Elia - CA 94566

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!

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!

A fine Greek restaurant in the Pleasanton area. We went for lunch and made a reservation. Service was a bit slow even though there was not much of a crowd. However the taste was good and the portions were just enough.

Elia is hands-down one of Pleasanton's finest dining experiences. I've been fortunate enough to visit multiple times, and I can confidently say I have never been disappointed. The restaurant provides a truly outstanding meal from start to finish. The journey begins with a fantastic variety of appetizers, which are always fresh and perfectly prepared. But the culinary experience only gets better. Both the main courses and the desserts are exceptionally good. Must-Try Dishes If you visit, these dishes are an absolute must-try—they showcase the kitchen's skill: • Lamb Chops: Tender and perfectly seasoned. • Moussaka: Rich, comforting, and authentic. • Lobster Paella: A luxurious and flavorful main course. • Whole Branzino: Flawlessly prepared and a beautiful presentation. • Ceviche: A refreshing and bright starter. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is simply lovely. Elia offers a nice ambience with comfortable options for seating both inside and outside. To top it all off, their selection of creative cocktails is inventive and pairs perfectly with the Mediterranean flavors. If you are looking for excellent food, great service, and a wonderful setting in Pleasanton, you need to dine at Elia. Highly, highly recommended!

Our group recently dined at Elia in Pleasanton, a restaurant we chose based on its excellent online reviews. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, including the Chivici, hummus, grilled seabass, lamb chops, and paella etc. Every dish was well-prepared, but the grilled seabass stood out as truly exceptional. The restaurant's atmosphere and service were also fantastic. I highly recommend a visit—and after your meal, you can enjoy a nice walk through downtown Pleasanton. While parking can be a challenge, a spot can usually be found in the nearby public lot with a little patience.

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.
