    Our server Jose was Amazing! He was very attentive,friendly & efficient. Great food and ambience! Delicious beef enchiladas filled with tons of tender juicy shredded beef wrapped in homemade awesome tortillas & smothered with a magnificent sherry cream sauce with a hint of spice. My husband had the grilled fish which was very fresh. He put some of my delicious enchilada sauce on his fish which made it even more tasty! Great find, we’ll be back!

    Even though the volume was high due to a private event, the service alone was worth the visit. Interesting craft cocktails and a well imagined and prepared meal make Ella’s a stand out @ the capital.

    Season 52 just does a very good job! Since we had early reservations we sat on the bar side in a booth and were able to enjoy the happy hour menu. So, my wife had a glass of wine with a flatbread for $14! I had a happy hour drink along with the tuna tartare. We shared the flatbread and tuna and then even had one of the desserts! All this for under $50! Just a great little dinner for the two of us! Great value and great food!
