Ella’s Public House

I so enjoyed our recent experience at Ella's Public House.We stopped by for dinner on a brisk autumn evening. We started with cocktails, which were delicious. I was surprised to see a sazerac on the cocktail menu (the vibes are more basic bar beverages) but it is indeed on the menu. I ordered it and it was a beautifully rendered sazerac. For our appetizer we ordered and enjoyed the burrata. The burrata was creamy, delicate, and balsamic drizzled. It's served with small garlic toast and was a wonderful start to the meal. For my main, I got the caesar salad with salmon added. The caesar was chopped (no overly large leaves of romaine to contend with), crisp, and perfectly dressed. The addition grilled salmon topped it off to make a wonderful and filling meal.The service was attentive and efficient. The atmosphere is deceptive-at first glance it has a basic sports bar dining room vibe--but, check out the sunken fireplace with soft bench seating. I can picture myself there with a cocktail this winter. Such cozy vibes!Get to it!

We came for the prime rib on a Saturday night. We were seated promptly but that was the last thing that was prompt. It took 15 minutes before someone came for our drink order, another 10 minutes to get them. We ordered our meals and it was nearly an hour before they arrived at our table. What the heck? We watched multiple tables order their steaks, get served said steaks, eat their meals, pay and leave. When we finally received our food it was lukewarm but at that point we were afraid to send them back for fear we'd have to wait another hour. The flavor was good - no complaint about the actual food other than the temperature - but we were there for almost 90 minutes before we ever even got it. With so many places on my "to try" list there is no need for us to go back to Ella's.

We have been to Ella's a few times in the past month. It's a really cozy place on the inside. Come in for drinks or stay for a bite to eat. They have a great beer menu and tasty food. Loved the nachos and big pretzel on the appetizer menu. The burger with the mac and cheese with pork was to die for. The fries are good too. We jokingly asked our waiter to tell us a joke and when he came back with our drinks he delivered! If you haven't been to Ella's in a while or at all, give it a try! P.s. they are closed on Mondays.

Had a Friday night reservation for 7:30. Had to wait a few min longer to be seated, but once we had a table it took about 10-15min before were were acknowledged by a server who had to ask if we were helped yet.Aside from the service being slow and food taking a long time the food and drinks were good.They list muddled lemonades on the menu, which is a lie because the strawberry lemonade just had flavored syrup in it, not real fruit, which muddled would signify.The fish fry was good, not super oily from the fryer, and decent sized pieces.I enjoyed the Old Fashioned, but as expected with no drink prices listed, it was $12.

Stopped in tonight for our Friday fish fry. Sorry I didn't take a pic. If you are stopping in and they have the Pretzel crusted whitefish served on a bed of fettuccine noodles I tell no lies! My grandson tried it and said this is the best fish fry ever! Two thumbs up! I kid you not this kid is one of the most Finicky kids that there is. For him to say he likes something it's a miracle. He wants to return and order an entire meal just for him and not share grandma's Kid tested grandma approved Bon appétit

Good food, Good Environment, Great service. Plenty of room for large parties. We had a spontaneous large group and we had a delicious Fri fish fry

Super cute spot with big patio area. Cheese curds were delicious, the flatbread was a little underwhelming. I'd go back to try more!

We came here with family for an early dinner snack time meal with 7 people. We were seated promptly and our server Kate, appeared to introduce herself and take drink orders. That went smoothly. At the appropriate time Kate appeared to take orders for food. We all figured out what we wanted and specifically I ordered boneless chicken wings, pineapple teriyaki and ordered 6 because there were half price on a Sunday. Everyone else ordered things that were also easy to understand or so I thought. All orders were presented in a fairly long period of time because the restaurant was getting more patrons. My chicken wing order arrived with regular wings, not boneless. I noted this to Kate and she said she would have them redone. What arrived in 8to 10 minutes, after everyone was half done eating was 6 , 3/4 inch chunks of overdone chicken with little pineapple and strong teriyaki flavoring. One of our other members had an order of 10 regular wings which were more than twice the size of my Oder of six and appeared very meaty. Other ordered were delivered ok, but not especially great, thus the star rating I had to give. I would dread ordering this little chunks if they were full price and smaller than McDonald's nuggets, and overcooked to compound the problem.

Moved to the area in 2018 so this has been a common "go to" place but tonight will be our last as customers. I'm giving a 2nd star only because the bar service is awesome, but we're done with their food.We ordered a few to-go meals on our way home after picking up our children, upon arrival asked specific questions if items were included in the packages without untying the bags they'd prepared, and they said yes. Upon getting home, every meal had something wrong or missing. When we called to ask questions, the waitress/hostess said multiple times that things were not included with the meals, but the menu says otherwise, when challenged - they said it's not in their ordering system or "they ran out" and multiple "I don't know" or "they weren't sure" comments -- No interest in apologizing or trying to fix anything.

We've lived in the area for 3 years and finally visited today. The bartender seemed fairly cordial. Ordered a basket of fries to hold us over until dinner and when we got them, first of all, not a typical size of a "basket" order and second, they must have taken all the leftovers and piled them in. They were lukewarm at best. Who ruins french fries?! Very disappointed.
