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!!!

The food was fantastic. Our server was also very good. We had 2 platters, 2 small plates, and one appetizer item. The flavor combinations for all of the dishes were both complex and delicious. I will definitely return.

My wife and I went to celebrate our anniversary. I must say it was a treat. The service was extraordinary. Everyone who served us was pleasant and it was obvious they enjoyed working at the restaurant. My wife and I could not recall having a better dining experience. The food was out of this world. I don't understand why they have not been given a Michelin star.
