After reading some of the negative reviews, I'm very surprised by some of the comments. Especially…read moreabout cleanliness - I went here over the weekend - the restaurant was very neat & clean. In fact, one of the reasons I decided to leave a very positive review is that I really enjoyed everything, except some of the appetizers- their empanadas were disappointing. The cocktails and calamari were really good! I think it's some of the best calamari I've had in a very long time. Ambience - Overall very open and airy. The bar can get a little crowded - it's easy to get stuck between the bar and the room partition located right behind it. There's a nice outdoor space and even though the restaurant is located along a busy road, once inside, it's completely relaxed & open. I like way they designed the main space. Both inside as well as the outdoor space. The outdoor lighting imparts an uplifting yet relaxing mood. Finally, even the bathrooms were well planned (they included a small sink within one of the bathroom stalls, although towels to dry your hands were gone by the time I made it there). The bathroom has nice relaxing lighting too, several stalls and plenty of space. That's an important feature - some of the local restaurants only have one bathroom or the stalls are very small and close together. Blu mar's are spacious & classy. The large open parking lot was another plus. Very convenient. The people who work here were friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my time here.

The lobster app was overcooked. The linguine vongole tasted like salt. The portion was also very small. The paccheri pesto rosso was even worse. The lobster was so overcooked it was inedible. The amount of salt was insane. It also had like 8 pieces of pasta. $44 for salt, rubbery lobster, 3 small shrimp, and a few pieces of pasta is wild. The ribeye was good, but the potatoes that came with it tasted weird. Not sure how you mess up mashed potatoes. The sea bass was ok, not great, not terrible. So everything ranged from ok to terrible. Can't in good conscience recommend this to anyone

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!

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. TL;DR - Don't let the fancy atmosphere put you off from trying this place, especially during happy hour!
