   We had afternoon tea here. No scones, just biscuits :/. The desserts were stale and they only gave us macarons. They only gave us tea bags, no loose leaf tea. The portions were generous though. I think this has a lot of room for improvement and it could be a great place for afternoon tea if they made some changes.

   The entire experience was not worth the time or money spent. There was one waiter that was taking care the entire restaurant and was the most inhospitable person. All the food took entirely too long to come and it was not good. The salad was wilted and favor less. When the notified the waiter that the food was not good he responded with “sorry that’s how it comes.” I was entertaining out of town guest and was looking a good simple brunch. This was not the place.

   none of us liked our dinner. Pumpkin ravioli had too much cinnamon & two of us ordered the braised ribs were so salty, pretty inedible. My friend didn’t eat it at all, had I not been famished from my travels & empty stomach, I would gave stopped after one bite.

   An outside the box wine dining experience! Chef Ashton did a fantastic job, pairing wines from a Hill Country winery, Portree Cellars, with seasonal dishes. He elegantly turned a typical wine dinner on its head, with innovation. This is not your Dad's wine pairing dinner! Rosé for dessert??? Yes, please. The team at Hotel Ella and Portree Cellars created a signature experience.

   Living in the Austin world of everything BBQ and avocado toast, a beautiful multi course meal with paired wine was delicious. My favorite was the lamb entree and the crema cotta dessert. It’s a part of Hotel Ella so the nerd in me enjoyed the decor and architecture of the historic landmark. Service was on point! Definitely looking into coming back for our next special occasion.

    Unfortunately, the restaurant was out of the majority of the items on the menu, leaving us with minimal choices. However, the finesse with which Mr. Porter delivered the news made it easy to overlook the limited selection. As usual, we enjoyed a lovely conversation in the quaint atmosphere.
