Elia - CA 94566

Elia is a fantastic spot for weekend brunch in Pleasanton! The service was warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The food really impressed us — the lamb chops were juicy and flavorful, and the lobster risotto was rich and perfectly cooked. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted just as good as it looked. Great ambiance for a relaxed yet upscale brunch experience. We’ll definitely be coming back!

The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful and the service was super good. They checked in on us so many times and the food was great! Chicken souvlaki was amazing, the cous cous side imo could be replaced with something better I wasn’t a huge fan but the arugula was great. We also liked the lobster pasta and risotto. The filet mignon souvlaki was good too. They gave us a cute baklava for my friends birthday too and were super attentive!

This place is amazing. One of the best Mediterranean place in tri-city. We got their calamari, which was really lightly battered and very crispy, the squid inside was firm and succulent. For main course, my wife got their vegetarian moussaka , which had a lot of cheese and my wife liked it. I got their halibut, which probably had one of the best tomato sauce , I ever tasted. My only small complaint is the potato chunks in that dish, were a little undercooked. Our kid ordered the chicken skewers , that came with French fries, he liked it. Altogether, amazing place to visit for a dinner with family or friend.

The ambiance was great, so was the food, the service was even better. We ordered about 10 dishes and loved them all with the exception of the cauliflower (it could use a sauce or glaze). We also ordered a few different cocktails which were also all delicious. Highly recommend!

My husband, my son, and I had dinner here on December 31st, and it was our very first visit. From start to finish, the experience was truly delightful. We enjoyed every aspect of this restaurant. The tzatziki, made with Greek yogurt, Persian cucumber, dill, garlic, mint, and pita, was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The escargot was delicious, the ribeye steaks were tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection, and the lamb chops were absolutely finger-licking good. The vegetable sides were perfectly seasoned and cooked, especially the potatoes, which stood out. For dessert, we had the Sokolatina, a warm chocolate cake with melted chocolate and ice cream, simply exquisite. The drinks were excellent as well; it was our first time trying the Evil Eye cocktail, and we loved it. The atmosphere was warm, beautiful and festive. First class service too! We highly recommend this restaurant—100 percent. An unforgettable dining experience we will happily return to.

Visited on a Saturday night for a birthday dinner with a large group. It was cold and raining, and we were seated outside on the covered patio — the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were warm, even bringing cozy blankets for everyone!! Service was excellent! They cut and served the birthday cake for us, which was a nice touch. The flaming cheese appetizer (Saganaki) is a must-try — fun and flavorful. I had the filet mignon souvlaki, which was tender and delicious, and the roasted veggies on the side were delicious! Great food, thoughtful service, and a memorable night despite the weather.

If you ever have a chance to eat on their patio next to the fire. DO IT! The staging is done with such elegance that it felt like we were eating in a Michelin grade restaurant. The coconut ceviche is so good! It even came IN A COCONUT!
