    Good food. A little too noisy to be relaxing

    We had a wonderful brunch prior to a Met Opera. Short walking distance and scrumptious food!

    I frequent Ella a lot as it my neighborhood place. However yesterday for Sunday brunch our waitress sort of rushed us out cause another group was waiting! And I make rez all the time so why can’t I have a nice dining experience and not be rushed. I felt that was not the best customer service.

    Such a cute restaurant but the service we got left little to be desired. The waiter got our order incorrect. We weren't upset by the error and were very polite about the mistake when the food arrived. Despite this, the waiter spent the remainder of our meal glaring at our table and just rudely put the check down at the second the food our plates where removed from the table, never asking us if we wanted anything else. So despite excellent food, it the service was so disappointing and very big turn off.

    We were staying on upper west side an d this restaurant matched our preferences so well. drank tequila and bourbon, nice choices. Tapas plates of, octopus, skewered steak, empanadas, mushroom croquettes,roasted brussel sprouts, and kofka sliders, all were so delicious and finely prepared. Each dish tasted homemade and all to perfection, can't wait to return. Loved this little find.

    This was our first time at Ella and we went before a concert at Lincoln Center. We were very happy with our experience. We shared two tapas: Ella empanadas and smoky sprouts. Both were excellent and sharing two produced two good sized appetizer portions. We both then had the ultimate kote burger. Large portion with fries and salad. Many people ordered paella, but it takes 35 minutes to cook so we decided not to order it since we had to make a concert. Food was all very reasonably priced. Wine was expensive. It's a small restaurant and it's a good thing we had a reservation in advance. It was full the whole time we were there.

    Really attentive service and good food! I would definitely recommend the unlimited brunch option if you’re there on the weekend.
