We were thankful they had industrial sized fans to help keep everyone cool. We started with the Empanada Trio - DELICIOUS! The cheese one wasn't our favorite but when paired with the other two, it all worked. For drinks we had the Peach Old Fashioned and The Pineapple Forever Young. Both were good and strong. I really loved the Campanella Monterey Mushroom. I added chicken breast for protein. The serving is so big! I took half of it home and ate the rest with with baked salmon. My husband couldn't say enough about the Surf and Turf. He said the flavors were amazing. The steak was tender and delicious and all the vegetables were cooked perfectly. My husband wants to come back with his friends to try the Parrillada Argentina BBQ (for 3 people) Misc: We only say one gender neutral bathroom with a changing table. There are no toilet seat covers. It was roomy and clean.

De La Torre is one of those places you would probably drive past without realizing what you are…read moremissing. It is tucked into an unassuming shopping center, but absolutely worth seeking out. Once inside, it feels less like a restaurant and more like you have been invited over to a friend's dining room. It is warm, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming. The service hits that perfect balance. It is friendly, attentive, and never overbearing. You feel taken care of without it being a production. The food really delivers. The special, chicken thighs stuffed with smoked ham, was standout and memorable. The margarita pizza is exactly what you want it to be. It is simple, well executed, and perfect for sharing. Do not let the "small" size fool you. It is easily enough for two, maybe even three if you are catching up over drinks. Portions across the board are generous. The fish entrees are especially impressive. The salmon alone felt like it had to be close to half a pound. All of this comes at prices that feel more than fair for the quality and quantity you are getting. This is definitely a spot worth returning to. I am already looking forward to coming back to try the paninis for lunch.

We ended up at De La Torre's last week after our original birthday dinner plans fell through…read morebecause another downtown restaurant lost power. The experience started off poorly. We arrived around 7:45 PM, with closing at 8:30 PM. The server outside did not seem happy to see us, and once inside there was no greeting or anyone to seat us. I had to go back and ask for a table. Throughout the evening, the owner or hostess also made us feel like our late arrival was an inconvenience. The one bright spot was our server. He was welcoming, never rushed us, and even surprised our daughter with a complimentary birthday dessert after learning we were celebrating. That thoughtful gesture was the highlight of the evening. The food was just average. The capellini was especially disappointing, as it was bland and lacked flavor. Overall, nothing we ordered really stood out. Between the average food and the unwelcoming atmosphere, this is not a place we would return to, despite the excellent service from our server

Then we ordered the Brussels sprouts, blackened chicken rigatoni, chicken parmesan pasta, and bread pudding. We also ordered the lemon drop cocktail. Everything was delicious.

Utilized their catering service for our wedding…read more They showed up two hours late without enough staff. Charged us for items that the wedding Venue had to end up providing.. received complaints that there was not enough food even though we paid for extra guests, and folks didn't show up on our list so we should've never been close to running out of food. They never restocked the hors d'oeuvres. There was items missing from our initial order. The real sting is, the owner and the person who made the deal with us never returned our call to hear our complaints or even say sorry that we were late and didn't meet the terms of the contract... so now we are forced to go via our credit card companies and maybe small claims court... not sure if any one reading this wants to deal with that on your special day, so keep that in mind before you use them as a caterer..

We did a full inside restaurant buyout and had the option to select several appetizers, two salads and four entrees from the menu. Of all the places I researched, this was the only one that was willing to do a full sit down meal (as opposed to a buffet). The restaurant is very pretty (and photogenic) and there was plenty of space for our guests to mingle before the food service began. The food was outstanding as were the desserts. We couldn't have been more pleased with how our party turned out. I highly recommend Elia if you are looking for an excellent meal or party venue.

Love how open the restaurant is with windows and natural lighting. The food was alright and pretty expensive. We individually ordered, but shared like family style including appetizers. We tried the Saganaki $17.00+ Skillet-fried flaming kefalothiri cheese, brandy, lemon? It was okay. To me, it just tasted like cheese topping from a slice of pizza. It was cool to see it being lit on fire though. I did like the fried calamari, that was delicious especially with the sauce. I ordered the mushroom and spinach omelette $19. It came with potatoes and fruit like watermelon. It was decent, I mean it's an omelette so what can I say, lol. The serving size was perfect to share. Our server was good. The woman who helped us clean our plates and refilled our water was very attentive as well. The bathrooms were clean, two stalls. Parking is available in the back or on the street.

The cocktails were delicious, and our dedicated server was a delight. Customer service was top notch. I ordered the prawn chittara to go and it was 100/10...I hope they never take it off their menu.
