They can get a little busy, so be patient with the staff as their drinks are very popular and might take a little bit. The staff was really friendly, attentive, and gave us clear expectations for wait times the whole time. The ambience was awesome for the pop-up, the decorations were super cute, and the attention to detail was awesome. Me and my boyfriend were guessing how many hours it might've took for them to decorate the whole place. It was awesome and super decked out The drinks were really yummy, food came out fresh. This would be nice for a simple date night, as well as hang out with friends. There's also outdoor seating, so you could bring dogs or maybe have time with the family too as well, since it's a full restaurant

Their signature drinks are to die for this time I had a peachy king and lemon drop. I wanted to order the hoppy hour but it was so popular that they were sold out. I've come during the week and on the weekend. It doesn't matter which time I've come it's been GREAT! Today I came on a Sunday and they actually have a Sunday brunch where they have a live DJ they play music. They have shots going around it's fun and if you're going out with the family like I did today, you can sit in the upper area that's away from everyone else having the brunch fun. It was still fine even though we brought the kids and sat in the upper area. We could still hear the music and enjoy ourselves. I would highly recommend this place. It's a shame that I live so far away in Tracy that I only get to come once in a while because if I lived closer, I would come every weekend.!!! The desserts are so good!!!

They had a lot of great drink options, and we tried quite a few. I can't remember all the names, but in the pictures I posted, the yellow drink was the sweetest and didn't really taste like alcohol, so that was our favorite. The espresso martini was great, and the lavender drink I got was really good too. Overall, though, we would all probably pick the yellow drink over the others. The food itself was incredible. I got the corn ravioli pasta, which was sweeter than I expected, but I should have guessed that from the ingredients. It was still delicious. The jambalaya was by far the best dish at the table, though. Absolutely incredible. The Chinese noodles also had an amazing presentation. I've never seen something like that before, and they tasted amazing too. The staff was really nice, and overall, this is a great place to stop by if you're downtown Pleasanton and want a nice dinner!

Very clean, very comfortable seats. Our waiter was a gentleman who wore glasses, never shared his name, not very attentive, and just did the bare requirements of a server. For this type of establishment, I would've thought it would be a little more upscale and attentive service, but he did his job. Blackened salmon was divine. Every bite tasted like the first bite and was heaven. Such excellent seasoning and cooked to perfection. So were the potatoes. For dessert, we had the cookie butter sundae, which featured Biscoff cookies, ice cream, and a caramel sauce. It was tasty. I'll definitely be back, thank you!

We really enjoy Main St. in Pleasanton and hadn't tried Elia yet so we decided to make a reservation and come here on a Monday evening. This restaurant is gorgeous! It's very charming yet fancy at the same time. When we arrived, we were seated immediately. To be fair, it was a slow Monday and there was plenty of seating. We opted to sit outside due to the nice weather. They brought us waters and bread to get started which I appreciated. For drinks, my wife went with the Cab and I chose an old fashioned. Both came out promptly. For appetizer's, keep in mind they're not very large portions and can take a bit to come out. I suggest 1 appetizer will be enough for two people. Order more than you think you need if you're hungry or it's a larger party. Since it was later in the day, we both chose salads for our entrees. They were delicious! You can tell the ingredients are fresh and of high quality. Our server and service was great- we were checked up on just enough but not too much. Our server was soft spoken, friendly and efficient. I always enjoy working with a server who is professional, courteous and not overly invasive. Not only do I plan on coming back, I'm going to be telling all my friends and family about Elia. Will definitely be doing a birthday or two here in the near future.

They have someone out side to let you in and once you're in you have a dedicated server. The service is good, especially with them being so busy. The inside is beautifully decorated. It is a bit loud for a speakeasy tbh but it was still enjoyable. Drinks are themed and decorated nicely. They aren't just good looking, they taste just as good! Definitely worth a visit! Note that the location is a bit hidden it's in between Locanda and the Holiday shop.

Since it was our first time, we decided to go with the full menu. It's definitely one of those places where you should be open to tweaks to the usual steak and potatoes. Our waiter was absolutely lovely and suggested drinks to get started with based off our palette preferences. We ordered the cauliflower and goat cheese toast as an appetizer. While both delicious, the goat cheese toast was really small. As for my main entree I ordered the iron steak and potatoes (I can't remember the full name). It was buttery, flavorful, juicy and cooked to medium perfection. Lastly, we finished with the vanilla and sweet corn sundae which was amazing! It had rich vanilla bean icecream, sweet corn bread chunks which added sweet crunch. My BF and I can't wait to come back.

My only caveat is if you have tried German food and didn't like it, then don't bother. If you have never tried it, give this place a try. And if you love German food you probably have already been here, and if not, come try it out. They also have an excellent selection of southern German and Austrian beers! Score!

Like I'm sure they'll do something for the Halloween months and I'm sure it'll get all Christmas-y during December. In the summer months when I went, it was kind of an underground island-pirate themed. "Lost Pigeon Island." Now the decor isn't high production or anything , think school dance level production. There was a turquoise aquatic color scheme in a darkish space, a cotton-y material by the door that towered toward the ceiling to give the impression of a 3D cloud. And the feature I was most a fan of was they had these huge 'painted' portraits of a heroic pigeon in the theme for the season. So a pigeon with a shark in one frame, another pigeon in pirates garb in another. And these frames were above the main booths so everyone can just soak up the fun. Place gets busy and they do take reservations. Rezzies might even be mandatory on Friday/Sat nights I'm sure. We strolled in on a lazy Sunday afternoon no prob, but the place was like 85% filled. There was only 1 bartender that time of the day. And these labor intensive cocktails take a while to make. Multiple bottles to grab, different mixers for each drink, different glassware, garnishing fruits or spice and dabs of assorted bitters. Cool tender told us he'll be with us as soon as he can. We said no prob. Probably took a little over 5 minutes for him to open up. But it was entertaining enough watching all these elaborate drinks get made right front of me. Toasted Trader ($18/4*) Bourbon , Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Italian Holiday Tea, citrus and bitters. Not sure if this was made to specs but there may have been a slight alteration. Not that I'd really know but I thought I heard the bartender mention something. But the drink was served up, with a garnish of star anise inside the glass and a cinnamon stick that he lit to smolder. The drink was so smooth and interesting, a touch sweet and sour with a creamy texture even though it was clear-ish. Menu says 'clarified milk punch' but I have no clue on what that entails. I just know it was pretty tasty but think they left out the Cinnamon Toast Crunch part out. Which wasn't a deal breaker. Afterglow ($18/4*) Cilantro infused vodka, cachaca, citrus, ginger, tiki bitters and mango liqueur. Another very interesting concoction this time garnished with popping boba which silhouettes in the warm yellowish cool liquid. We each only had 1 as fun as the drinks are and as kitsch the vibes were, we are just kinda simple and straight forward drinkers. A Ketel n soda and/or a double Jami on the rocks with a beer back. And this block has several choices for such simplicity and lack of theatrics. I'd still come back if I was with the right people and occasion. It is pricey but with the right peeps can be a fun and whimsical out.

I've tried a range of dishes -- the rack of lamb, lamb shank, chicken kabob, fresh bread with dipping sauce, and the unforgettable beef cigars. The beef cigars are a standout and something I now consider essential every visit. Although I don't typically order lamb, the rack of lamb on my first visit was exceptional. I returned with my husband and ordered the lamb shank, which was equally delicious. Even my husband, who is a very selective eater, enjoyed everything we tried. The restaurant is lively during dinner but surprisingly quiet at lunch, which makes me think more people need to discover how great the food is. The menu is well‑priced, and while the drinks lean toward the higher end, they're crafted well and worth it. Service has always been attentive, and the atmosphere is uniquely adaptable -- it feels like everyone settles into their own vibe and enjoys the space in their own way. Oasis is absolutely a place worth returning to.
