The food and the service were exceptional. This is undoubtedly the best restaurant on the island.

Found Ela's Grille on Facebook after visiting Hilton Head twice a year for the past five years. Started with a Lemon drop which was really good.. My husband and I often have calamari as an appetizer and Ela's was fabulous down to the wasabi dipping sauce. For dinner I had the scallops over risotto and my husband had the swordfish. Both dishes got an A plus in our book. We sat out on the deck enjoying not only the fabulous dinner but the beautiful night on the water. We were never rushed and the service was first class.

My husband and I ate here for our anniversary while in Hilton Head on vacation. Overall, the food tasted good. My husband had the swordfish and says the flavor was excellent. I had the filet mignon and was a little disappointed because for the price, I expected something amazing and it was just mediocre, more similar to a sirloin. We shared a chocolate soufflé and creme brûlée, which were amazing! We asked the server for a wine recommendation and she should have chose something better. At least she didn't automatically choos... read more

The view was excellent! My wife had the scallops which were excellent paired with the risotto. I had the filet mignon which was cook to perfection! The cheesy potatoes topped it all off. A little pricy with $30 plates. The wine however was reasonable, the markup on a bottle was only $10-15.

Good selection, good food and service. Try the crab cakes and scallops over crab risotto.

This restaurant with its gorgeous views has SO MUCH POTENTIAL! Our service was very fair......we waited at least ten minutes for a server to take water/drink orders. Service was SLOW....."appetizer bread and hush puppies (never got the hush puppies)" came right before our main meal was served....When our party of 6 was served, the main courses came out separately, so we all had to wait until the last person was served before we started eating, out of politeness. The food was very good, but this restaurant needs to really con... read more

We loved the view at ELA's and enjoyed sitting on the balcony. Our waitress was lovely, but did not have enough knowledge about the food. The restaurant ran out of bread and a number of us waited for over 30 minutes for it to come out of the oven. Food was somewhat uneven. My appetizer was flavorless (Lobster nachos, which had very little lobster and tasted like a chopped salad with no dressing). Our steaks were cooked perfectly, but the "au poivre" sauce was not a traditional au poivre sauce, and more of a salty demi-glace.... read more

Sitting outside at Ela's is about as good as it gets. Your view is the Shelter Cove Marina and it is lovely. Our food was good. Their famous calamari was excellent as always. Raw oysters were rated highly. The disappointment was the Caesar salad. The dressing was very bland and did not taste like a typical Ceasar salad dressing. Two of our party ordered grouper, two ordered halibut and one ordered the crab cake. The grouper and crab cake were very good, the halibut was somewhat disappointing. In fact the halibut didn't taste... read more
