Surprisingly nice and upscale feel. I want expecting much at this local airport, but it has a great feel from the moment you walk in. Service is pretty good. Food is on the pricey side but high quality.

We held a company dinner for 30 team members at Ella’s this week and it was a huge success. We mingled in the bar over cocktails and were seated on the outdoor patio for dinner. Drinks, appetizers, service and atmosphere were all outstanding. If you’re looking for a local Watsonville venue for your next event I recommend Ella’s at the Airport.

We went on Saturday when it was pretty empty. My friend came in from out of town and we thought this was a good option because it has such high reviews. When we got there, we waited for about 10 minutes for someone to notice we were waiting for a table. The gentleman working the front was sitting on his phone. We get to the table and the plates put out were dirty, which is pretty gross. We ordered drinks that took quite a while and were nothing to write home about. We told the lady helping us that we were ready to order, then she walked away saying she’ll grab our server, but then she’s the one that came back to take our order. Odd. Anyways, we ordered a pizza to share and it came out after 30 minutes and was dripping in grease, and the crust was seemingly one that was pre cooked and frozen. Not a fresh wood fired pizza. Would’ve been fine if they weren’t charging over $20 for them. We ended up leaving and getting lunch elsewhere. All in all, keep your expectations low and know you’re gonna be there a while.

The ambiance was pleasant, great service, and food was delicious. Ordered the veggie bomber burger and it was definitely bomb. One of the best veggie burgers I’ve had and tasted like beyond. (Vegan cheese available.) The patty was moist and upgraded the truffle fries to the shroom fries and was paired well. Also ordered the veggie lasagna, which was tasty as well. Would for sure come back again.

Used to love going to Ella’s. Been 3 years and boy has it changed. Love how they have changed the inside. We had a pizza that was soggy, 2 of our party received their food when the rest of us were almost done, we requested the heater turned on on the pario; it never was. The waitress was absent and indifferent. We will never go back.

The restaurant is adjacent to the airport’s administration building, facing the tarmac. It offers inside and covered patio sitting, with views of runway and tarmac. Great place to keep the little ones entertained.
