We visited Ella Social for a girls’ night before heading to the opera, and it was such a lovely experience from start to finish.

First, the service was exceptional. Geo was incredibly attentive and gracious — he even offered us a small wine tasting to help choose our final bottle. His menu recommendations were spot-on and made the evening feel that much more special.

The drinks were fantastic, especially the martinis, which were perfectly balanced.

We shared a variety of small plates — the octopus crudo, roasted cauliflower, Shepherd’s salad, croquettes, and potatoes — each beautifully presented and full of flavor. The dishes complemented one another wonderfully, making for a truly well-rounded meal.

A perfect spot for a relaxed, elevated evening with friends.

Mediocre food at best. Atmosphere is dated but the service is very good.

Ella Social is by far one of my family's fav' spots in the UWS. Food, drinks and service are always impeccable. Recommend their octopus (always spot on), and they have the best chicken soup in the city. I'm afraid of writing great reviews, because then my fav' spots become so popular that then it becomes impossible to get a table; but Ella deserves it. Hope that the team at Ella remembers my name the next time I make a reservation, haha. They are the best!
Oh! And thanks for the photo by the way... the manager happens to also be a great photographer, cheers!

We had such a good girl’s dinner on Halloween at Ella Social! The food is tapas style, and we got a spread of the Arroz, burger, patatas bravas, and arugula salad. All the waiters were in costume and made the Halloween vibe so fun. I would definitely recommend Ella Social!

Great wine selection, and convenient location, nevertheless, there is this one staff member (one of the only male waiters there) who is incredibly rude, it left a really bad impression the first time, and I chose to give it another go—perhaps he could’ve been having a bad day the first time around, but it’s happened yet again. Terrible communication skills, and just outright rude. Will not be coming back

Visited last Sunday at 6pm. Place was crowded, felt cramped, and unnecessary music they play makes it difficult to carry on a conversation. Food and menu is similar to any other place on Columbus Ave. Service was fine but they seemed depressed to be there. I recommend to stay home and order from them as takeout.

Everything we ordered here, the soup, the sandwhich, drinks, was just delicious. The servers were helpful and attentive especially as we had a baby with us. Would highly recommend this place.
