We seat cabaret style, and tables are often shared. We are not able to guarantee you will have a non-sharing table.
Our seating is a mixture of high stools, booths and chairs. If you have a specific seating request please put it into the notes section of the checkout, but we can not guarantee any request.
We can not guarantee you will be able to sit together if you have not requested this in advance.
The Ellington is a performance based venue and we ask that conversation is kept to a minimum during performances. However our 10:30pm sessions on Fridays and Saturdays and selected other shows are louder, and talking is not a problem.
Smart casual dress is recommended.

As you book seats rather than entire tables, on busy nights you may be asked to share a table. If you would like to guarantee a table for two then there may be an option on the website for this when you book (not available for all shows). If you book four or more table places, you will most likely have a table to yourselves.
Tickets are only valid for the duration of the booked show. If you would like to guarantee a place for a subsequent show, we recommend booking online for both shows.
