"The space at Ella Elli reminds us of a furniture store—there’s a large waiting area with a fireplace and couches that looks staged—but you can forgive that once you’re seated and start eating. Nothing on the Mediterranean small plates menu is bad, but it’s the vegetable dishes that stand out. Keep it in mind for date night, or when you want somewhere to catch up with friends at the bar." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"I note that Ella & Ollies, which opened in 2016, is one of the Rushings' existing restaurants and will remain in operation as they move to Chicago." - Ashok Selvam
