Reviews for The Garden at Ellera in Bee Cave, TX
We had a marvelous evening here. We were blown away by the ambiance, the service, and the quality of the food & drinks. The... manager, Frank Rodriguez, spent time with us to explain the menu, understand our dietary restrictions, and helped us with ourbeverage choices. To say the food was fantastic is an understatement. And they have facilities for private parties and largergroups. I can't recommend The Garden at Ellera highly enough!! Read more
Look at your bill closely. The menu prices, even though they are already high, did not match what I was charged. I ordered a... panini sandwich. The server asked if I wanted the crispy potatoes with it which had a small note on the menu that there would bea $2 upcharge, which I was fine with, but when the bill came I was charged for the $8 appetizer. I brought it to the serversattention and it was corrected but I could have easily overlooked it if I weren’t paying attention. I ordered a coke, whichwas $4 and asked for a refill. I was brought out a can and charged another $4. $8 for two sodas is insane. The kids menu isoutrageously expensive. $8 for 3 chicken strips and $6 for a small cup of fruit. I was shocked that our 3 drinks, simplesandwich, kids meal, and to go sandwich rang out to $60. I don’t mind paying for a good meal, but this was not it. Iunfortunately will not be back. Read more
Upscale Italian restaurant with a great ambiance both indoors and outdoors. We dined indoors but will dine outdoors when the... temperature cools below 90F. Read more
I wanted to rate this place 4 stars instead of 5 just because how expensive the lobster roll at market price was, but it was... fresh whole lobster probably the best one I've had in my life. The garden signature cocktail was good as well, my wife got apizza and tiramisu which were great, I tipped about 25% and it was around 120$. Expensive yes but justified, yes. Excellentfood. Read more
Lovely place for an outdoor dinner for a group. We loved the apps (mussels, brussel sprouts, charcuterie board) and shared... pizzas. Great service and wonderful atmosphere. Read more
Very expensive but best Lobster sandwich I've ever had! The crunchy fried potatoes were good too! Will come back and recommend... for sure. Great service! Very friendly and attentive! Read more
What brought us here is a picture of a scallop sandwich in search for a sea food. The market price of $36 for 3 scallops,... however, turn us toward trying other appetizing menu items: POTATO CROQUETTES: fluffy inside and not over crunchy on the outsidewith bacon bits (be aware; we overlooked in the description) CRAB CAKES: interesting seasoning of the salad garnish, freshpeaches compliment in sweetness, cakes are filling (meaty) and seasoned well NOSTRANO: apparently, a new menu addition. Salty,fatty, and cheese on a very thin and tasty base Nevertheless of being non-beer drinkers, we choose Italian BALADIN NORA tocompliment pizza, thanks to our waitresses feedback, and didn’t regret it. To polish up the dinner we pick a lemon bar and asingle espresso. Is it unreasonable to expect coffee to show up together with a dessert? I am that weirdo that likes to flash abite of wonderful sour-sweet-gooey goodness on a very well done (but a bit too thick) shortbread base with a nice hint of a saltgrain here and there in a bite, of a lemon bar, after dilping it in a whipped and flash torched egg whites (what a nice anduncommon touch) cream, with a sip of hot, not lukewarm, coffee. But our feedbacks been immediately heard and addressed byChelsey, who’s open and straightforward candid made up an extra star on The Gardens rating. An outside patio with hangingchairs seems to be nice to revisit during more user-friendly weather. Hopefully, the next time there will be more staff to keepthat are tidy. Or is it an advertising? Attracts flys too, tho... Read more
Such a beautiful restaurant … absolutely lovely and inviting. We have visited twice and the service was quite good. We all... agreed, it would be such a shame to see this place fail to thrive. I strongly encourage the management to seek a lot of feedbackabout the menu, recipes, quality of food prep, and prices. Sadly, the food we ordered was just not that good and definitely didnot justify the high-end prices. (Fried chicken, two types of pizza, sandwich, salads. Note: we have not tried the Italianentree s). We are only leaving this review to suggest that you re-think the menu and work on the recipes. A gorgeous additionto Bee Cave … we’d love to be your regular customers when food quality and prices are improved. No one wants to be pricegouged for really mediocre food, particularly in Austin, when there are so many amazing places to eat. Thank you for consideringthese suggestions. . Read more
