Customer Reviews

Most excellent! The staff was lovely and the food was great. The lobster roll was in point and the pizza fantastic. Also had a special of crispy lasagna bites, which should be on the menu all the time. SO GOOD. I feel like this establishment will do very well here in this location. We will most certainly be going back.

We had a really good time here. We sat outdoors and the spacing was great. Outside it's called "The Garden at Ellera" which is a more casual, beer garden experience according to the website. We ordered the brussels sprouts which were amazing, although pricey. We ordered a couple of pizzas (cheese and Verdina) and a local beer and some wine. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu and the cheesecake. Both were delicious, although the tiramisu was a little watery at the bottom of the bowl. Overall a great place with some really nice food, but it can be on the more expensive end. Just know what you're getting into when you go. My daughter commented the cheese pizza was her favorite pizza ever.

I wanted to rate this place 4 stars instead of 5 just because how expensive the lobster roll at market price was, but it was fresh whole lobster probably the best one I've had in my life. The garden signature cocktail was good as well, my wife got a pizza and tiramisu which were great, I tipped about 25% and it was around 120$. Expensive yes but justified, yes. Excellent food.

I was welcomed to throw my sister her baby shower here and I could not have asked for it to have gone any better! I was offered to reserve an entire dining room area that was quite spacious and was quoted a rather heavy price so I only reserved a smaller section for what I needed. Then as I arrived the manager came in to greet me and ended up staying for over an hour to help me decorate, pick out wine, and set up the whole space. Then to my surprise since they weren't too busy the manager closed off the whole set of TWO huge dining rooms and we had both huge dining rooms and the whole outside patio area to ourselves for the party which was way bigger than even needed for sure and at no extra cost they just gave it to us out of the fact that they COULD. The whole staff was very friendly and helpful from coming in to give a wonderful presentation and explanation of our whole tables spread to getting every request right on the dot such as placing the cake with its cake accessories precisely how I had quite complicatedly asked of them. On top of all this we ended up staying far past closing time and were welcomed to without any pressure on leaving. Ten out of ten would recommend

Dine in outside in the shade. Picnic tables in the shade to enjoy all fresco dining. Worth the price. Nice happy hour. Recommend the happy hour and Antipasti menu, Frito Misto and marinated olives.
