Restaurant Preview: Ella’s Americana Folk Art Cafe

Posted by Taylor Eason on Sep. 18, 2009, at 3:08 pm

Ella's-Front-doorYea, so Ella’s opened last Friday and no one should really be judging any restaurant at this point. But I couldn’t help myself. As a resident of “The Heights”, my yearning for new food in my ‘hood bubbled over. And after months of anticipation, watching the building go up (they bulldozed an existing structure and built from the ground up), waiting on a variety of issues from construction delays to City of Tampa permitting, the locals were getting restless. And hungry for something innovative.

So I’ll cut to the chase: The Heights finally has a place to hang. Cool architecture (complete with controversial yard art), unique decor, huge outdoor seating, food potential. The service and the grub aren’t perfect yet but you feel the love. Highlights: Read the rest of this entry »

Restaurant Opening: Ella’s Folk Art Cafe in Seminole Heights, Tampa

Posted by Brian Ries on Sep. 14, 2009, at 10:59 am

After a long wait, the first in a series of new restaurants slated for Seminole Heights and Tampa Heights opened over this past weekend.

Ella’s Folk Art Cafe (5119 N. Nebraska Ave., Tampa, 813-234-1000) looks like it has the right funky vibe to fit in with the Seminole Heights crowd, along with outdoor seating (albeit next to Nebraska) and an eclectic American menu that ranges from beer-battered, deep-fried jalapenos stuffed with pulled pork, cheddar and cream cheese to “beet box and veggie pot pie”, whatever that is. There’s also pizza, salad, and soups; a small but very capable beer list; and a Sunday brunch/neighborhood barbecue.

Open for dinner, Tuesday-Saturday, with daylight hourse on Sunday.
