I came here during a collab/event with Straker’s, and it was an awesome experience! The overall vibe felt very upscale yet informal, and the dishes I had were good, especially considering it was a special event with guest cooks. I also got the chance to meet Chef Thomas Straker during the event which was the icing on the cake. Thanks Ella Funt!

I was there a few weeks back when the AC was on. The AC water from the vent started dripping on my plate. When I told the server about it, she told me I should get over it because it's normal during warm weather. I've never experienced this before. I rarely write negative reviews, but it left such a bad taste in my mouth (literally). Really rude and disrespectful service, not to mention unhygienic. In a city full of wonderful restaurants, you can skip this one.

Absolutely terrible experience at Ella Funt. Our waiter was not only rude but also incredibly pompous, making us feel unwelcome from the start. The food was underwhelming at best—flavorless and overpriced for what you get. The drinks? Don't even get me started. Overpriced and mediocre. After dropping over $600 on dinner for 4 people I left feeling more frustrated than satisfied. Save your money and spend it elsewhere.

I couldn't quite figure out the vibe they are going for. The staff were a bit too cool for school but that wasn't the vibe for the place. The cocktails and the food were very tasty. However, the prices were high and the portions not so big. My husband after appetizer, main and half of a dessert, I was still hungry and I am not necessarily a huge eater. I think instead of charging 10$ for bread they should provide it for free and then people won't be hungry. Also the menu changes so the items that caught my eye in a review were not actually on the menu.

This restaurant was the worst experience I have ever had in New York. From the beginning, the waitress was incredibly rude and dismissive and did not want to serve our party of 5. The waitress even shamed us for asking for ice for our water, which was ludicrous. When our party decided we only wanted to have drinks, the restaurant said we had 20 minutes to finish our drinks and leave since we didn’t want food. Truly, have never been treated this terribly by a restaurant in all of my time I have visited NYC. I’m not sure if race was in play, but our party was majority minorities and we felt some type discrimination by the waitress and the host from the moment we entered the restaurant. Will never return to this establishment.

Fun experience. We came in for dinner at 8pm and even though we didn’t have a reservation the host was very accommodating and we got seated quickly. The cocktails were good and we had great food. Great service!

Visited ella funt on a whim and the staff was fantastic about accommodating our party of 7 with no reservation. Walk-ins are not recommended but on this fine night we were lucky to be sat after a few glasses of the finest wine I’ve had in East Village - shout out the sommelier!
Ambiance is well thought out with carefully picked out art work covers every wall. If you’re looking for the right mix of good vibes, good music, and fantastic French Neo-cuisine - this is your spot!

Nestled in the vibrant heart of New York City, Ella Funt is a gem that beautifully marries culinary artistry with an eclectic ambiance. From the moment you step inside, the vibrant decor and cozy atmosphere invite you to unwind and indulge.

Nice atmosphere and friendly service. But extremely expensive for small plates (and not particularly good, ceviche was too salty, steak tartare tasteless, etc). Would not recommend.

French salon vibes fill in this charming neighborhood bistro. Stick to the shareable small plates. Scallops and cabbage were favorites. Energy level goes up as the lights dim later in the evening.
