ELLA--TERRIBLE

Overall rating:

First off..i live in the neighborhood, and figured it would be a nice down to earth and classy spot for my 27th birthday. I called in advance and spoke with the owner to make a reservation. he specifically said that a reservation is NOT necessary, and to drop in and everything should be fine. sure enough, all my friends show up at 10pm (about 10 people) The doorman, was the tackiest, rudest and unwelcoming doorman I have ever encountered in my life. Said there was a private party and a performer that night...but could MAYBE accomodate us with a 3 bottle minumum. Since everyone was already there, we did the bottle service..we walked in, and the place was EMPTY. no tables being used, no one was even there..and they still would not let the rest of my party in. It was the worst birthday ever because they ruined it. and to top it all off...my boyfriend paid for the bottle service with his credit card, and i just held the table with my card..they charged us BOTH..its been days and i still have not seen the credit..I am extremely disappointed with my experience at ELLA, and being a frequent club goer, I will never recommend this place to anyone.
