    I had a reservation at 845pm, plenty of open tables, but we didn't get seated for 45 minutes after our reservation time. Even that wouldn't have happened had i not gotten up and stood in the middle of the restaurant in obvious frustration. Won't be back.

    Ella is our favorite restaurant. Their food is always wonderful, and I love the atmosphere. Our server (I believe he said William) was wonderful, kind and attentive. Normally our experience is 5 stars across the board, but the hostess put a damper on our night by being rude. We will definitely be back and expect that it will be enjoyable, as we’ve been there at least a dozen times and have never had that experience before.

    The staff was just awesome! Our host made great, got to know us a little before and made great recommendations. It made the experience a lot better. They also read my notes of my special event and took that into consideration when planning our experience. All the food we had was just excellent! Our Menu for the night was STARTER -Wood Fired Bone Marrow- you do have to have a specific taste for this before you order, i was familiar with it, if you are not, I don't suggest you get it the texture is not for everyone. ENTREES -Crispy Fried Half Chicken- Super delicious! Sauce is like a buffalo sauce has a great kick to it, -Duck Confit- I was iffy getting this, but this is definitely underrated! Very good! DRINKS -Elderflower Gimlet- I don't drink, and I ordered 2! Refreshing! -Scoundrel (Red blend) This was also very good very smooth. DESSERTS -Apple Cobbler-classic take on the cobbler! excellent taste! -Sticky Toffee Pudding- this was an interesting one, haven't seen this before. was excellent! Both Desserts were the toppers of the night! they were great way to end our courses can not go wrong with either one! Food was really good overall everyone around us seemed to enjoy their meals, you hear nothing but joy and laughter through out. FYI The menu changes seasonally, get it while you can. =]

    Wonderful dining experience. The chef made a delicious vegan dish upon request. Others at the table loved the pork chops, whipped potatoes and toffee pudding. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Roxanne is a wonderful server and very informative in describing the flavor profiles of various dishes. Every dish was full of flavor and perfectly prepared! We were impressed by Roxanne’s service knowledge and kindness. She and the wait staff are a great representative of Ella’s! Bon appétit
