Ella — Restaurant in Beverly Hills

Food is pretty good, service is some of the worst in Beverly Hills. That’s probably the reason they automatically add 18% gratuity to your bill, even if you eat there alone... There are a lot of great restaurants in the area to choose from, the staff here isn’t up to par, at least not the times I’ve been there. I’m a local resident and have been there twice now. First time for a late lunch, waited for 15 minutes until someone even came to the table (and no, it was not busy at all), then basically had to chase the server down for everything from ordering to getting a refill on water.

Decided to give it another chance and went for breakfast with my family (wife and 4 kids). There were only two other tables occupied - basically empty. The bartender told us to sit wherever we like, we did. After 10 minutes of not even seeing a server, let alone being approached by one, we decided to get up and go to Nate and Al’s for breakfast instead. It takes a while to mobilize 4 kids - about 5 minutes. In that time the bartender didn’t even look up at us, and someone who I assume is the server walked past us without looking at us either.

nobody said anything to us on the way out and so…well- we left.

Shame, we usually run a high bill and tip well…but I won’t be giving this place another chance. And I don’t see the reason you should either. Beverly Drive is loaded with awesome restaurants who actually...

AVOID AVOID AVOID. The server was so concerned with asking the entire table to write him a good review and mention him by name that I had to get up and go to the bar to get the glass of water I asked him for. For some reason he completely ignored me, not even so much as glancing my way even though he fawned over everyone else. As a queer person I’m used to this kind of prejudice, but the server was pretty evidently gay too. Just plain weird.

As I sat at the bar to watch the band play, the same server stood directly in my eyeline, blocking the view, flirting with some guy in a suit sitting in front of me. This is not an exaggeration. The server was putting his hands on the guy and everything. Very uncomfortable. I’d have gotten better service in somebody’s living room.

This place left a bad taste in my mouth and felt like it was run by a bunch of bored 20 somethings who needed a hobby. Please don’t go here. Save yourself from being...

Nice atmosphere for brunch, but food was okay, and service was slow.

They have an unlimited prosecco brunch option where you get three different juices to choose from to add to your unlimited prosecco. It was cute, fun, and came in little jars.

Food wise, the portion sizes are large and are just okay. I got a dish, which was a pile of soggy chips with two fried eggs on top. While the eggs and avocado were nice, the rest of the dish was pretty wet. Aside from that, the cornbread was good.

The restaurant was pretty empty, but still the service was really slow. We found out at the end that they were short staffed.

The place is nicely decorated, but I probably...
