ELIA
greek tavern

A taste of the Mediterranean

The Elia Experience

Where the Mediterranean meets Dallas.

In the heart of Bishop Arts, Elia gathers the flavors of the Greek coast — whole grilled fish, bright mezze, herb-scented grills — and pours them alongside wine, cocktails, and long conversations.

It is dinner the way the tavernas intend it: unhurried, generous, and shared. Come for the branzino. Stay for the golden hour.

Golden Hour

Wine, cocktails, conversation.

The light turns amber, the bar fills, and the first glass of Assyrtiko appears. Settle in — the evening is just starting.

Dinner

Seafood, mezze, candlelight.

Whole fish off the grill, tables crowded with mezze, candlelight on limestone. Order generously and pass everything around.

Evenings · until late

After Dark

Music, cocktails, energy.

The room hums well past midnight. A last martini, another round of mezze, and the kind of night Dallas keeps quiet about.

Open until 2am, every night
