Each steak is aged for a minimum of 28 days for a perfectly tender, juicy bite every time.It is our goal to give you a great meal every time you join us for lunch or dinner.

We had a anniversary dinner date here. They received us both well with smiles and attention. They had a not wishing us a happy anniversary and rose petals around the center light. Our food was delicious! They were nice enough to give us dessert on the house. Always a lovely experience here.

We had a wonderful experience at La Stella. The cocktails and food were great and our server, Amanda, was perfect. Also the live music was very nice by Melanie Skybell. All the restaurant staff was friendly and welcoming. Favorite Italian place in Dallas. :-)

We've been to Ellie's a few times over the years, but this visit was really lovely. The holiday decor is fabulous as ever, and the Jazz trio playing was really special. The service was great today, too. The menu seems to have been given a refresh since we've last visited, and we enjoyed our brunch options.
