    Now that only Garden at Ellera is open (Ellera, the fancier side is closed), the overall experience is definitely less refined. Food quality very variable. Pizza good. Salads good. Pasta dishes have not impressed. Wine list too limited by glass. Specialty cocktails good. In need of better management & better trained servers.

    Things always get a little clunky during a management shift, and these guys are going through those pains for sure lately, but our evening last night was spot on! Our server was awesome - wish I got his name but he was working on the back patio dinner 11/4. We had 5 people and we were headed to a movie, so we put our order in right away and he got our drinks and food out very quickly

    Waiter took a long time for request after food was served. He brought bill before we finished dinner, he didn’t even ask about desderts. We even thought there weren’t any. Came later to push on close tab. Then we saw at her tables with dessert. We just left, will never come back

    My friend and I went here for Sunday brunch at 11:30am. There was only one other table. We left around 1:30 and by then, about 8 other tables had come. I’m shocked by the few people that were there! They’ve got a beautiful patio, delicious brunch options, and a generous mimosa flight (entire bottle, 4 juices for $30). I ordered the crab cakes egg Benedict and she ordered the French toast - both of which were very well seasoned and cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back.

    One of the worst experiences ever. Ordered 2 cocktails and my blackberry smash was so tart with lemon that I could not drink it so I sent it back for them to redo. It took a really long time to get service from the initial water to appetizer etc. Our entree never showed up at all and waiter came by after 45 minutes and asked how our food was (that we never received). At that point we just wanted to cash out and go home. The manager came over as we were leaving and brought us our entrees to go and comped everything but the appetizer. Ate the pizza at home which was ok but not great and hubbys chef special chicken was not good at all. tastes like it was fried in old grease. They have a lot to fix at this place. Will not be back.

    Food was not good and way overpriced. We had to wait 15-20 minutes for our check while the place was pretty empty.

    We were there at 6:30 on a Sunday. It was mostly empty with just a few tables occupied. We ordered the fritto misto appetizer, and it was mostly fried crumbs of batter with a few over fried calamari rings. It seemed that we received what was at the bottom of the basket. We notified the server. My husband ordered the lobster roll and said it was very good. I ordered the lobster fettuccine. The “homemade” pasta had an odd texture, like maybe it was gluten-free instead. The lobster was over-cooked and rubbery and there was not a single ripe tomato in it. Many were pale pink and the others were green. Although the dish is described to have marscapone, there was no creaminess or richness. We advised the server and they comped that dish. We had eaten there a couple of years ago and it was quite good, so this was very disappointing. There are too many other choices, so I don’t think we’ll be back.

    My boyfriend took me on a date here for a romantic date night. We had the cinnamon mule and it was FANTASTIC! Tasted like fall in a cup! We had the crab cakes, lobster fettuccine , linguine with clams, and tiramisu! Cannot recommend enough, no complaints about anything!
