   Overall, the food was good. I went with the intention of it being a Nashville iconic spot by the way it was advertised on OpenTable and with the credit card hold, but it was in a hotel and only 1 other table was there at the time. That was disappointing. The buffet was limited, and they did not have omelets to order; instead, they had scrambled eggs which looked unappealing. The lunch portion of the buffet was better and the chicken parm was amazing! I was disappointed with the selections and will not return. Although the service was good, and the staff was friendly.

   Food wasn’t my favorite- all of the dishes seemed like singular ingredients to me. If you like really modern, deconstructed cuisine, you’ll like this but it just wasn’t my cup of tea.

   Walked over for a quick, late breakfast after we dropped our bags off at the Hyatt Place Downtown (Would definitely stay there if you are in Nashville!). Service and food were outstanding!

   our party was 4 people. 2 out of 4 had a great meal. Outstanding black truffle gnocchi. I had the salmon which lacked flavor and the chicken Milanese was standard. Homemade ricotta was outstanding, but the apple fennel was bland. My drink which was a lemon drop martini and asked for it to be extremely less sweet. Came back sweet. The server was good, probably new to the restaurant but overall tentative to us.

   Food was mostly good. Great wine recommendation from our server who was very on top of things when we first sat down but then seemed to forget about us. Crab risotto was good. Very rich. Kale caesar was not great. Very dry. Steaks were cooked perfectly but overpriced. Short ribs were excellent. Good cocktails as well. Overall a good experience but not great.

   The food was amazing and our server Sara was great. My only complaint was the noise level. It is obvious that the acoustics are not great and the sound really travels. It was just my husband and I and we had trouble hearing each other.

    Our server Dylan, was great. He had good recommendations and checked on us often. The food was good for the most part. We shared a few things. Shoshito peppers, buratta and prociutto, spare ribs, and crab risotto I loved the spare ribs and polenta. The risotto didn't have much flavor to me. My mom seemed to like it, though. I enjoyed the burrata but felt it had too much sauce. Overall I would recommend for a nice meal out.

    Ella's may be on Second, but She is on First of choices for dining in Nashville. We had a group of five, with a diversity of palettes, and Ella's team satisfied them all. From tipples, to calculating the bill and tip, was a wonderful evening. We shared three appetizers: prosciutto, shrimp scampi, and whipped ricotta. A trinity of divinity. Dinners: Salmon, Braised Short Ribs, Branzino, and the decadent black truffle gnocchi. We shared kale Caesar, and broccoloid. All very much deserved it and held their menu positions. Dessert, some waned. We had simple scoops of creamy gelato, and one giant slice of Italian creme (and for sure...five (5) spoons. Thank you, Ella’s, thank you Ella's brothers and sisters, and a second thank you to our server Dylan for guiding us through the experience. We will be back, for Ella’s third, fourth, etc.

    Description was not accurate, we thought this was going to be a extensive buffet. Limited options, everything was cold, it’s a glorified hotel lobby breakfast except it’s not complimentary.

    Excellent server, bartender also was very personable. A very nicely done Lamb bolognese! And a bit noisy on the street side eating on the patio but only from the occasional party trucks that pass by … so quite entertaining to watch!

    Such a nice place for our Easter brunch!! Making reservations on OpenTable was easy. Our table was ready right on time. Our server Savannah was so nice and personable. We got to meet Chef Alex. It was obvious that he loves what he does. All of the food was delicious. We will definitely be back. My only complaint would be that it would be nice if they would validate parking for the hotel garage.
