I asked for my prime rib ($30 meal) medium rare....it was medium well done. Very tough, chewy, and a lot of gristle/fat. As you can see from what was left on the plate (inedible).

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!

So we stopped for an early diner. Ambiance was nice, servers were as well, got the food served- I had their "special "burger- forgot what they call it , and my wife some chicken soulvaki. Her chicken was a bit dry, but not a big deal. My beef patty was a bit unusual, in a sense that if tasted more like some sort of a meatball rather than a burger patty, but again, not such a big deal. Would I get it again? Probably not, was different and not necessarily the best choice to put it in a bun and call it a burger. The fries were nice and crispy, and the coleslaw unfortunately had no taste. We finished the dinner, got home and about half an hour later my stomach started to rumble. Became very bloated and will spare you guys the details, but it was a horrible night, with chills, the runs, etc. That was actually the reason that compelled me to write a review for this place, otherwise I would have put it into the average and somewhat a bit pricy type of places. But they added the little extra on top. Hope I'm just an isolated case.

The food may have been fine, but the customer service completely ruined the experience…read more I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Alfredo, which is clearly listed under the "Entrees" section of the menu. At the top of that section it states: "Entrees served with your choice of baked potato or french fries." Nothing on the menu says pasta dishes are excluded. When I politely asked about the side, instead of simply clarifying the policy, I was spoken to rudely and told that "out of 50,000 people" I was apparently the only person who didn't know how to read the menu. That's not how customers should be treated for asking a reasonable question based on how the menu is written. If pasta dishes are excluded from the side option, then the menu should clearly state that instead of insulting customers for interpreting it exactly how it's written.
