The Ellery

I'm impressed. Fully cognizant of my neighborhood bias, I wanted to like the Ellery even before my first visit, which was excellent. I waited for a subsequent visit for confirmation before writing my review. Flawless is my description of the fried chicken dinner. Every element of the dish is excellent. The chicken is light and crispy with a citrus flavour that likely comes from an thorough marinade in a homemade buttermilk. The potatoes are mashed with a bit of chunky texture left in which adds to the delight of this rich and creamy side. The biscuit, ohh the biscuit, the biscuit is devine. The owners are friendly, warm and further add to enjoyment of the takeout experience. I recommend calling your order early as supplies are limited. I look forward to the time when they can host me in the restaurant. They appear to have a great selection of beers as well.

We're so happy to have this place near us: a cozy family-run restaurant with great food and wonderful owners and staff. The menu is small but that means that everything that's on there is well thought out and prepared to perfection. Everything on the menu is great but we especially love the beet salad, the ribs, the pastas, and desserts. Truly delicious!

Came for brunch on a Sunday with another family with young children. The restaurant is very accommodating to for folks with kids. I had the porchetta and my wife had the chicken and waffles. Both were delicious. Staff were friendly and engaging. They also have tables in the basement near the washrooms should you need a diaper change for your little one. Love this local spot.

The $35 prix fixe menu came with quality food and substantial portions. The beet salad with pistachio pesto dressing was out of this world! Very interesting and delightful combo. Definitely one of my favourite salads. Their burger was also very juicy and delicious. Followed by a sweet ending of cheesecake and chocolate mousse dessert made this a truly satisfying dinner. Service was also amazing. We had a time constraint and the waiter was super accommodating. He was constantly checking on us and helping us keep track of our time. Highly recommend!! ???

Excellent brunch menu
