    We have been coming to Ella for many, many years. It’s one of our favorite restaurants in Sacramento. We drive from Rocklin to eat here.  Many times we’ve eaten here before attending a Sacramento Broadway show. Fortunately for us, three years ago we made dinner reservations before seeing Hamilton and we were assigned Kayla as our server. At that particular meal, we had a large party of 8. Kayla was an outstanding server. She was extremely friendly, always smiling, and extremely attentive. We’ve been lucky to have her as our server several more times since then. We had tickets to see Hamilton again last night and we requested Kayla. As fate would have it, she was working and assigned as our server!!!! As always, she was a pure joy and greatly enhanced our dining experience. She is one of the best servers we’ve ever had!! Also, the manager, Shane, came to our table several times to check on how we were doing and engaged us in enjoyable conversations. We have also known Shane for many years and knew him when he worked at various restaurants before going to Ella.. He is the ultimate goodwill ambassador for the restaurant. As always, the food was delicious… Especially the beet and date salad. My wife really enjoyed the lamb entrée. Additionally, the bread pudding and banana ice cream was a great dessert.
