The drinks and food were amazing! The arancini with the melted parmesan from the garlic bread is a great combo and the fusilli pesto and radiatori vodka was great! We also got the dark chocolate budino and it was fantastic. Stef, our server, was great and so friendly. Will definitely come back another time!!

Enjoyed the Peloached Pear. Australian Wagyu was delicious and totally worth the price difference from the filet (which my daughter got so we could compare). Brussel sprouts were phenomenal. Chocolate cake isn't too sweet / rich; a good balance. Definitely want to come back to try more items. Cocktails looked great. Music was nice, and the service was great as well.

We loved our first experience at Ella's and can't wait to return. The food and cocktails were delicious, beautifully presented, and robust portions. Our server, Chris, was knowledgeable about the menu and genuinely seemed so happy to be there. We appreciated that the GM came to check in on us when we got our first few bites. Such a great discovery!
