    Ella is a fabulous dining experience. The service is exceptional and the food is exquisite. I love everything about it. Be ready to spend a bundle but worth it! We have dined here several times and each experience has been positively memorable!

    This was our first fine dining experience as a couple and the Valentine’s day menu was perfect! We got to take anything we didn’t eat home, and their champagne was delicious! We had a perfect night, and all of the staff was amazing to us. We’ll definitely be back!

    Food was good, service was impeccable, the wait was a little long but understandable since it was Valentine’s Day. Bathroom clean and stylish, the full scale mirror was cool.

    Service and ambiance is always great here. Sadly, the food is just not as good as it once was. I go to Ella a few times a year and the last few times have been amazing, simply because of the food. The staff is great, decor and location are perfection, but the food has let me down. I write this in the hope that the menu either gets a makeover or the classics get back to their 10/10 quality I know can be there.

    Service was amazing. The valet was awesome. I love the space. Our drinks were incredible. But in a restaurant at this level, each of our dishes, had something wrong with it and that shouldn’t happen. The lobster was overcooked. The steak was overcooked the quail had a bunch of burned pieces on the outside. Maybe it’s because it’s lunch service, but for $200 for two people that shouldn’t happen. I’m disappointed in them.

    Their food is just so good and prepared beautifully. The service was flawless and they were so thoughtful. When I made the reservation there were only high top tables available, which I don’t really care for but I took it because we love this restaurant and it was a special evening. I did request a regular table if one opened up….it didn’t and that was ok. They’re high tops, as it turned out, are really very comfortable and not as high as some places. The manager came by later on to check on us and apologized for not being able to accommodate our request. That was very nice and appreciated. The noise level was a bit high, but then my hearing is not so great anymore so it could just be chalked up to that. All in all, it was a great experience and I look forward to returning.

    This is a fantastic restaurant. Our server, Eden was super fabulous. Every detail was perfect and she didn't seem to mind our needy friend. This is possibly the best restaurant in Sacramento. We will always come back when we are in town
