    Wow, what an amazing dining experience! From the warm olives and our Appetizer of Mussels in the most delicious saute sauce, then onto my Halibut cooked to perfection and my husband's Moraccan Lamb we were in heaven! ELLA'S owner and award winning Chef Roland came to our table and signed her new cookbook for me! We have eaten there and celebrated our wedding anniversary for 6 years in a row now and will continue to do so with God's grace, as we are getting older and travel from Pennsylvania but we truly look forward to our visit to ELLA'S each year ! The service is impeccable. We highly recommend this dining experience! With warmest regards, Alex and Laurie Constantino

    My wife and I had a wonderful post-show dinner on a Saturday night. The table was ready for us, the server was friendly and knowledgeable and the food was fresh, creative and delicious: with many locally sourced food options.  They happily accommodated my wife’s dairy and gluten allergies. They had a nice local beer selection and the wine list, though limited, was well chosen and high-quality.
