"Much like a video of a raccoon eating grapes or a large supply of unpopped bubble wrap, the lamb chops at Eléa will never fail to please us. They come with a big pile of fries on the side, and they’re one of our favorite things to eat on the UWS. The crudo and hummus are also great, and, as an added bonus, the space is big enough to fit you and every single one of your acquaintances. There’s an attractive upstairs with white walls and a U-shaped bar where you can grab some food by yourself, and there’s also a big downstairs area that’s perfect for group dinners." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Neha Talreja, Carina Finn Koeppicus
