Eliás Estiatorio will replace the former Yia Yia Mary's space along San Felipe Street and is expected to revive the location into a contemporary Greek dining destination, according to a news release.
The restaurant will offer guests dishes that highlight seafood, seasonal ingredients and health-conscious fare in what is described as a "sun-washed Mediterranean setting."
“When you go to the Mediterranean, people take time to enjoy life, food and each other," Founder Alberto Lombardi said. "That was the inspiration for Eliás Estiatorio—to create a beautiful, energetic place where guests can relax, celebrate and share a memorable meal together.”

The interior of the restaurant was designed and built by NDD Design-Build, an architecture firm in Houston, and draws inspiration from the coastal villages of Greece. The space is expected to feature Mediterranean wood tones, soft curves, textured finishes and large archways.
Eliás Estiatorio is scheduled to open sometime this winter.
