Best of all, Ellingtons' menu offers something for every taste. The freshness and quality of Ellingtons' specials argue for the few extra bucks. Service was attentive and knowledgeable. Cocktails were generous and well-made. Ellingtons also has a nice wine list and a few good beers.
Desserts are the huge, platter-full kind that are best shared.
Be careful, because some are as costly as the upper-priced appetizers. But the two that were sampled at The Phantom's table were wonderful and hard to resist at any price. Ellingtons has the right mix of food offerings and booze, the right atmosphere and feel. The jazz is an elegant and welcome touch, and the room really is a fun place to be. The mystery was the lack of patrons.
