    My wife is gluten sensitive and this is a go to restaurant for us. They have a great gluten free menu. We had a wonderful dinner with excellent service. Only issue was a regular roll came out on her soup and we challenged it. It was not gluten free so I enjoyed. Could be a problem if someone was celiac. She had the Alaska butterfly fish which was a nice portion and I had the lamb loin. Both dishes were quite good. We shared a hot beet salad as well which was very tasty. The soups we started with were very good, butternut squash soup for her and lobster bisque for me

    The food was exceptional as always. The chef consistently adds a twist to even the old favorites. Try the friend brussel sprouts, they added sweet caramelized onions and they are perfect! Always great service and the cocktails are exquisite. Another favorite, bavette steak - tender and juicy.

    We stopped by Ella's bar for appetizers and drinks at the bar while waiting for a friend. Claire W, working the bar, immediately made us feel at home. Cocktails, wine, and a couple of small plates, and everything was perfect. Super yummy, nicely presented, perfect portions. Claire answered all our questions, gave us good insight into what to expect from the small plates, and her wine recommendations were spot-on. Claire also has the perfect personality for the hospitality industry. Warm, open, patient, knowledgeable, and fun. We loved her!!! Next time we fly in to Sacramento, we're definitely heading to Ella's. You should too!!!
