Most elves, like the Noldor elves, and elves of Rivendell had pretty strong relationships with dwarves, not sexually, but friendship wise. We can see Gloin eating at Elrond's supper, Gloin had grown in great respect and had no problem with the elves from Rivendell. Noldor and Dwarves were both from Aule, so they sort of had a thing in common and they also, tended to be nicer to dwarve, as we get to see with Galadriel. The only really elves that had a problem with dwarves were the Silvan or Sindarin (Teleri elves). We get to see Thranduil's hate towards the dwarves in The Hobbit, we see the whole bit with Haldir, a Silvan elves, with Gimli, and I'm sure Celeborn had some resistance towards Gimli.

The friendship between Gimli and Legolas was indeed a strange one, I believe it said not one was seen between elves and dwarves, which is true, but Noldor and Elves of Rivendell had no hate towards dwarves.
