"A meal at Ellē feels pretty similar to catching up with a long-lost friend you haven’t seen in years. The classic Mt. Pleasant establishment has a comforting and familiar vibe, anchored by warm exposed brick, a beautiful wood bar, and chic pendant lighting. It’s a nice spot to hang, with great coffee and morning-friendly snacks at the ready. That includes the beet-cured salmon bagel (so good) and a quiche made with roasted tomato, corn, goat cheese, and basil pesto (so, so good). If you’re the saving-room-for-something-sweet type, we highly suggest the buttermilk panna cotta and honey." - mekita rivas, omnia saed, tristiana hinton
