Best dinner for these "snow birds" during 3 months on Island. Unique dishes & best fried green tomatoes of all the best restaurants.

This was our second trip to ELA's. Again, the food was great and presented well. My 6 year old granddaughter was with us and they have a short but very adequate children's menu. Now that the time has changed, we had the opportunity to look over the harbor at Shelter Cover. I will try it again when it is warmer so that we can sit outside on the balcony.

I dined at Ela's last week with my wife and two friends while we were visiting Hilton Head. It was a mixed experience. My companions were pleased with their entrees (two scallops and one swordfish). My entree (the featured special, a paella with scallops, mussels, and clams) was not very good. The chicken was barely cooked, the rice was soggy, two of the four mussels were unopened. It wasn't bad enough to send back (and I am not "that guy") but not good. It's not fair to pan a place for one dish on one night, so I will only ... read more

We came back to see if food had improved and my husband's steak was great but my scallops were just so-so. Other spots on the island do scallops much better. We shared lobster nachos which were delicious but very messy to eat! We did not have an amazing sunset this visit, but this would be the spot for sunset viewing-- great view!

I understand that it is fairly new. Our overall experience was very good, but a few criticisms. This resaurant is LOUD. Perhaps partly because we were seated next to a table of 8, but other areas without large parties seemed noisy as well. The service was lackluster at best. Assigning one waiter to parties of 6 and 8 simultaneously as well as other diners does not make for an overall good experience. Seated for over an hour before our appetizers even arrived. We were NEVER offered water after the original service. We had to ... read more

Great food, small but nice wine list (fairly priced). The swordfish was incredible!

We had a fantastic experience. Great views, inside or out on the deck. Great food. We had the scallops and halibut. Both were incredible. An absolute must is to get a side order of the wild mushroom rosotto. I've had very good risotto before but this was the best .
