Once again, I have to give this place all 5 stars. I've never had a bad meal or a bad time at Elaia no matter when I go -- whether I'm there during happy hour in the off season or during peak dinner service in the peak season. Last night, my friends and I arrived a little early to our reservation but we were able to be seated immediately. Even though it was as busy as can be, our drinks and food were timed perfectly. We were not rushed. Everything was as delicious as I remember. Everyone around us seemed to be enjoying themselves, and the atmosphere was fun and festive. The employees were clearly working hard to serve the crowds but they managed it well and gave the appearance of being part of the scene. Mike, the manager, was there pitching in on the floor and making sure the night went smoothly. In a competitive dining scene like Bridgehampton, Elaia remains my favorite. It's just consistently great food and good vibes! read more

Had dinner at Elaia last night and while this restaurant is beautiful and the service is friendly, the food was just okay. The chicken skewer was nicely presented but the chicken wasn't the best quality. We also had a Greek salad (too much dressing), eggplant spread (delicious but not worth $17), and spanakorizo (just okay). Prices were very high so I don't think we'll return. read more

Delicious Greek cuisine in the heart of Bridgehampton! This is my second time at Elaia and the food and service is consistently fantastic. The DJ nights are also so fun and lively! Apps: We did various spreads, but my favorite one was the Fava. So unique and perfectly salty! Main: Manitaria Saganaki - This dish was incredible! The tomato sauce was so tangy and savory, the mushrooms were cooked perfectly, and the rice was the perfect vessel to enjoy the dish. 10/10 recommend! Can't wait to come back again for a third time! read more

Very nice ambiance, light, airy, feels like you are in Greece. Solid service, good cocktails and delicious food, especially the Moussaka. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in the Hamptons. In a sea of horrific restaurants, Elaia stands out as one of the best and is genuinely good. Can't go wrong with anything here but the chicken and fish are delicious read more

Our favorite spot in the hamptons -- been there even twice in one night. Drinks are perfection, happy hour is fun with yummy bites, and main courses like the fish are the best of the best. Cannot wait to go back! read more

The food and service here are amazing! We had the sourdough app with olives and lemon rind, the beet salad over a smear of yogurt and pine nuts, spaghetti squash and Moussaka. Every plate was delicious and plated artistically. Waitstaff was wonderful and informative. Delightful meal! We will be returning soon read more

My favorite Happy Hour Spot Love the food Fig martini is my favorite I liked it so much I now have fig vodka at home read more

Great service but the kitchen needs to get their act together on meats. Do yourself a favor and get a fish dish. The fish dishes looked and smelled amazing. I got the Bifteki. First it was overcooked, then it came out RAW, and then completely overcooked. I felt so bad for our server who was the nicest person. Holly did everything right in my book and so did the manager. The Medusa cocktail was a nice spin off and espresso martini. It reminded me of those chocolate orange balls you get in the supermarket. B+ rating Their Oktopodi Skaras was pretty good. The ambiance is nice and dimly lit with an up beat party music to it. I will consider giving this place another try. I'll probably listen to my own advice and get the Branzino next time. read more

Elaia Estiatorio in East Hampton, NY, turned our dinner into a Mediterranean dream. My daughter, wife, and I embarked on a Greek culinary journey that left us stuffed and delighted. We started with individual spreads of Melitzanosalata and Tzatziki, like a one-two punch of flavor. The Melitzanosalata was smoky and smooth, while the Tzatziki was a garlicky, creamy delight. Paired with the warm, pillowy pita, they were a match made in appetizer heaven. We also committed a drive-by with the manouri and kasseri cheese stuffed zucchini blossoms, tempura'ed to crispy perfection and served with mint and aioli. These delicate flowers, filled with cheesy goodness, were so light and airy they almost floated off the plate to Ēlýsion. We shared the KotoPoulo Souvlaki and Moussaka. The KotoPoulo Souvlaki, with its juicy grilled chicken skewers and vibrant veggies, was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. I'm always amazed it's paired with a salty yogurt cucumber dip (Tzatziki). It sounds so horrible in Western society, but it is quite the perfect match. The Moussaka, a hearty blend of eggplant, ground meat, and creamy béchamel, was the ultimate comfort food. Elaia Estiatorio has amazing food and the bar service was great. They transferred our food and wine to the table when it was ready, and I kept thinking we were kinda ignored by the waiter as our wine sat on the table instead of an ice bucket. My daughter and wife didn't seem to care. We felt transported straight to Greece without the need for a passport. We don't have a fine-dining Greek restaurant in Melbourne, Florida, and we should. read more

best authentic greek food in the hamptons. Really great spot, they have space heaters for outside seating and allow dogs outside. Street parking a plenty. Get the kabobs plate here. If you're looking for something unique and special, evenings here are great, the lighting sets the mood for a wonderful experience. read more

Food was just OK. Service was awful. Friday night at 6:30 they have a DJ blasting music making it hard to hear other people at the table. Asked the waiter if they could turn it down but refused. Water wasn't refilled. Rookie staff. read more

We had a both terrific meal & and excellent service by our waiter Angelo. The zucchini chips are a must as is the grilled haloumi cheese. The kleftiko was fork tender and flavorful. The chicken souvlaki was perfectly grilled, tasty and moist , served with tzatziki Greek fries. As they say in Greek, Nostimo! The owner Sofia came by and welcomed us. Angelo was the consummate professional. We will be back! read more

My notes say, "A"... I don't think it's a letter grade. I think it was late and I drank a lot so I must've lost my train of thought. So yeah... not extremely helpful. But now, repurposing my typsy ramblings, I give this place an "A"! Their outside, covid-era, seating wasn't 100% perfect, but it really worked for us. We were warm and we felt the love from the staff. And alcohol doesn't hurt. And great cusiine doesn't hurt as well... Yes, that's rabbit in the picture (a special). Not for everyone, but if you had tasted it I guaranteed it would've been for you. And the ubiquitous Greek lamb chops. Certainly among the best we've had. It was all-around very well prepared and border-line special food. Excellent evening... read more

My husband and I came here while it was still warm out in early October to enjoy dinner on a Saturday evening outside. We were able to bring our puppy with us since we sat outside. The service was great and the food quite good. I think the pricing is what you'd expect for the food and location so no real complaints there. We ordered 2 glasses of Greek wine each, I asked our server for a recommendation for what tasted most like Cabernet and she suggested a great option for us. For our meal, we got 2 appetizers and 2 entrees as well as the Baklava for dessert. I ordered the foie gras as my appetizer, which was delicious. The grape accompaniment went perfectly. I had not had this in a while since we haven't been eating out as much so it was nice to have some again. My husband ordered the octopus appetizer which looked equally good For our mains, I ordered the souvlaki which was juicy. The pita bread/tzatziki were delicious as were the Greek style fries. And my husband ordered the Saganaki, which was gluten free and he enjoyed a lot. The baklava was huge and since it's not gluten free I got to eat it all by myself to finish off the meal. We would definitely return. read more

SO glad we came here tonight. Had heard mixed reviews when they first opened and was having trouble getting a reservation initially because they would randomly be closed - but SO glad we decided to give it another shot. They only had reservations at 5:45 or 9:30 on a Saturday night during off season which was surprising so we opted for the 5:45 and boy are we glad we did! Until 6:30 they do a $39 3 course pre-fixe which was a great deal and delicious. I got he octopus for starter (+10) but it was a nice size and flavor (I wasn't expecting the vegetables underneath to be cold so that was a bit surprising but the capers added a really nice flavor). My husband got the saganaki which was also really nice but surprisingly not very warm. For the table we opted for the zucchini fritters appetizer which was amazing, though slightly expensive for the portion at $25. For our mains, I got the Manitaria Saganaki which was unbelievable, I wasn't sure what to expect but the variety of mushrooms were so unique and delicious. My husband got the Souvlaki which had a yummy and somewhat sweet flavor. Honestly it was perfect to mix the chicken into my dish with the mushrooms and rice. The portions are big so we're really glad we can home with leftovers. For dessert, we both opted for the orange cake which had the consistency of moist sour cream cake. I wasn't sure what to expect and was blown away. Excited for this spot ti become a new go-to! read more

The food is fantastic. The lamb chops and roast potatoes and fish dishes are incredible. The starters are all fantastic. Desert is off the charts fantastic with this orange almond honey soaked cake taking the cake. You'll love the food. I'm afraid the service is a bit off tho. It's def slow. The waiters aren't always as focussed and attentive as maybe you'd like. Perhaps this is the Greek Island vibe. After a while I guess you give in to it and maybe it forces you to relax. It's not a deal breaker because the food is so good. But it all depends on your needs and requirements. I guess if you were a needy person who likes attention showered on them by wait staff, then when you're seated, kindly declare this to your waiter. Enjoy. read more

All I can say is wow. This restaurant hits 10/10 in every regard. The quality and authenticity of the food is unlike any other Greek restaurant I've seen in the U.S.. Everything is authentic - from the music, to the wine, to the cocktails, to the Decor. I was in Greece for a month last summer and being in Elaia reminded me of being back in Greece. Tip: visit Elaia on a Wednesday and order the "Kleftiko". It's a Greek style lamb shank that is literally to die for. read more

Had a pretty bad experience here recently. Management did not handle a raucous large party properly. The large party, about 12 people, was super loud, singing and yelling and disturbing all the other patrons. Management ignored the obvious problem despite complaints. Our party of four could not talk to each other because of the racket. We were forced out without any apology from the management or effort to rectify. Too bad because the food was expensive but good. read more

Wanted to try somewhere new in the hamptons this time around. We came across this place through Yelp and decided to give it a try. My friends and I went around 5pm not knowing it would be happy hour. We were immediately seated at the bar and started with apps. We got the eggplant spread (7/10) and the saganaki appetizer (10/10). For drinks we all had the Sofia (named after the owner's wife) who happened to be seated there too - she was so friendly! For mains we had the chicken skewers (8/10) with pita and the mushroom risotto (10/10). Overall great experience, the waiters and bartenders were super nice and really made the experience for us. Definitely will be visiting again soon! read more

Lovely restaurant with a warm, welcoming vibe! We just went for a drink and ordered some small bites. Sat at the bar and got to watch the artistry of the bartender at work! The cocktails were absolutely delicious as were the appetizers but I felt the pricing was definitely on the high side even by NYC standards! Maybe check them out during happy hour? Worth a visit! read more

This is going to be a long review, so if you take anything away from it, let it be that this was the best octopus I've ever had in my life. We arrived here a half hour early for our reservation and elected to sit at the bar. AMAZING amazing cocktails. Very expensive but if you're in the mood to savor a cocktail then I highly recommend. The drink menu was given to us via iPad for Christ's sake. When we sat at the bar, my boyfriend mentioned it was my birthday, and not just a couple minutes after it seemed like the entire staff knew, which was great. After sitting at our table and being offered bread with whipped feta (mmmm) we ordered a bunch of food to share. Dips, greens, lemon potatoes, keftedes, octopus. It was plenty of food without being overwhelming. Flavors were absolutely on point, everything was super fresh and cooked perfectly. I'd really come back again just for that octopus--it was THAT good. So tender!! Richard, our server, was patient, fun, helpful, and pleasant. He was great. All of the staff are super welcoming aside from being so eager to sing happy birthday lol. While the price will keep me from coming back frequently, Elaia is now my go-to for special occasion dinners and drinks. I'd love to come back in to try an entree. I've heard wonderful things about their branzino. read more

Great place for a birthday party. We had fun and the food & drinks were awesome. Service was also excellent.

Excellent dinner. Prix fixe menu. Fava bean hummus, Greek salad, octopus, mushroom stew, branzino, greens, all excellent. Baklava a little dry, possibly stale. Great atmosphere, wonderful service. Highly recommended! read more

Omg what an incredible, pleasant experience! Everything from start to finish was wonderful here. Outstanding service, beautiful bar, authentic and very esthetic, inviting decor, and very memorable wine and food! We originally had an OpenTable reservation but opted to sit at the bar for dinner instead and we had a very delightful, indelible experience. Our bartender/server was very helpful in helping us with our menu options and recommended a delicious wine to pair with our choices. The bread with the fresh olives were amazing. We had mussels to start and though they were very good, they were nothing to write home about. A bit dry and slightly chewy, we've had better. My husband had a steak entree that he really enjoyed and I chose a seafood orzo dish that was delicious. We finished off with 2 complimentary dessert wines that were fabulous. My favorite part of the entire experience was when a certain Greek song played, the entire staff would start clapping and dancing to à la Mediterranean style, while leading all the patrons to join in as well. So much fun! We will definitely be back! read more

Ambience is nice. Service is vey good. The food is just ok. Salad is overpriced and nothing special. Greek lemon potatoes are average, I actually have had a lot better. Lamb chops were cooked well but needed more flavor. The vegetables that came with the lamb were delicious but wish there was more of them. Generally Overpriced and mediocre read more

A lovely restaurant in Bridgehampton. Great outdoor seating, delicious food. The chicken souvlaki is succulent and moist. The spaghetti with lemon flavoring is delicious. While the portions on the appetizers were stingy, they were very good especially the zucchini chips and tzaziki. One complaint - they give very little pita with the tzakiki and if you ask for more they charge quite a bit. At such a nice and expensive restaurant that's just cheap and unwarranted. But overall an excellent meal at a great restaurant. If we are back in the Hamptons we will be sure to return. read more

Went there on a quiet weeknight. Food and service were excellent. When out of season, terrific place to go

Too expensive for overcooked regular food. Limited menu, kids size portions, food is not great. 1 portion of salad cost $23 and consist of 3 slices of cucumber and 2 cherry tomatoes. $28 pan fried octopus was away too overcooked and had 10 tiny 1/4 inch cut octopus pieces. $84 lamb chops didn't have any taste. Make your own conclusion. Save your money and find another place!!!! read more

We tried the chicken skewer kabobs and you get roughly 5 cubes so the main focus of the dish is smaller considering the quantity, but the taste and hospitality is awesome. We also tried the orange cake dessert. Think of it like tres leches, but thick orange sauce on the bottom instead of the condensed sweet milk. read more

We love everything about this warm and romantic Greek restaurant. The food is fresh and exquisite in its simplicity. There is a steady buzz to the dimly lit dining room with twinkling tea lights. More recently, we've brought the experience home taking advantage of curbside pickup. We can't wait till it's time to visit and dine in again. read more

Firstly I must mention to you that my friends and I, we like trying new cuisines & flavours, we go out for food at least twice a month and we usually don't pay over 100$ per person. I must also declare to you that we don't have strange willing on food. We decided to go to this restaurant as we wanted to eat traditional greek cuisine and we read for this place on Yelp.com It is located in Bridgehampton city. It's very easy to find it, and medium - easy to park your car. We parked our cars alone and I don't know if this service is free or you have to pay extra. We reached the place at about 7 pm and as we have made a reservation in advance we had no worries on waiting for free table. However the place was full to the half of it, strange and unusual thing for a sunny Saturday noon in our country. When you get in there is a welcoming host who helped us to get a table. There is also a man (the boss I think) who helps you find your reserved table and a woman holding a "PR" position. He was not friendly at all and as about her, she had an unpleasant looking on everyone all the time. The place has bright colors, beautiful design and it looks clean and tidy. I wouldn't say it is kid-friendly. Even if we don't have kids I should mention this. Despite the fact that has very big room, it is fulfilled of tables and there's no area for kids. The first thing that you will notice, which made us disappointed, was the very loud music, so loud we couldn't intimate conversation. The menu has no certain speciality, four kinds of salad similar the one to each other with no main difference. They serve appetizers (cold & hot dishes) like saganaki, tirokafteri, fava, tzatziki, greek fries, tiganita, octopus and typical main dishes you will find in every greek tavern like chicken souvlaki and lamb chops. They also have deserts but we didn't even ordered and I can't say anything on this. You can choose on drinking wine, ouzo, beer or sodas. The order for 5 persons was: greek salad, tiganita, octopus, 3 choices of meze, feta saganaki, spinach pie, meatballs, I and we split 2 branzinos, 1 kakavia and 1 portion of lamp chops, I don't think that any of the dishes made in the real-time...the temperature of the food was good but I am sure they used microwave oven. The quality was terrible and the taste was even more worse, salmon raw, 1 branzino overcooked, 1 branzino very small, just kakavia was ok but still it is nothing unusual, special or exciting. The quantity on each dish was unpleasantly moderate. We drunk wine which was served chilled but taste was very bad, even known that it is Greek place you should add some good quality wines. Server was very helpful, brought few times to taste different wines but they all were even worse. The service was absolutely amazing, our server Katie was very helpful, professional and tried to make our night better. She made a dance in Greek style "opa" and the whole restaurant become alive and happy. If you ever decide to visit this place ask her to be your server. The price is not comparable to the food - too much money. In conclusion the whole experience was not good, I would never go again to this place for any reason and I don't recommend this restaurant, not even to my worst enemy. My whole experience usually is absolutely opposite, the service usually is bad but food is good, here unfortunately they have an amazing staff but very poor quality of food. read more

Excellent food and well served portions. Highly recommended. Definitely coming back! Meatballs and the lamb Burger were really good! read more

I really never write reviews, but dinner last night was wonderful in every way--the service, the food, the atmosphere--and a wine list that includes one of our favorite wines, Biblia Chora Ovilos White. We had the Branzino and Lamb Chops as our entrees, the village salad and octopus to start and the loukoumades (two rounds, yes, two rounds) to finish off the meal. Take it from a Greek, first-generation, who goes back to Greece often--they are the real deal. A superb meal. read more

The food here is amazing. The lamb chops, the roasted chicken, the fried cheese, the hummus, all so amazing! The only reason for four and not five stars is the very load and annoying music. read more
