Ela's is tucked away in a quiet serene harbor. Great food, cool bar area for pre-dinner drinks, amazing view, and the owners greet you at the door! We had the pleasure dining here last Saturday, and have nothing but great things to say. It is a must-visit for someone traveling here. The grouper special was perfectly cooked with well-balanced flavors, and the french onion soup could not have been better. Look forward to coming back next vacation to the island.

This restaurant is a gem, our new favorite on Hlton Head Island. The interior is beautiful with nicely spaced tables and wonderful views of the water from every table. Outside seating is available. We did not experience excessive noise, which other reviewers have commented about. Our waiter was friendly and helpful with food tips. Finally, the food was simply fabulous. For appetizers, you can't miss with the calamari or the fried green tomatoes. My wife raved about the encrusted grouper on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes. Th... read more

This was our second time there and both times it was outstanding! They had live music this time and we danced until the end! What a great place! It's a wonderful place to take out of town guests and the service, food and view are all spectacular!

Upon arriving at the restaurant we were immediately led to a nice table with an outstanding view of the inlet to Shelter Cove. We were served by Michelle who was great, and when we asked for wine advice she had Ken, the manager, assist us with an excellent “off-list” Pinot Noir that suited our palate and price point. We had the Boursin Cheese & Crab Dip followed by the Pear Arugula salad and soup du jour. For entrees we tried the Diver Scallops and the Onion Crusted Grouper and they were all excellent. We were too stuffed fo... read more

Well we went to Ela's not knowing it was the old ocean rest. The view is still terrific!! Our food was okay. I ordered the grouper which came with a lobster (sauce) the sauce was also the same at my (soup)lobster bisque. I wish the server would have said it would be the same. why have it twice.My children ordered the filet mignon which was very good and the menue. If would go for a special occasion again.

Maitre'd had selected a beautiful spot on the veranda overlooking the Shelter Cove Marina. Server was casual and friendly, which made for a relaxed evening. We enjoyed the house sangria. Fish was beautifully cooked with a papaya salsa sauce and complimented by an unusual, but tasty risotto with cranberries. A little pricey for every day dining, but good for a special occasion.
