This was our first time at Ela's, and it was nothing short of fantastic. We sat outside on the patio and had a great view of the marina and sunset. The Wine & Food Festival pris fixe menu was terrific. My favorite dishes of the evening were the lobster nachos and the bleu cheese walnut cheesecake paired with the port. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Hilton Head.

I reserved a table for two online at open table. We arrived 30 min early and was seated quickly at our table that I requested with a view of the cove. Our server (Catalina) was very helpful at assisting me pick out a wine to go with our meals as I know absolutely nothing about wine. The meals were right on spot and the desserts were a nice touch. Thanks to the chef, our server and staff that made our 9 year anniversary special.

No matter the occasion this is the spot! Bring a loved one or bring your whole clan and or friends. It does not matter for they up for the task. Service is great , food is awesome and the location is a true gem. Have drinks at the bar after dinner for it does not get enough credit for being a great spot on the island. As a full time resident in HHI this is one of my favorite spots not just here but anywhere. Go and enjoy!

Overall service was very good, both fish dishes were a bit over cooked. Good flavor, and presentations. Wine list is very favorably priced, compared to other restaurants.

Excellent food that was well prepared in a very creative manner. If you order the fired green onions prepare to share, very generous potions. Wine list was interesting and very fairly priced. Very attentive and appropriate service. Come at sunset for wonderful views.

Our favorite place on the island. We have recommended ELA'S to friends and family. The owner and staff treat you like family. The calamari is the best I have had.

We made a reservation at Ela's Blu Water after finding great reviews on Open Table and Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed. We arrived early and sat at the bar to have a drink and an appetizer. The bartender was friendly and made a great drink. After sitting down to dinner we were very happy with our meals. The grouper was fresh and seasoned well and the crab cakes were not overly seasoned. Fresh and full of crab. It was a great find for us as we only were on Hilton Head for three nights. I had a delicious salad and sorbe... read more
