Ella Social is an UWS gem. I love getting a selection of goodies to share. We enjoyed the smoky Brussels, mushroom croquettes, bravas, pan con tomate, and lamb sliders. The sangria was also nice. Plus, we are grateful for their dog-friendly outdoor seating area now that we have a little puppy.

Ella's is within walking distance of Lincoln Center. Keep that in mind if you're attending a concert! If you're going at a busy time, get a reservation. The seating is comfortable, but it's not a large place. It's jumpin with the bar serving, waiters picking foodbup from the kitchen, people eating and plates being served and cleared. But you still can have a conversation and hear other people. The food is consistently first- rate. You have two options - all tapas or tapas and dinner. I've done both and both work, but, and here's an unusual problem for a NYC restaurant, the portions for the Tapas are to be shared, but they are surprisingly large, so there's a lot of food. It's easy to over order. Some items have been on the menu for years - the smoky sprouts, the roasted cauliflower, the wild market mushrooms, the Kofte sliders, the handcut French fries and the soups. All excellent. But for two people, three really suffice, four maybe if you don't have the soup, so bring more people. Since I tend to go "all tapas," I am not as familiar with the main courses, but the skirt steak, fried chicken and burgers are all very good. I just like the "tapas" experience. Great options, great good, great ambiance.

Me and my friends came here for a light dinner so we split the bravas and brussel sprouts. Both were super good but we all absolutely loved the bravas. The potatoes were so crispy and fluffy and the aioli drizzled on top had such a good flavor. We got cosmos and they were good but honestly overpriced. The restaurant was super cute and dimly lit, would be great for a date night and the service was great!

We have been going to Ella Social for years and it has become one of our favorite spots in the neighborhood. The food actually keeps getting better each time we go back. Our favorites include the ham croquettes, smoky sprouts, crispy chicken, and empanadas. The Amelia makes for a refreshing cocktail as well. This is a great spot to sit outside watching the city perform while enjoying great food on a mild evening.
