"Eléa is a big, attractive Greek restaurant, and it's one of the best options for a somewhat upscale group meal on the UWS. There’s a bar area upstairs and a large dining room in the basement, and the whole space leans into the coastal-Greek theme. Your options range from salads and vegetarian mousaka to lamb chops and a whole grilled fish, and you should always start with a few of the dips. We especially like the hummus. If you need a big table in just a few hours, there’s a good chance you’ll find one available here." - team infatuation
