Ella's Fine Food and Drinkdelectable diningOur first dining experience was delicious and unbelievable. We had a fabulous waiter that was super attentive.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMOur first timewe were in the capable hands from the time we stepped in the door to the friendly goodbye; service and food were the best in the area...and draw a large circle to include that area.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious!Food, Service and Ambiance were all perfect. A little pricy but you get quality in return.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMBest of the BestPerect food, wine and service, it dosent get any better than Ellas!5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMLovely BirthdayWe finally made it to Ella's, after hearing so much about it from friends and clients. Ella's most definitely lived up to its very fine reputation. From the moment we entered, until we waved goodby to the owners in the parking lot as we were leaving, we felt very welcomed and comfortable. Everyone was friendly, personable and knowledgable. Our server, Courtney, was most attentive.
The menu was amazing, with so many extraordinary choices. More often than not, farm to table fresh menus can be rather limited, but happily, this was not the case at Ella's. The wine list has a perfect mix for many tastes. We are looking forward to the next time we can dine there.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMWILL go back!We live 30 min away- well worth the drive- every morsel was delicious, although $$$ (about $100 per couple, w/tip).
Pork Belly Tacos were outstanding.
Yellowfin tuna cooked perfectly (barely).
Wine list was disappointing.
Jim, our waiter, seemed to hover a bit, maybe because there were so few diners on a Wednesday night.
We will be going back, for sure.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMWaiter was excellent. FoodWaiter was excellent.
Food was unique and very high quality especially when compared to the surrounding area establishments. We will make Ella's a regular part of our dining experience.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMA New England GemSaturday was our zillionth dinner wth friends at this justly-celebrated restaurant when, once again, we were not disappointed. My pork chop special was perfectly carmelized and moist; the kale salad--which three of us ordered--was delicious to chew; and the Icelandic cod--which I tasted--was even better than the cod we ate in Iceland three weeks ago. The wait-staff were informed and gracious, a tribute to James and Chef Jeanie's high standards.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMGood place!The foods always amazing. The server could have been a little bit more attentive.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMBest gourment restaraunt inBest gourment restaraunt in our area, love the menu and the service. This is our special place to go to celebrate. Only thing needed is "tablecloths", thought they use to have them.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food is up to to highThe food is up to to high end NYC standards, but the waitstaff is from RI (though trying hard to improve).4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was our first time atThis was our first time at Ella's, after we'd heard rave reviews. My husband and I shared the tuna taco appetizer, which was very good. I had the filet special with white asparagus and side of lobster mac and cheese, which was excellent. My husband had the halibut with mashed and baby turnips, which was also very good. We shared the chocolate trio. Food and wine were excellent and very happy with our service too. Thank you!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMMy wife and I went to brunchMy wife and I went to brunch on Easter. Ella's was a real hit! Food was excellent, the ambiance quiet and peaceful.

We'll be back!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was our first visit. WeIt was our first visit. We had an amazing meal. We will be back!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had read reviews of Ella'sWe had read reviews of Ella's before we made reservations so our expectations were high. And they were for the most part absolutely met. The appetizers were so appealing that we almost made our entire meal from the selections, but then we would have missed trying everything else The appetizers were particularly well done--calamari, which we always order when on the menu in more gourmet RI restaurants, were perfectly done. Crispy, with a hot and sweet sauce that did not drown the calamari...well, we would go back just for that. The tuna tacos also melded a set of flavors into a delicious whole. Ordering them with the calamari gave us an experience of hot and cold, crispy and soft, sweet, spicy, and salty. Worth the hour drive from Providence3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMWent for birthday occasion.Went for birthday occasion. Everything was perfect. Tuna steak was fantastic.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMWell worth the tripIt was our first time and Ella's and it was excellent. The server was efficient and knowledgeable about the menu. We went with friends we don't see often and wanted to spend time catching up. We never felt hurried but courses were delivered in a timely fashion and I never felt that I had to look up and wonder when something was coming. Three of us had the scallop special with 3 large scallops topped with crab and then caramelized and we all thought it excellent. The fourth had duck and it received a similar rating. We left talking about when we could get back for another dinner. It is definitely worthy of a second visit.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMBest meal I've had in years.Best meal I've had in years.
