“ LOVE THIS PLACE! Great happy hour, amazing food, and such a fun vibe that still manages to feel intimate and cozy. The staff is fantastic and super attentive. Our young brunette server went above and beyond, offering excellent recommendations—definitely request her if you can. I recommend sharing dishes with your group to sample a little of everything. The food is truly exceptional I’ve visited Greece a handful of times and I can vouch for the authenticity of every dish. The crafted cocktails are perfectly balanced, and the wine selection is extensive. Elaia Estiatorio is great, Can’t wait to go back! ”

“ Great spot with friendly bartenders and delicious Mediterranean food! Take advantage of their awesome Happy Hour menu! ”
“ Everything about stepping into Elaia is a joy. From the welcoming manager, Mike who is as gracious and kind as an old friend. To Langdon and his delicious, infamous cocktail creations. But, the true star of the show and why I am writing today is to highlight their chef, the gastronomist genius who is, Tommy. As a former food blogger in the city who resides now mainly out East I have to say one thing I find lacking out here in our beautiful hamlet are our restaurants. You can fight me on it, go ahead. Many restaurants I frequent will be ok the first time and disastrous the second. But Elaia is consistently fresh, delectable and inventive new dishes coming weekly courtesy of the brilliance of chef Tommy. I always go for happy hour where the salad is so light and refreshing it feels like you are biting into spring. Oysters that are consistently fresh, shucked with no shell ever and a refreshing new take on mignonette with just a hint of jalapeno that somehow never deter from the delicacy of the shellfish. Saganaki that doesn’t even feel like it was fried, so light and fluffy yet melts into my mouth often bringing me to fromage heaven even though I’ve had it a million times before. Tommy is also always so attentive with us, going the extra mile each time we are there, “making us feel special as one of his regulars.” No matter how bad the day we always leave Elaia happy. Between Mike’s warmth, Langdon’s cocktails to wash it all down and Tommy’s triumphs as resident gastronome, this is the only restaurant in the Hamptons I can tell you whole-heartedly should not be missed. (Will add more photos of food later, think I'm too busy inhaling to take pictures;). ”
“ Delicious food, cute spot, and great staff ”
