The mission stays the same though. Good food ties us to the memories and the people we love. I share the memories and the food I love. 3 years ago I started a little food truck breakfast in a little bar parking lot, today we call that parking lot ours and that little bar, is now Little Riggs.

    The food was superb! We started with the appetizer that was cheese in the pastry puff. We had a steak special that was so delicious and the chicken dish. The wine was also very good. Our server Garrett was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and the wine. Great place for food and the wine!

    Consistently excellent dining at Ella's. We dined here for Valentines Day last night, and as always it was perfect. The chocolate mousse special dessert was really good. Ella's never makes us feel rushed. Ella's is one of our constant go-to's ever since they opened.

    What a wonderful evening and way to spend with someone special. The food was delicious, the drinks were a marvel and even the other guests were a pleasure to be in the company of. That said the staff had a cohesive, calm elevated demeanor that set the stage a memorable night. I’ll be bringing my family back for a breakfast so they can experience its charm as well.

    Five ladies who lunch had a wonderful experience on ALL levels. The food was exceptionally good - everyone enjoyed their chosen dishes. Our server was very knowledgeable about the food, wine and cocktails. Valet parking is always appreciated too. A wonderful lunch and we were not rushed out after we’d finished wasting. Totally delightful on all counts.
