" Instagram-worthy food and ambiance! Elia definitely brings Mediterranean flair to Chicago. Each dish was beautifully plated and tasted phenomenal! Our server was friendly and helpful with recommendations. The only downside was the price point. A tad steep for some dishes, yet worth every penny for the quality of meals we enjoyed. I’d highly recommend the pumpkin dessert! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fabulous experience at Elia! I went with a group of friends and we ordered a selection of small plates to share. The zucchini fritters and eggplant were a hit! The flavors were vibrant, and we really got a feel for authentic Mediterranean cuisine. The service was attentive, though the restaurant was busy. We made some amazing memories and will be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Elia always impresses me with its atmosphere and vibe. The food is consistently good, and the presentation is lovely. I always recommend their grilled seafood options—they’re fresh and delicious! Service varies, as my last visit had some hiccups, but the food makes up for it. Definitely a place to enjoy if you're in the mood for Mediterranean cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Elia for the first time and had an excellent experience. The Mediterranean decor sets the perfect vibe for dinner. Our friendly waiter helped us navigate the menu and made it easy to choose what to eat. I was quite impressed with the flavors in each dish we ordered. I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a beautiful evening at Elia . The food was excellent, full of flavors that transported me back to my travels in the Mediterranean. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, but the standout was definitely the grilled octopus! The ambiance is upscale yet cozy, making it perfect for a special night out. Although we waited for our drink order, it was a minor blemish on an otherwise perfect night. " (*Curated Review*)

" A solid choice for Mediterranean food in Chicago! I loved the saj lamb dish – truly delicious and filling. The server made a few good recommendations and was really friendly. The only downside was the slow drink service at first. However, the environment overall was lovely. A nice place to come back to forrepeat visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Elia, but I found the service to be somewhat lacking, especially during the dinner rush. Our server seemed overwhelmed and it took some time to place our order. The atmosphere was beautifully designed, but multiple small glitches in the service took away from my experience. However, the food was flavorful, particularly the lentil soup, which was hearty and delicious. I’d give it another try, hoping for improved service. " (*Curated Review*)
