    I will be returning to Ella. This initial experience was a lunch time that. I enjoyed the burger and learned about the process of creating the meal, the baking of the bread, and the quality of meat used, just how this meal differs from Ella's sister resturants. The NA tonic was refreshing, I look forward to giving their signature G&T a try. The ambiance is refreshing in Sacramento, where we have so few high-end establishments. I'd recommend visiting solo at the bar, at a table with a friend's or a private space to enjoy your party. Pricing was fine, overall comparable to area resturants.

    We were first seated at the bar while we waited for our table. Watching the kitchen is fascinating. Although we had a reservation, we had to wait for our table, but it wasn’t a long enough wait to finish our pre-dinner cocktails. Our table was secluded from the main area, so we felt like we almost had our own private room. We had the pre fixe menu with wine pairings. The wine pairings were excellent. We made our selections from the menu and the staff’s recommendations only reinforced our choices. Overall, the experience is pricey, but totally worth it. It was probably the best meal of our lives.
