- MMarkSacramento / Sacramento Valley •29 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe service was outstanding, the food was prepared, perfectly, and the, ambience is always very nice. This time there was a party going on, so the noise was just a little bit louder but not obscene. If you go to restaurants around Christmas time you have to expect that. We love this restaurant and we will be back again. More infoBrasserie du MondePrice: Expensive• French• Sacramento•4.6
- MMarySan Francisco Bay Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe had quite the memorable dinner at Ella. To begin with, we ordered the fresh baked bread and butter. The bread was so very fresh, and the butter light and delicious. We also ordered the butter leaf salad with an incredible dressing. The lettuce and vegetables were so crisp and fresh, along with the incredible salad dressing...it was delightful. For an appetizer, we ordered the mushrooms with in-house made fresh ricotta cheese... another incredibly delicious symphony of flavors that melted in your mouth. Our main course was the Salmon, absolutely incredibly delicious! It was lightly grilled on the outside cooked medium.. The salmon literally melted in your mouth like a marsh mellow. By far, Ella is the very best fine dining restaurant in the Sacramento area.More infoElla Dining Room and BarPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Sacramento•4.7

- SShelleyHawaii •41 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 8, 2024Really good meal at Tequila Museo Mayahuel. My wife and I shared a starter, small plate, large dish (entree), and dessert. All of the food was excellent - chipotle almond dip with chips; dobladitas de Chile poblano; arrachera Mexicana con enchilada; and Imposible. Perfect size, flavor, and presentation on all of them, even the minor details such as the rice and beans that come with the main dish. Service was prompt and attentive without being overbearing. The only "negative" for us that it was extremely loud - we prefer a quieter atmosphere, but it was noisy throughout (mainly just a lot of talking from other tables, but it carries and bounces around). We will definitely go back, the food and service absolutely merit it.More infoTequila Museo MayahuelPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Sacramento•4.5
