    Great birthday dinner with friends. They placed us in a nice, quiet area/table and even offered to turn down the music (we were in the back) so we could hear and talk! From mini cornmeal muffins with butter and pepper jelly to She crab soup and crab cake then chocolate torte dessert we all enjoyed our dinner! Lovely atmosphere and decor!

    My wife and I had our 49th anniversary supper at Glen Ella Inn and Restaurant on 11/23/24. We both enjoy lamb which my wife had on a prior visit, so I had the 4 pc. rack of lamb and she ordered the beef, both medium rare. Her beef was so tender you could use a table knife. My New Zealand lamb was grilled and excellent also. The restaurant has 2 separate rooms each with fireplaces and approximately 7 tables each with no dividers in each room with the noise level being quiet while conversing normally. Our waitress, Bonnie was attentive, not overly, and we never felt rushed, but our reservation was 7 pm. and it was near 9 when we finished and closing time. For ambiance with an excellent meal, for a quiet evening, Glen Ella is a great choice. Our bill with 1 french onion soup and 1 coffee and the 2 entrees was a little over $100.
