For being in a strip mall/large parking lot, this place was PRICEY! However, the quality of the…read morefood was definitely high. My husband and I came in around 6 pm on a Sunday evening for dinner (booked ahead of time) and the place was pretty empty. We were seated right away and our server was great, super friendly and helpful with what to order. There are a ton of specials off the menu which sounded amazing, so we both ordered two specials with Hake (~$46 each). Both were delicious, fresh and innovative takes on fish. I wish they had more of the specials listed because it was hard for us to keep them all straight. I started with the fondue for one which was tasty and fun but I would have preferred if it also came with cornichons and that the potatoes weren't fried (it was really heavy and oily with cheese and fried potatoes). Drinks were pretty weak for $26, and the bartender actually forgot to add champagne to one of our French 75s, lol. He did remedy it, though. We split the ice cream sandwich for dessert which was a little strange but tasty. All in all the food was very flavorful but at the price point I probably wouldn't come back. I guess you can get away with that in the Hamptons, even in the off season!

To start off with the service was superb. The ambience was really lovely, cozy, quiet and just lovely I started off with the escargot which were exquisitely delicious.

We asked the bartender if we could enjoy the Happy Hour at one of the tables, he said, No. Only at the bar. Something that was not spelled out on the menu nor the website. We sat at the bar. The menu listed the house gin at $5. I asked which Gin did they use as House Gin. The bartender said, I can give you Tanqueray but the price is not $5 like the menu says, it's $7. He said that menu was from Milford, not Westbrook. Weird...so I get a glass of wine, which did ring at $6 like the menu said. We ordered a few "tapas". Out of the four that we tried, the best one was the turnover (empanada), then the meatballs (tiny meatballs), then the fried calamari (which tasted and looked out of a frozen wholesale fried calamari bag) and last the pork medallion (not tasty at all). When the bill came, two of the tapas had the wrong price (higher than what the menu said)....I had to ask the bartender to rectify, which he did.....Poor people the ones that do not check their bills....they can easily be overcharged here....Big time..... Not recommended....not coming back.

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!

The chicken skewer was nicely presented but the chicken wasn't the best quality.

I came in for happy hour during the week and ordered a bunch of the appetizers that were on special. The focaccia bread with whipped ricotta and honey was outstanding. The bread tastes freshly made and was so fluffy. The baked clams were hearty and delicious, served on a bed of Himalayan sea salt which made the dish feel elevated. The pizza we ordered had an extremely thin crust that was perfectly crunchy and had just the right amount of sauce and cheese on it. Trivia was about to start after happy hour which I wish I had time to stick around for -- it looked like the teams that were forming were some stiff competition.
