We visited on the 4th of July, so service may have been a bit off. Food was great, a bit expensive, but the view was great.

This was a first time experience for all of us int he party. Many good menu selections. It was difficult what to choose. For appetizers, we had the calamari, the crab cake and the wedge salad: ALL GOOD! Calamari was the best I've ever had. For entrees, we had the pizza margharitte, the scallops and the grouper. My scallops were the best (IMHO) although the grouper was a close second. I didn't care for the pizza but the person that ordered it did. Desserts were fantastic! I strongly recommend Ela's!

My partner and I went to Ela's for a Saturday date night. The layout of the restaurant provides quiet, romantic corners despite the crowds. We had an amazing view of the sunset over the sheltered cove in the center of HHI. The musician played just the right songs. Our server, James, was beyond knowledgeable of both the menu and specials, and he knew when we needed some time to ourselves.

Ela's outdoor patio has a beautiful view to the harbor. Unfortunately the food wasn't terribly compelling. Lots of fried options and few salads or light fare. In the heat, not many want to devour a heavy steak or mashed potatoes. Our server was very attentive and the wine list was good.

I made the reservation online and add a special request, since it has water view! I request a window with water view. Upon arrival, we were promptly seeted by a window with a great view of the bay! The ambience very pleasant and the live music along with great menu options and a perfect service made a very pleasant experience for my family!

On an island where the competition in the food and beverage industry is strong, ELA's stands out for this almost 20 year annual visitor. Fresh, perfectly prepared seafood. Great presentation, everything fresh from the shrimp and scallop ceviche, the house specialty crabcake that was all crab to the pan roasted grouper that was nothing short of perfect. Add in the side of crab risotto, Arnoldo's stellar service and topped off with amazing cheesecake and it ranks up there with the best dining experiences I have ever had and I ... read more

Dining at Ela's was one of the best experiences we've had on the Island. The food was outstanding. The Halibut was cooked to perfection and the Diver scallops were fantastic. The service was excellent! And the view of the water was outstanding! We will definitely be returning to Ela's in the near future.

This was our first visit to Ela's. This restaurant was suggested to us by a passer-by in the Shelter Cove area. The food was wonderful -- the wine selections great -- the service was exceptional (our server - Eduardo -- thank you!). We had the fried green tomato appetizer - great! For dinner, I had the lobster/linguine special & my husband had the crab cakes. Chocolate soufflé for dessert. ALL delicious! After dinner, we walked around Shelter Cove area. We enjoyed Ela's so much at dinner, we returned to listen to the guitari... read more
