Ella's homespun menu is global comfort food at its finest! Indulge in our award-winning Soul Food Sunday Brunch (Praise the Lard!) for all your beloved southern staples, or explore our unique, made from scratch, modern twists on your favorite comfort food dishes for lunch and dinner during the week. By including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options that mirror our diverse clientele, our kitchen aims to please everyone at the table.

LIBATIONS

Ella's expansive bar program includes craft and barrel aged cocktails, a collection of over 100 rare and small batch bourbons, locally sourced craft and classic beers, and an extensive wine list. On Soul Food Sundays, our award-winning Bloody Ella (garnished with a smoked BBQ rib), giant mimosas, and our breakfast of champion shots are sure ways to help you praise the lard!

LIVE MUSIC VENUE

We strongly believe life without music would be a mistake! Ella's small stage welcomes a diverse array of amazing local, regional, and national live music acts. Teaming up with Brokenmold Entertainment, we work hard to bring you some of the best quality live music in Tampa Bay. Shows are always free! Check out our Entertainment page for upcoming events.

THE ART

Prepare for sensory overload! Ella's art collection has been curated over many years by owner Melissa Deming. Her passion and love for found object & outsider art provides for a one of a kind unique dining experience. Many of the items are for sale and commissioned space is available.
