Ella Dining Room & Bar
Ella Dining Room & Bar serves ‘ModernAmerican Bistro’ cuisine. The owners wanted the restaurant to become‘Sacramento’s living room’, an urban oasis where lawmakers and other diners cango and unwind after a long day’s work.
The design objective for Ella’s is: create abrand that embodies the principles of ‘Rustic Luxury’, and that celebrates anelegant, relaxed contemporary lifestyle. ‘Rustic luxury’ is a synonym forpurity, the essential beauty and goodness contained in simple things. It isabout the pleasure and sensuality of real materials, and about the inherentcomfort of a natural, effortless style. ‘Rustic luxury’ is not a simplisticreduction. It is the magical crystallization of two apparent opposites,simplicity and complexity. Rustic Luxury, as defined by Ella’s, offers itsguests an experience that combines the simple and natural pleasures of diningat a dear friend’s home, at their tabled’hôte or host’s table.

It is a verywelcoming and intimate experience, usually reserved for honored guests andclose friends. The owners of Ella wanted to create that level of intimacy attheir restaurant.
