    Our first visit to Ella Dining Room and Bar was nothing short of spectacular. We started with the truffle brioche, which set the tone for an outstanding meal. My wife had the salmon, which she said was the best she’s ever had, and I had the crab-filled halibut over greens—easily one of the best dishes I’ve ever tasted. We finished with an incredible piece of chocolate cake. The quality of the food, the service, and the atmosphere made for an exceptional evening. Not inexpensive, but absolutely worth it. We’ll definitely be back!
