    Started off with a kind of rude reception, but ended with incredible waiter, service and food. Ella's is still my favorite. Thank you for making our anniversary special!

    It was clear they were understaffed. We waited 15 min. For the server to show up and take our drink order. 2 hours and 10 minutes before our main course was served. They did comp us the main course after we complained about timing. Wine and cocktails wereawesome!
