    Returned to Ella after years. I did not remember how amazing a place this is. We had impeccable and professional service, but with a distinctly warm and friendly touch. I spoke with our server and the Sommelier and they took a great deal of time and effort to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. Very much felt “above and beyond” which was perfect for our evening. Also, even though we were in a crowded restaurant, somehow it felt like we were dining alone. The ambient noise was low, and hearing was easy.

    Fabulous cocktails, we enjoyed Manhattan and white linen. Our waiter was so professional and humble and reserved. The bread and butter was amazing with the artichoke appetizer. Salads and mains were delectable. We will be back for sure.

    Very good food and service! In particular, meats were cooked perfectly, and flavorings were bold and tasty. Only complaints would be the decor was a bit boring, dining room can get pretty loud, the wines by the glass selection is limited, and some of the dishes added garnishes or additions that did not add to the flavor.
