" Had a delightful dinner at Ela Mesa last night! The decor is stunning, giving it a truly Mediterranean feel. The calamari was some of the best I've had – crispy and not greasy at all. The service was excellent; our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and made some great recommendations. I appreciated the complimentary dessert to finish off our meal! My only complaint was the wait time; it was a bit on the longer side, but it was worth it for the delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were initially drawn in by the reviews and were not disappointed! The dining area was immaculate, and the staff were super nice. The spanakopita was flaky and full of flavor. My partner had the seafood pasta, which they described as divine. We also had the lemon potatoes, which were so good we ended up ordering more! Unfortunately, the service was a bit slow, but that didn’t ruin our overall experience. I’d definitely return for another meal soon. Such a hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I hosted a small gathering at Ela Mesa and it couldn't have turned out better! The staff was incredibly accommodating, making sure that we had everything we needed for the evening. The food was authentic and fantastic; our guests also raved about the tzatziki and the grilled meats. The setting was perfect for a relaxed evening with friends. A little pricey, but well worth it for the quality and service. I will definitely return for my next special event! " (*Curated Review*)

" Restaurant was beautifully decorated and offered a delightful atmosphere for a dinner date with my partner. We ordered various appetizers, including the fried zucchini and the dolmadakia, and they were both wonderful! The main courses didn't disappoint either. My grilled chicken was juicy and well seasoned, though I felt the portion size could be a bit larger for the price. All in all, I would recommend this place to friends and will certainly be back for another visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ela Mesa is a real treasure in Gaithersburg. The blend of authentic Greek flavors with a modern twist is simply divine! I tried the seafood risotto, and it was rich and satisfying. Each bite was packed with flavor, and the seafood was extremely fresh. The waitstaff was attentive and made us feel appreciated. Although the restaurant was busy, they ensured prompt service. We even got a complimentary dessert at the end, which was a lovely touch! I cannot wait to visit again and explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ela Mesa Taste of Greece is fantastic! Their take on traditional dishes is both authentic and exciting. The roasted goat was a special, and I couldn’t get enough – it was cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor! The server was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a great experience. The decor was an elegant touch, bringing a slice of Greece right here to Maryland. I'd only suggest that they could offer more variety in desserts, but the meal overall was delightful. Will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic experience here with a lovely mix of flavors in my dishes. The grilled octopus was exceptionally well done. The only critique I would have is that I found the portion to be slightly smaller than expected for the price. The staff was friendly and helpful, but they were a bit scattered during our busy dinner rush. Overall, I can see why this restaurant has such high ratings. I will likely be returning soon!
