    A place that my wife and I truly love to visit. We feel a real connection here. We see the manager multiple times during dinner checking quality and satisfaction. The service is top notch; everyone has great hustle, but no one looks hurried or rushed. The food is meticulously prepared, and delicious. The drinks from the bar are tasty and crafted from the best spirits. This is the perfect date-night get-away. The energy of the atmosphere in Alexander's had total strangers from different tables talking and laughing with each other. You will not be disappointed!

    We thoroughly enjoy going to Ela's. The building is beautiful with nautical art throughout and gorgeous views of Shelter Cove. It has several dining areas both inside and out, so it has an intimate atmosphere despite lots of diners. The service is always excellent. The wine list is also a pleasure, but we always get Molly Dooker The Boxer Shiraz, which the waiter always prepares just right. The food is awesome with daily seafood specials. They are very good about special diets.

    We had a wonderful meal- wine, scallops, steak w cauliflower, carrot cake, and after dinner drinks. Our server was terrific, friendly and very attentive. The food was delicious and the quantities were large (we split everything and still brought a large doggie bag home). The one thing we didn’t love was the noise level in the restaurant. No one was excessively loud, but the cumulative effect made for a meal that wasn’t very relaxing. Otherwise, we highly recommend!
