Ella's

Ella's Restaurant in Laurel Village is a cute little restaurant that serves "Neo Classical American" food. I came here for breakfast/brunch with Anh-Thu and Stephen one morning, and the food was fabulous, although a bit on the pricey side. We asked the waitress what qualifies as "neo classical American" food, and she said it was just a fancy way of saying "comfort food."

But this is no greasy spoon joint or dive. The furnishings are modern, the place settings minimalist but elegant, the lighting dim and cozy.

I had the daily egg scramble with potatoes and honey oatmeal raisin toast. The egg scramble was FANTASTIC. I can't remember everything in it, but I know there was bits of ham and bacon, spinach, and feta cheese. The portions are generous. They must've put at least three eggs into my scramble! The potatoes were perfectly cooked, crispy and hot on the outside, soft melt-in-your-mouth goodness on the inside. The toast was quite tasty too.

I would definitely go again. It's in the yuppie part of town, but the neighborhood is friendly and safe. But beware the parking police! Stephen got a parking ticket after our meal!
