Had lunch on 4/29/14. Ate inside (a bit breezy outside.) Very nice view of harbor and inlet from marsh. Had the fish tacos (made with swordfish.....very good.) Also had fresh lemonade/iced tea (Arnold Palmer)....also VERY good. Hard to rate kitchen since luncheon menu was a bit limited. But liked what we saw. Would go back.

The restaurant is upstairs and has a beautiful deck overlooking the water and boat docks. We were greeted right away and had a lovely table. The service was attentive but not overbearing. The food offerings were lovely. Nicely plated and the server was knowledgeable about the food. I had the Grouper. Perfect!! Beautiful crust and and perfect temperature. The side on my dish was to be spring vegetables but they were all root veggies except for a few asparagus and they were all a bit tough. My husband had the scallops served w... read more

We ate brunch at Ela's. Food and drink were excellent, service was not attentive. Didn't really welcome us very well, offered us the smallest table although many were available (but did let us change), needed to have check adjusted as they still had register programmed for Easter weekend prices. Food and outdoor seating were great. They could work on some friendliness and some happiness to improve the experience.

Our party of 6 sat outside on a cool evening ... Had me a little worried -but the heaters were great and we were comfy all night. Food was fantastic -recommend the grouper on the menu! We had a 7 pm res ... Sat outside and watched the sun set while eating and drinking with my family :). That's living well! Waiter did rush us which i didn't appreciate .. We ignored him.

We chose ELA'S for a special occasion - our post wedding dinner and were not disappointed. The views are wonderful and the food equals the view. Hubby and I both had fish,he declared his swordfish was a winner, my grouper was tender and very favorful. Adjustments were made to mine due to gluten allergy and it was still very tasty. The only not as good part of my dinner is that veggies were nested in what must have been 1-2 tablespoons of butter (unmelted) so to me unedible. The waiter was good and knowledge double checking a... read more

The food was great! Scallops & risotto outstanding. Crab cakes were also great. Server was nice but not attentive, it took way too long to take our drink orders & when he delivered them he spilled half a beer which he left us to clean up & didn't bring a new one & charged us for it. So many other options, won't be going back. It was pricey which food reflected bilut no excuse for poor service.

My party of eight were seamlessly fit in and seated on the outdoor dining area in spite of my mishap of specifying only 4 in the reservation, just one of several "we'll make it happen" Ela's responses during a wonderful evening with friends. Food selections, preparation, and service were excellent. Waterfront ambiance was delightful and Ela's will be an island favorite for us.
