Located in the Fairlane Hotel, guests are invited up to the fabled fourth floor and into a retro-modern dining and cocktail experience. Ellington’s offers a tasteful nod to the clearly familiar by serving nostalgic mid-20th-century staples updated with modern panache. Indoor and outdoor seating options on our wraparound terrace boast both views and vibe alike.

Complimentary valet with a minimum transaction of $50.

Excellent place to celebrate a dear friends birthday. They happily refrigerated her cake while we ate and it was no rush at all! Excellent drink recommendations by the waiter- a new peach drink- amazing! Wonderful service, very personable and kept the night light and fun! Delicious variety of apps and dinner to share.

Grabbed a casual dinner with friends before heading to TPAC for a show. Food was good, our server Jenna was great, and they got us in and out without feeling rushed as we headed to the show.

We had a group of six ladies and had been last year to Ellingtons. Dinner before our TPAC show just wasn’t what we expected or experienced last year. The room is so dark you can’t see the menu. Salmon was too salty. Hamburger was tough. Other meals were very basic and not good.

The lobster was tough and I couldn’t eat it. The restaurant’s website promotes happy hour and includes oysters during this time. I can’t find where it says happy hour is only for the chairs at the bar. Disappointing experience

Our dining experience was very good. We began with cocktails, created with skill, and then move into appetizers. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and the Peppadews were pleasant bites to snack on while we enjoyed our Anniversary dinner date. For the entree, the salmon was perfectly cooked, with a lovely crust on the top and tender inside. It rested in top of a fennel risotto, that was also a treat. Overall, this is a great date night dinner, if you’re into conversation. All notes were hit!
