This popular, casual spot promises neoclassical American cooking and delivers the goods: grilled pork loin; meatloaf with rich, brown gravy; crunchy fried chicken; and a homey chicken pot pie. Ella's serves breakfast and lunch to regulars from the neighborhood, but the big deal here is weekend brunch---even though Ella's expanded its seats in a major remodel, lines still snake around Presidio Avenue every Saturday and Sunday morning. Diners sit cheek-by-jowl, vying for Ella's open-face omelets. Fresh fruit, buttermilk pancakes, homemade sticky buns and coffee cake are washed down with bottomless cups of coffee. Service is calm and organized despite the weekend pandemonium. |
