The food and service was phenomenal. Deliciously prepared like homemade. Anyone should expect growing pains when a new restaurant opens, but with excellent service, we experienced none. Highly recommend starting with the trio appetizer. Their house ceviche was the best I’ve had. I didn’t realize I loved potatoes until I enjoyed their flavorful Peruvian style. House made pasta with steak was out of this world! I’ve already made reservations to go back. Value is unmatched here in Essex!

We have had great dining in our New England trip, but Ella's has been the best dinner in our trip. We had a wonderful foie gras torchon along with a fried mushroom that was amazing for starters. Our entrees, a 14oz pork chop and a Moroccan spiced lamb rack were phenomenal. My wife and I have had our fair share of lamb racks and pork chops over the years, and we both thought these were the best we tasted. For dessert we had a carrot cake and the flourless chocolate cake. My wife is a big fan of carrot cake, and she also thought this was the best she had. The chocolate cake was amazing too. Overall, I would highly recommend Ella's.

Absolutely recommend this restaurant. The food was delicious and the waiters were very accommodating and kind. If you’re having hesitations in trying it because fine dining is not your taste. Take it from a food truck lover like me you want to try this place. I don’t remember the last time I wanted to lick a plate clean. The food was incredibly fresh and locally sourced and the blend of spices and textures was amazing! 10/10 would recommend!
