Authentic Greek cuisine, outdoor seating, lively atmosphere



























"Moody lighting, mezze to linger over, and cocktails that match the vibe make this Greek gem a date-night favorite." - Jessica Chapel, Emily Adler
"With its huge food menu and impressive list of wine and cocktails, Elaia is the best Greek restaurant in the Hamptons. But besides all the great dips, spreads, and seafood, we like coming here just to hang out. With floor-to-ceiling windows and lots of candles and flowers, it’s a lovely space for a date night, or even a low-key dinner with the dozen people in your house. For tables of eight or more, the family-style Greek feast is a good option, starting at $85 per person." - melissa kravitz hoeffner

"A romance with Greek cuisine plays well on the beachy East End, and this intimate spot adds local flair to Hellenic favorites. Starters include chilled horiatiki yogurt soup studded with cucumbers and tomatoes; grilled octopus plated with fava beans; and roasted beets with pistachios, clementines, Greek yogurt, and balsamic vinaigrette. Larger plates run the gamut from grilled branzino to lamb shank." - Beth Landman

"The Hellenic favorite Elaia has become more energetic with a DJ and dancing on Saturday nights and the start of Sunday brunch; beyond staples like saganaki, moussaka and grilled octopus, I appreciated unique selections such as pork sausage flavored with orange peel and braised lamb and beef meatballs in a cumin-scented tomato sauce." - Beth Landman
