Alenxander was an amazing server, and we appreciate how attentive he was. The atmosphere was pleasant, and we enjoyed our food. The filet seems a bit overpriced, but we enjoyed our food overall.

We've been to Ellie's a few times over the years, but this visit was really lovely. The holiday decor is fabulous as ever, and the Jazz trio playing was really special. The service was great today, too. The menu seems to have been given a refresh since we've last visited, and we enjoyed our brunch options.
