I was stoked to see Ella's open where Sammy's used to be, and my first impression was that it is much like Sammy's. Same laid back atmosphere, very casual. There's a pool table and juke box with fire pits in the back patio area. I had an appetizer sampler and I was very happy. Good bar food! The drinks were fairly cheap as well and they always have specials. The crowd was a good mix of people, both older and younger, and the servers were very friendly. The only negative thing I can really say is that the service was slow, but that is to be expected for a new bar/restaurant that is ironing out the kinks. I had a blast my first night there and I'm planning a return visit SOON!
