    Wonderful food and drinks. I took my mother for her birthday and we had a lovely dinner. Staff was unobtrusive and attentive.

    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.

    Always a delight. Great place for dinner or lunch to meet with clients or bring their special someone. It is a great location with plenty of ambience and easy to get to whether you’re going to a basketball game or you’re having a business lunch. It is a great place for service meals and delight. Plus they have lunchtime valet parking as well and there’s parking around the corner if you wish to pay.

    New Year's Eve dinner with family and friends was superb. As always the entrees were outstanding, atmosphere lively, service, in particular our server Bryan, was friendly, timely, efficient and with class. Bryan greatly added to the overall experience to bring in the New Year. We have always enjoyed dining at Ella's and the evening was special. We look forward to our next visit.

    First time there, and looking for a different option to celebrate a birthday. . Starters were great. Entrees were not very flavorful. The price did not match the food expectations. Starters came out quickly, and entrees came out extremely late. Waiter was very apologetic, and said he was going to do his best to get the entrees out sooner and they did not come out until very late.

    Food is very good as is the service. Tables are small and close together so it’s very noisy.
