    Booked a solo reservation after the Kings game. Was sat quickly upon arrival and was well taken care of by Kim, my server. As expected, it was very busy, but the service, food and ambience were perfect.

    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!

    Service and ambiance were great! Drinks were fantastic, our server who said he was relatively new to the establishment was also amazing and set the tone for our evening. My fiance ordered chicken breast and I ordered the pork chop special. Both wee subpar for the cost. Expected more, but as we visited mid week, would expect things to be subpar.
