We had an early diiner outside, everything was great. we made the mistake of ordering the blackenned tuna assuming it would be cooked medium. It came out rare, but the chef fixed it for us. It was nice experience and the view was good.

Ela's is on our short list of top Hilton Head restaurants! They consistently serve up sophisticated and delicious seafood and beef entrees. My shrimp and grits appetizer was fantastic! With a touch of prosciutto over a perfectly prepared grit cake! My wife really enjoyed her Oysters Rockefeller starter. My ribeye was very good and cooked to exactly as ordered. The crab risotto side was loaded with crab meat and creamily delicious! My wife ordered the special Beef Rib and Lobster Tail as a main course and she loved it! A coup... read more

I rsvp'd a birthday brunch for my fiance and we drove from Atlanta and it was the best experience of our entire weekend. They sat us outside as requested, gave my fiance a complimentary birthday dessert and best of all - the pianist played the 'Happy Birthday' song for my fiance! It was such a beautiful and thoughtful gesture. The waiter was attentive and the manager was very accomodating. The view was spectacular. We got dressed up and we really felt like we were fine dining with the ambiance and the views of the water. Bes... read more

We were here for our anniversary. The food, the view and the service were superior! I look forward to our next trip to HHI, and Ela's will be a must!

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
