text: I have been talking about this search for the perfect reuben for so long that people are starting to wonder I figured that I would better start documenting this search lest people begin to question my dedication to the task at handnnI had not been to Ellas since I relocated to Madison yrs ago So I figured that this Madison Institution would be a good place to start So the sandwich was pretty decent The corned beef was delicious and not too greasy I do not know why they do not serve it on a dark rye like most every other place I have had one we will forget the sourdough I had once in the north woods Loss of points here My only other gripe would be that they could have spared some fries and made a bigger sandwichnnThe reason for the two star rating is the service I received I was one of maybe four customers in the whole place everyone else was already seated and eating when I arrived and it still took ten minutes for a staffer to bring a cup of water The servers demeanor was short and far from sweetnnSo bring the kids to Ellas That is the demographic they are going for It is like ChuckECheese for the preteen steampunk crowd If you are looking for a decent reuben in Madison get it to go
