Best Hot Spot Restaurants in El Dorado Hills

We stopped by Ella's bar for appetizers and drinks at the bar while waiting for a friend. Claire W, working the bar, immediately made us feel at home. Cocktails, wine, and a couple of small plates, and everything was perfect. Super yummy, nicely presented, perfect portions. Claire answered all our questions, gave us good insight into what to expect from the small plates, and her wine recommendations were spot-on. Claire also has the perfect personality for the hospitality industry. Warm, open, patient, knowledgeable, and fun. We loved her!!! Next time we fly in to Sacramento, we're definitely heading to Ella's. You should too!!!

We used to eat here often before covid. We did take outs often after covid. We were shopping for a new car across the street in the auto mall and decided to stop here and have lunch. We both had lobster rolls. A new item just added to the menu last week. It was delicious, lots of lobster chucks with delicious small chopped veges in a tasty grilled toasted half spited thick bread. It comes with fries. Which was freshly fried with herbs. It's a very yummy and satisfying lunch.

The dinner was great, our server, Jose, was top-notch!!

My wife and I had a lovely experience with everything from the bread to the drinks, appetizers, and main course!! Bone marrow asada is a must try!! Pork belly burnt end melt in you mouth crazy good!!
