-in-your-mouth fresh grouper served over truffle potato puree. The wine list was extensive and reasonably priced. Romantic outdoor seating is available.....and the staff...they couldn't have been more attentive. Can't wait to return ...so many yummy choices ...it was truly hard to decide.
Wonderful atmosphere, great location, beautiful scenery. Eat outside on their balcony, it's gorgeous. We were there in May and the weather was beautiful, not too hot at all. Evening dinner, we watched the sunset over the water views. I honestly can't say enough great things about their food. A bit pricey, but worth every penny. My husband and I are really picky and usually find something that we can say wasn't up to par, but at ELA's we seriously loved every moment. From being at the bar for a quick 4 minute wait for a table... read more
Been having dinner on this island for 15 years and this is hands down the best! Food, VIEW, staff, and wine were all 5 star! Makes complete sense why they won most romantic restaurant on the island last year! Can't wait to go back! Thank you!
Reserved through Open Table, but when we arrived, they would not let us sit outside without an hour wait. Was very disappointed. Older crowd.
