Welcome to Ellie’s

The Art of Tradition

You’re a part of the family when you dine at Ellie’s, a restaurant inspired by dining traditions that harmoniously balances an art-filled, modern aesthetic with great food and genuine hospitality at every table. Our seasonal American cuisine is refined yet approachable, staying true to our namesake Ellie Hall, an artist and mother who emanated elegance and warmth with a fondness for lively conversation and friendly informality. The menu draws from her family’s diverse heritage and traditions and results in uniquely tasteful interpretations in every dish.

About

Meet Ellie Hall

Named after owner Craig Hall’s mother, Ellie was a confident trailblazer for women’s rights and was a compassionate teacher and artist who always looked for the beauty in life, possessing a resolutely independent spirit. One of her greatest pleasures in life was gathering friends and loved ones to share a delicious meal and spirited conversation, a communal endeavor that brought her immense joy. It is in this spirit of togetherness and joie de vivre that Ellie’s was created.

Welcome to the family.
