Reviews for Ellera in Bee Cave, TX
We decided to go here for my birthday dinner and had a horrible experience. The hostess was very friendly and quickly took us to... our table where we waited about 20 minutes before ANYONE came by our table. There were several employees and the manager movingaround our table as we waited patiently to at least get some water. When the waiter finally came by we quickly orderedbeverages and an appetizer. The charcuterie board looked and tasted like they rummaged through the fridge to throw somethingtogether. When the server finally came back by almost 30 minutes later I had my card out and just wanted to pay so we could getout of there. I have never felt so unappreciated and invisible while trying to dine somewhere. If you are going to celebrate aspecial occasion this is not the place to go. Read more
Don't know what was worse the food or service? The place was almost empty and took over 15 minutes for my drink. When the food... came out it was cold. Workers were shooting the breeze and mostly ignored us. This place is overpriced too. Read more

A good little restaurant, with generous portions and ambition. We had been under the impression this was a finer dining... experience, but it was a lot more casual? with jeans and a more comfortable staff. The octopus antipasta was good (though itneeds a sauce for the generous amount of potatoes). We had the short rib and tenderloin? both tasty. It?s a good dinner for alow key date night, though not as elevated as some restaurants farther into Austin. And, that?s okay! It?s decent food in TheGalleria? finally! Read more
This place is amazing. After managing restaurants for many years, it can be a bit hard for me to score anything high. There... always seems to be a detail that is slightly off, but that's not the case here. Everything here is awesome which is a hugecompliment coming from me. I'm tough to impress. The food is excellent. Best Bolognese around. Service is excellent as well. The bar cranks out drinks quickly and with consistency. Even the hostess is on point which a lot of restaurants overlook byhiring someone young and not training them properly. I never understand that since it's the first interaction for the customer. I've been here multiple times and every aspect is consistently held to a high standard. I'm thoroughly impressed. Keep it up! Thank you for providing a great experience. Read more
My wife and I had been hesitant to come here, even though it looked nice from the road, because we weren?t wild about the menu... we saw online. Turns out we were looking at the place next door called ?The Garden at Ellera? which has been renamed to ?TheGarden? and this restaurant is called ?Ellera.? Now that we figured that out and we know how great the food and drink optionsare at Ellera, we plan to come here all the time Read more
Praise where it is due. This much needed restaurant for the area delivers. Excellent, knowledgeable wait staff. An intriguing... menu and, may I say, one of the best grilled octopus dishes I have eaten! Read more
Server was amazing, manager checked in at beginning but not after our bad food experience? The hostess was on her phone from... start to finish. Our dinner took 50 minutes to come out? (no apps ordered?)The lobster fettuccine was bland and only had 1 bitesize lobster chunk with only 1 claw dry, noodles undercooked? no sauce very bland? replaced my meal with bad old mussels? noManagment checked back with our reorder? want to try back again yet went home hungry and very unsatisfied?
