Food was delicious! Our server Celeste was fantastic, always on it with the recommendations. Water was always filled, food was quick, hot and delicious. Only complaint was the noise level of the music. I had to ask a couple of time for our server to repeat what she was saying, and the table next to us had the same complaint. We will be back, no question!

About the restaurant

At Ella, we’ve reimagined the cocktail bar scene, curating an environment that seamlessly merges sophistication and the resilient strength of femininity. Our brand concept is a tribute to the modern woman, inviting her to embrace her edgy and mischievous side within a backdrop of classic elegance.
We believe in celebrating the duality of being strong and sensual, and our A cocktail bar is a place where powerful women can revel in their individuality. Ella invites you to raise a glass to sophistication, strength, and a touch of naughtiness, where classic meets contemporary, and where every sip is a reminder that life’s pleasures are meant to be savored with elegance and a hint of rebellion.
