Ella Dining Room & Bar

Sacramento, California

Ella Dining Room and Bar stands at 12th and K Streets in downtown Sacramento, one of the Selland family's restaurants alongside The Kitchen Restaurant, OBO' Italian Table & Bar and Sellands Cafe & Bar. The kitchen serves New American, farm-to-fork cooking for lunch and dinner, built on seasonal, regionally sourced ingredients, and the Michelin Guide finds the room equal parts rustic and refined. Its inspectors also call the bar a great place to linger over a cocktail. The house classics include a gin and tonic made with housemade quinine tonic and Hornbrook gin, plus an Old Fashioned and a Manhattan built on Elijah Craig Ella Barrel. A seasonal list runs alongside them, with a buzz-free list too.
