Elia Pleasanton - Table reservation

It was very crowded and even though we had reservations were seated about 15 min's later. We were a party of 5 and were seated very close to a large party. My husband had a seat very close to the party and was actually in the pathway. He was bumped several times with passing traffic and when the party was leaving he was again, was bumped with purses and the party saying their farewells. Then to top it off, a coat/purse rack fell on him. The manager did however, apologize but noting else. I have been to Elia's several times and wanted my husband to enjoy his first time. I don't think he did.

Brought my wife here for a birthday dinner. While very loud, the place was beautiful. Our waiter was very attentive as were the busboys. We shared the octopus appetizer— very tender and delicious. Wish it were an entee item. Also shared the Greek salad which was so authentic. My wife loved the seafood paella and I loved the bucatini pasta. Beautifully presented and awesome flavors. The only downside if there was one was it is a bit difficult getting the lobster meet out of the shell — but well worth it!!! Will definitely go back for another date again.

Crowded, loud and lack of intimacy.Expect strangers coats to be hung up next to your table in an already crowded space suffocating you further.Don't plan on hearing your tablemates, just cacophony. (For the restaurant; there are ways to fix this, google is your friend.)Do plan on overpaying for an average meal.If this is your scene, then you're in for a treat.I walked out of my last dining experience. This is not it.
