   Our server Matt was wonderful!!! We had made reservations which required a credit card and if you cancelled 1 day prior you would be charged 25.00 pp. I hadn’t read too many reviews but a few hours before our reservation I started reading them and by then it was too late to cancel. We decided to ordered the 3 appetizers with the better reviews: the mozzarella, shrimp and meatballs which came out all at the same time..The shrimp was luke warm lacking salt. The meatballs hot were good. The mozzarella was the best and had the best cheese pull. The 8 hr ragu was initially good but in the end it was too much having the mozarella, meatballs and chicken parm with the same thick & heavy ragu which needed more sweetness. Even though the reviews for the chicken parm weren’t great, we wanted to give it a shot. We really wanted to enjoy the chicken parm, however, like the other reviews the chicken was not crispy because it was drenched in the ragu. The pasta was homemade but that sauce was so overpowering. We took the first few bites of the chicken parm and it was soggy…we didn’t finish the rest or take it home. Matt was very attentive and we did not complain to him about the food. Unfortunately, we won’t be back unless we wanted just the mozzarella sticks.

   We got there a bit early for our reservation so we had a drink at the bar. Then about 10 minutes later we were shown to our seats and had a delicious dinner. Definitely suggest the mozzarella sticks for an appetizer.

   Enjoyed a Thanksgiving buffet and arrived early for my reservation but was seated promptly. Good food, but a bit pricey, especially with adult beverages. Kids buffet was free, however!

    We were in Nashville for Thanksgiving and Ella’s was recommended to us by several people. Nashville is a town where you have a lot of high quality food choices…and this was a great choice. Excellent food, great drinks, friendly and exceptional service. Atmosphere was open and friendly without being overwhelming and noisy. Highly recommend!
