Always love coming here. The restaurant is beautiful, the service exceptional and the food outstanding. I like that they don’t rush you to turn the table and check in throughout the meal. We had cocktails, dinner & dessert! I highly recommend the tiramisu. Delicious!!!!

We had a 7pm meeting so made a 5:30 reservation and had plenty of time…. Equated to attentive waitress, reasonable kitchen time. We sat on the deck and it was nice being able to look over the river through the plastic protector sheets. It will be nicer when they can go away. My wife had the sword fish at the recommendation of our waitress and it was very good. I had the bourbon beef meal and was very satisfied. We had a glass of wine a a couple of beers… bill was reasonable so all in all a great dinner.

We went early to avoid the crowd and it worked. Service was great - timely, efficient, personable. Too bad about having to pay extra for bread but there was probably too much waste before.

This was our 1st visit to Ella's, but not our last. The noise level was a little high due to a table of 6 next to us. However, that was easy to overlook. The food was excellent. The wine list (a book) was extensive and pricy, but great wines. The service was outstanding. Kayla, our server, was awesome. No rush with dinner. We spent almost 3 hours enjoying our meal. It was an expensive evening, but well worth it for a special occasion.

I love going here for Thanksgiving. The server with blond hair was excellent. I only wish there was a more traditional meal for Thanksgiving. The mushroom ravioli was quite good. I regret not ordering a salad with it. We will be back during the year!
