Ive been to Ella twice. Once for a DJ/Club night, and once to watch my friends band play. The DJ club night was pretty boring. I think I've grown out of it. The drinks are expensive, and the type of people that come to Ella is not my type of crowd. Early twenties getting wasted is not my idea of a good time. Now for the live band, the sound system was not working correctly for the first 20 minutes,. Once they got it working, it was way too loud, I thought my eardrums would explode. I do not think I will come back to Ella.

The only potential this place had was the "unknown" quality. I wouldn't have gone had it not been for an old friend who was performing downstairs. We went with someone who knew the owner, thankfully, because the "sweetheart" of a bouncer didn't seem to be letting anyone in. I used to work in a nightclub in Miami, so I understand the purpose of lines forming outside, it makes the place look "special". My issue with this was the weather factor. It was below 25 degrees out, and the crowd was getting angry when we showed up. I almost felt guilty skipping to the front and walking in (almost being the operative word here). We entered the lounge and walked down the dark hallway to the lower level (where the performance was going on).  The place was packed! The ceilings were black and white striped and we felt as though we were walking through the pages of a Dr. Seuss book. The chick who was spinning was sick! She almost made me forget that I was dancing in a room surrounded by tools. That type of crowd was the reason I stopped going to places like that. I spent the majority of the concert in the front by the stage standing behind three women in their mid 50's (I believe we call them cougars) screaming at the singer. They were minutes away from throwing their panties at him. One of them smelled like a hair salon (potent dye scent), and the other like an ashtray, because she had been smoking inside the lounge (I'm a smoker and I couldn't take the asphyxiation). The drinks were pretty big, but I won't go back here anytime soon.

It's a nice idea but I agree with the person who spoke about the schizo aspect.  There should not be a cover charge for a restaurant no matter how large the bar is.  And if you're going to pull that shit, at least don't institute at 9pm!  Make it after midnight or 11 at the earliest since that is about when the DJ shows up  - at least on Fri.  Based on a few visits, the food is hit or miss.  I do like the idea of a little distraction (loudish music, flat screens, people watching at the bar) to my meal to provide a loungey atmosphere without being in an actual smoky lounge.  But the line outside, VIP valet parking and cover charge def should go. Oh, and the cover charge goes toward the cost of your meal if you order one of their selected entrees.  You won't really want to do that though...Entrees have been unimpressive - I did like my salads, Jack Daniels cocktail, and strawberry shortcake.
