The Restaurant at Hotel Ella

"The restaurant, also called Judges' Hill, serves modern dishes such as duck confit quesadilla and cider-glazed quail in a sumptuous setting that lends itself to lengthy multicourse meals and over-the-table hand-holding"

"The downstairs spaces, including a tony upscale restaurant and full bar, have crystal chandeliers and high-coffered ceilings, with a look that speaks sleek and sophisticated, while whispering old money"

"  Nowadays, Hotel Ella pays homage to her good taste with fashionably understated decor, a locally sourced restaurant, and an art collection that the original proprietress would have coveted"

"For a fancy dinner head to Jeffrey’s, a polished steakhouse that serves choice cuts such as a 36-day dry-aged bone-in ribeye from West Texas, or to Clark’s Oyster Bar, a neighborhood seafood restaurant (think red snapper ceviche topped with roe, serrano and basil) where the waiters sport preppy boat shoes"
