Nice, casual vibe, excellent food, really attentive service. Only caveat, is it is no longer a kitchen and wine bar. The wines are decent, but they need to upgrade their Yelp profile as it doesn’t accurately reflect the fact that this is a local bar. All things being equal, a nice experience! Brian and Jes were fantastic!

Came here for my birthday! Live music, great atmosphere. Got here early and everything taste so fresh. The wings are AMAZING!! Garlic Parmesan too. Got the lobster ravioli and it’s freaking delicious. Husband got the smoke house beer cheese double and it’s perfect. Great atmosphere, love the vibe. Got a flight of wine too, delicious

Seriously the best fried mushrooms I have ever had! We got the smashburger, everything about it was perfect. Fries are so yummy too. We were glad we came across this place and even though we live an hour away we will be back!

Food presentation is good. The waitress was nice and very attentive but we stood at the door for a while without being seated because everyone was in the back. The food wasn’t delicious but wasn’t terrible either. However, the rosemary parmesean fries were great. The menu is fairly diverse, so give this one a try and see what you think if you are in the mood for something different. (Pictured: Firecracker shrimp and Brussel sprouts).

We have love coming here in the past. There is no longer table service and the food was subpar. The steak was so salty, it tasted basically like soy sauce. No one checked on us once. When they served our appetizer and we asked about our drinks the response was “I wasn’t in charge of that”. You could tell the appetizer had been sitting for a while. I am saddened by this since we had enjoyed Ella’s prior.

I’ll start by saying that I don’t like leaving negative reviews but I was on the fence about trying this place and my fears were realized. Took 10 minutes to get acknowledged after we sat down then another 20 minutes to get our drinks. The young couple that sat down after us ended up leaving after 15 minutes since they were never greeted. The waitress was nice enough but she was swamped because her server never showed up. I get the troubles of running a business but you still gotta be able to run it especially when customers are spending $75+ for a couples dinner. The food was excellent although a bit overpriced. We were told their produce delivery never made it so they were out of salad, mushrooms, and other fresh items. My gripes have nothing to do with the staff. They did great with the hand they were dealt but I’m not coming back for this type of experience again.

I did not know this place was here. I’m so happy we found it. Our waitress was amazing. Amber did a great job highlighting each course. As well as recommending amazing cocktails and wine. She gave us just enough space but was very diligent in her approach. The soft ambient lighting set the mood. Great place for a dinner date with your special someone. The shrimp and grits were delicious and the braised short ribs is a must order. The short ribs was cooked perfectly and so tender. The only thing I would change about the meal is to put the carrots on the side( personal preference).

If you haven’t been to Ella Bar & Soul yet, you’re seriously missing out! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming, fun, and full of great energy. The atmosphere is perfect whether you’re going out with friends or just looking for a chill night with good food and drinks.
And let’s talk about Jesi — she is AMAZING. Her service is top-tier! She’s friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. You can tell she genuinely cares about the customers and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Jesi truly elevates the whole experience!
Now the wings… WOW. Crispy, flavorful, cooked perfectly, and seasoned just right. Some of the best wings I’ve had, hands down. Every bite was on point!
Great vibes, incredible service from Jesi, and delicious wings — Ella Bar & Soul gets 5 stars from me every time. Can’t wait to go back!
