    Eleni's hit the spot for lunch! The Greek salad was cold and so fresh! The pizza was delicious. Our group wished we had an extra stomach for more pizza! Located in an industrial part of town but don't let that deter you from visiting Eleni's.

    Perhaps their pizza will earn the 5th star So far, I have tried: *Greek salad *Gyro *Fettuccine Alfredo All 3 dishes were pretty standard, not super flavorful, good proportions. It's a decent lunch spot but not somewhere I would go out of my way for. (Honey Tree Cafe's gyro is hard to top). Will have to try the pizza! Eleni's does offer online ordering, delivery, and a rewards program.

    Shrimp Scampi pizza!

    Loved our pizzas! The staff is so nice! Definitely coming back! Very short wait and had a nice glass of wine while I waited.

    Chicken Soup

    My friends and I recently visited Eleni's Pizza Works and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with my dining experience. We ordered large Hawaiian Pizza, large Marguerite Pizza, Chicken Soup, the Greek Gyro platter with a Caesar salad on the side, Spaghetti With Meatballs. For desert we have ordered: Limoncello Mascarpone, Chocolate Mousse Cake (my favorite) and New York style Cheesecake. All food was fantastic! The meat in gyro was juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the pita bread was fresh and warm. The Hawaiian pizza is the best I've had anywhere (you know they add cherries to it, it tastes so good!). The Marguerite pizza is my second favorite, the crust is crispy and thin Aside from the food, I also really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. Our server Diana was friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in, she handled our table of 3 adults and 4 children with a perfect display of relaxed competence. Well done! I have not expect to see something so delicious come from a small place on the outskirts of the city like this. But every dish I have had here has been fabulous. This place is very underrated. I will be back again and again!

    We were a large party that preordered a specific menu. The staff was very friendly and worked hard to provide excellent service but the kitchen failed miserably. We started with salads and bread. The salad was good but the rolls were as hard as hockey pucks. Next came the fried mushrooms. They were the only item that came out of the kitchen hot... everything else was lukewarm at best. The pizzas were room temperature, bland and disappointing, I had hopes for the pasta but besides a very tasty meatball it was really bad. One was served with what looked like a broken sauce because the noodles sat in a large puddle of oil and both had the appearance and taste of being prepared long before it was served. Dessert followed the same pattern. The tiramisu looked ok but was served frozen.

    Pepperoni pizza

    We order a pepperoni and meaty meat pizza. To be completely transparent when it comes to pizza I am thin crust all the way. Eleni crust is definitely a thumb up for me. The sauce, cheese and topping we're all above par. Over all there pizza was above average and much better then the fast food chain pizza. The only downside is that it's a bit on the pricey side. However if I am ever in the Bradenton area I would order pizza from Eleni pizza works again.

    The works.

    Before I share my review, I want to start off by saying that this is my family's and my opinion…read moreonly. I'll start with the positives. The food was good. We all basically got various versions of chicken souvlaki. I got the horiatiki salad with souvlaki chicken. It was very flavorful and I loved all the veggies and olives plus delicious feta. My SIL and husband had the two versions of the souvlaki platter which they enjoyed. The chicken was very tender. My SIL didn't really care for the fries. My husband didn't like the vegetables being on top of the Greek potatoes that weren't very good. The primary issue was the woman who waited on us. We were seated a few minutes after we arrived. Unfortunately, we were not given menus which was frustrating and instead of the woman owning it herself, she blamed it on the new guy. We ordered and it took a while to get our food and the restaurant wasn't that busy. The woman kept complaining about various things and I assume most people could hear. Not really the vibe you want when trying to enjoy a meal with family you don't get to see very often. It also took a while to get the check and to go boxes. Everyone has a bad day and the holidays are stressful times. I hope it was just a one off.

It's clean and cozy atmosphere. My friend and I were there a little before the lunch crowd so we had the place to ourselves. The server was cheerful and prompt. We ordered the chicken lemon rice soup, hummus and pita appetizer, chicken tawook, and I have the salmon in olive oil and lemon. The presentation was good but all the dishes were slightly on the bland side. I enjoyed the food and I like supporting mom and pop restaurants. I wish it was more flavorful but I'm glad I gave this restaurant a try. Perhaps I came on an off day but I hope the locals continue to keep this place going. There's limited parking in this small strip shopping area.

    A nice, tucked away Greek restaurant…read more My wife and I dined (for the first time) at Stella's this past Sunday evening, Aug. 16. Our reservation was for 6:30pm. When we walked in, we immediately noticed it was unusually warm it was. We were seated in a corner and given menus by the manager. I inquired if their AC was out. He told me it was not, and that the unuausal heat was due to the temporary removal of their awning over the door, which was letting miore light (and heat in ) than normal, and that it would start getting cooler very soon. I had my doubts about this claim, as the sun was aready fairly low on the horizon, but we decided to stick it out. However, as time ticked by, and the kitchen became more and more active, the hotter it became. Eventually, the heat became so uncomfortable (I wold guess abut 80 degrees), that we decided to pack up our meals and leave. Outside it was refreshingly cooler. But onto the food and service. We ordered the dolmades as an appetizer. They were small, bland, and were otherwise nothing to write home about. We also decided to split the Greek Salad. It was excellent! My wife ordered the chicken. She said it was very tasty. I ordered the lamb chops. However, when our food arrived, I was served some pork skewers. instead. When I brought this to the waiter's attention, he apologized, and departed with the pork skewers. It appears that the waiter simply screwed up the order, because when it eventually did arrive (15-20 miutes later), my wife had already eaten most of her food. I wolfed down 3 of the lamb chops (which were quite good), had the remainder of our food packed up (because of the heat), and departed. Food-wise, it was an oveall solid B. Service was a C-. Most notable about the occasion, however, was the horrible heat. We were seated in a corner, which was the fartherst away from any of the fans and AC vents. However, that (in my opinion) doesn't come close to explaining the magnitude of the problem. Three possibilities exist in my book: (1) the manager was lying about the AC being operational; (2) the manager/owner had increased the thermostat to reduce his electrical expenses; and/or (3) the AC compressor was out and/or the coolant was gone. In order to truly enjoy any meal, the temperature must be a comfortable one. Our experience was the antithesis of comfortable, and so while the food was generally good, it was not so outstanding as to merit our returning again and risking the possibility of yet another insufferably "hot" experience. Time to cool my jets.

A quick Google search did not disappoint. I happened to be right across from a beautiful shopping center and spotted this stunning Greek restaurant. Mediterranean cuisine is my absolute favorite, so I was immediately excited. The only catch? I was cutting it close. They close at 9:00 PM on Thursdays, and I was just seven minutes away with about 30 minutes to spare. I decided to take my chances -- and I'm so glad I did. I sat at the bar and was warmly greeted by a very kind and welcoming bartender. I ordered two glasses of Pinot Grigio and an incredible platter with hummus, chicken skewers, olives, and sliced meats. The platter looked intimidating in the photo, but it's absolutely manageable for one person -- just be warned, the pita bread will fill you up quickly! Even though I felt a little guilty arriving close to closing and staying a bit past 9 to finish, the staff never made me feel rushed. If I hadn't felt bad about the timing, I absolutely would have ordered dessert -- and probably an espresso martini to top it off. Now I know for next time I'm back on the West Coast. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed with a classy, upscale feel -- even though I showed up looking like I had just survived a road trip (because I had). There's only so much glamour you can maintain after three hours in the car. I highly recommend coming here for dinner and then walking around the shopping area afterward. It's exactly my kind of shopping destination -- you truly have everything you could think of in one place. I just wish we had something like this closer to home.
