american food and service here is excellent. I wanted to post a food pic but it looked so good I couldn't stop. Really nothing but enjoyable experiences here, I'll be back. The bill was fair for the quality of the food. Food is similar to a cafe in Indianapolis I loved.

We had a late lunch or early dinner at around 3PM on a Thursday. There was plenty of free spots to sit at table tops.We ordered appetizers from the happy hour menu and we were pretty happy with the choices.We shared : 12 oysters, 2 steak tartare, 1 cheese braised and a ceasar salad. Everything was really tasty! Although the happy hour menu offers a smaller range of choice, we managed to get a good amount enough to be full

By far one of the best meals we've had in Sacramento. Scallops, prime rib, risotto....all delish! And the service is top mitch. You will not be disappointed. Great special occasion restaurant.

The lobster was tasteless dry and over cooked. Service was messy kept making mistakes on food to each person. Not a real sharp staff. Food was undercooked or overcooked it was really tasteless and had no hints of flavors at all. Had to send several plates back. the on site manage was not sutied for running a french restaurant. The one true bright spot was the valets parking. Enough said. 10 folks 1600+$$ wasted time and money. I took my company here after reading reviews and talking to staff. Our collective decided very poor i ask those with great reviews to really think about the post.I have been to Paris always had great food. I expected a real experience.

I came here for an anniversary dinner and we had a fantastic experience. Started with a cheese board and scotch flight, progressed onto the mains and finished off with pavlova and a lovely dessert wine. I've read a few comments complaining about the price but I felt like the service and food was worth it (yes, the portions aren't large but the quality of the ingredients justified it). It's a lovely space and the staff are wonderful. We enjoyed the occasion and will be coming again.

My boyfriend and I went out for an early Valentine's Day dinner to Ella and I am so glad we made that decision! We ordered the Shrimp cocktail and Bone Marrow for appetizers and it was delicious! Afterwards we had the Tomahawk steak with the golden potatoes and we barely finished it. Everything was so delicious and the staff was superb. It's best to make reservations right away! There's parking across the street at the Hyatt or there's Valet. All in all it was such a great experience and a wonderful evening! Definitely recommend for a night out and good eats.

The ambience is regal, the wait staff is phenomenal, professional, and efficient. The appetizers were my favorite, with the steak tartar and caviar being wonderfully tasty. I also had the scallops, they were cooked to perfection. The one caveat I would put, is this restaurant is strong in the way they flavor and don't necessarily let the natural simple flavors shine through, that's simply my preference, the food is still masterfully prepared.

The food, atmosphere, staff - everything is phenomenal. I can’t recommend this place highly enough for a special dinner out! While nothing in the menu is specifically listed as gluten free, many dishes were naturally gluten free or we were able to modify it to be served gluten free.

Fantastic food with an ever evolving menu and great drinks. Always good service and they have an option to tip the cooks as well. They care about their employees and guest which makes Ella's the best restaurant around.

I’m totally not their customer so take this review with a grain of salt. Small portions, pricey entrees and drinks. Great atmosphere and in a pretty nice part of downtown. Slightly snooty feel to it but hey, if that’s your scene then you’ll love it.

Vibrant atmosphere. Lobster claws were tender and delicious. Didn't have to pick at shells. Cheese board was okay but felt like something I could assemble on my own.The gin and tonic is their signature drink. The smoothness of the house-made tonic water came through, but the gin flavor did not speak to my tastes.

Perhaps one of my favorite places to eat at. Did a birthday dinner this past Friday for my friends birthday. We had a 9pm reservation and had to wait 30 minutes at the bar while waiting for our table. The staff eventually gave us a private room and 3 complimentary appetizers! Wow! We didn't expect that at all! Thank you Ella! Staff and service is bar none.

I love this place but the value is not great for Sacramento. I’m a big fan of the sellands brand and visit all their restaurants. Ella is a fun time but the restaurant is huge and so the service /attention from the wait staff is average.

Amazing and I do mean amazing food. A little over priced but friendly staff and delicious oysters. The bartenders were above and beyond kind. I had the heirloom tomato salad and the oysters

Delicious scallops. Sevice was a bit lacking as the server completely forgot our desert so we left without it.

Questions & Answers

Ella has great coffee. Also starbuck is nearby. Across the street is a place also

Valet park or the street in the surrounding fee blocks has options.

Yes. If you arrive early, go inside and the valet will get the keys from the hostess.
