I have heard about this place many times but I finally went to celebrate my friend's birthday. I heard this place is popular and crowded therefore I made a reservation which was simple and easy. Ellie's is located inside Hall Arts Hotel which is surrounded by art pieces inside and outside the hotel that made great picture opportunities. I do recommend valet because the parking around the hotel and restaurant was $15 and up but with valet it's only $5 since we were going to Ellie's. The jazz trio started around 11am (we went on Sunday) and they weren't too loud that you could still have conversation and enjoy the music. I had the Sunrise Sandwich with salad and my friend had a Burger with Parmesan Fries. They were also so nice where there was no more Prosecco and was able to substitute with Champagne. Lilly our server was awesome and overall everything was great.

We ate here for brunch since we were staying at the hotel. The food was really good but also very pricey. The service was friendly but inattentive. I had the avocado toast and it came with one piece of toast and was really good and the poached egg was perfection. It was $22 dollars. My husband had a breakfast croissant with potatoes and it was also really good and it was $19. It was a nice place and a quiet atmosphere for brunch on a Sunday after a night at the symphony.
