We chose Ella on a recommendation. We were warmly greeted and shown to our table. We chose an outside table. Area was clean and the staff were incredibly helpful. Liam served our table and he was able to explain the dishes and wine recommendations. The food was delivered in a good time. We shared the Kangaroo Tartare, Curry leaf cured snapper, Pan Rolls and crispy pumpkin and Eggplant Moju, with a condiment platter. The dishes were absolutely delicious. Dessert was the sorbet. A very good wine list. Prices are at the higher end, but we knew that. Great restaurant for a special occasion. Staff were attentive and helpful. Big thanks to Liam, we can see that you take real pride in your role. The only downside was location, next to a car park. We would thoroughly recommend Ella. Thank you
