    We came for the Valentines special tasting menu. Normally I am not a fan of the bloated vdaypreset menu, however at $165 per person this over delivered and was truly special! 9 courses of excitement, attentive service, wonderful wine and an unpretentious atmosphere. The food, I mean this was the best meal we have ever had! The surprise winner of the night? “The Beet”. No words can even do justice to a simple roasted beet with a magical ride of adventure! And the best part? As they said, this is not a one off for the holiday, this is just like any other night at the restaurant with their tasting menu!

    Consistently excellent dining at Ella's. We dined here for Valentines Day last night, and as always it was perfect. The chocolate mousse special dessert was really good. Ella's never makes us feel rushed. Ella's is one of our constant go-to's ever since they opened.
