   Food quality was absolutely incredible and the service was just as incredible! However, the kindness and hospitality from both Jay, our server, and Chef Charles was truly the best part of our dining experience. I just sold my 3 restaurants near the Gators football stadium so I am definitely am very picky yet both Jay and Charles completely blew me, my wife and 4 kids away! No trip to Nashville is complete unless you visit Ella’s by Chef Christian Petroni especially due to Chef Charles and if you are lucky enough to get Jay as your server!

   Had the Christmas dinner buffet. The restaurant was simple and elegant. Had just enough food options. Tried a little bit of everything. Our server was great and everything was delicious! A wonderful Christmas dinner.

   The tenderloin was very rare. The cow was still bleeding and mooing. I could have understood medium, medium well, but for it to be spilling blood on your plate was disgusting. The potatoes and carrots were not done. It was hard to cut them with a knife. Basically for $87 not including tip, I ate some pizza and a piece of cheesecake and a Dr. Pepper. I was HIGHLY disappointed and would not come back.

   Our desire was to have a special Christmas Eve dinner in Nashville. Ella’s did not let us down. Our waiter was great and we had the best salmon piccata ever! Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend Ella’s by Christian Petroni.

   Fantastic food and service. The atmosphere does not fit the food at all. Shame, it may effect its longevity.

   We loved our first experience at Ella's and can't wait to return. The food and cocktails were delicious, beautifully presented, and robust portions. Our server, Chris, was knowledgeable about the menu and genuinely seemed so happy to be there. We appreciated that the GM came to check in on us when we got our first few bites. Such a great discovery!

   The bartender was great. The hostess asked us to wait at the bar for 10 minutes, then forgot about us. I had to remind her we were past our reservation. The server was quick to start, but then drinks took 15 minutes. I can only assume she forgot as we watched them sitting on the bar for over 10 minutes. Three out of four dishes were decent. While I was talked into the finest dish (veal). It was horribly over cooked, had no flavor, and impossible to eat. After everyone else at the table finished eating. The manager finally stopped by and asked if I wanted another....He did apologize and removed it from my check. I don't recommend this place.

   Hi John, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience at Ella’s by Christian Petroni didn’t meet your expectations. We were a bit confused as our Open Table records show your group arrived at 7:20 for your 7:30 reservation and were seated at 7:33 with cocktails from the bar. When you mentioned your dissatisfaction with the veal, your server promptly offered a replacement before our manager stepped in. We always strive to provide excellent food and service, and we’re genuinely disappointed we didn’t meet those standards during your visit. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future. Sincerely, The Ella’s by Christian Petroni Team
