Wife's King Crab was supper yummy, and had very large pieces, and mine were Scallops, that were big, and very tasty. Wine offerings were too expensive, IMO, and they should offer some budget reds and whites, [cheapest one that I saw, and ordered, was a half bottle at $38. Some of the cheapest were $10 a glass]. Have a few drinks, or glasses of vino before your dinner. Excellent food and service, overall.

We stopped by Ella's bar for appetizers and drinks at the bar while waiting for a friend. Claire W, working the bar, immediately made us feel at home. Cocktails, wine, and a couple of small plates, and everything was perfect. Super yummy, nicely presented, perfect portions. Claire answered all our questions, gave us good insight into what to expect from the small plates, and her wine recommendations were spot-on. Claire also has the perfect personality for the hospitality industry. Warm, open, patient, knowledgeable, and fun. We loved her!!! Next time we fly in to Sacramento, we're definitely heading to Ella's. You should too!!!
