Does the following sentence use the ellipsis mark properly?

As Burrows and Wallace (1999) pointed out, restaurant culture in New York City changed forever with the arrival of the Delmonico brothers' French
restaurant, which "was among the first... to let diners order from a menu of choices, at any time they pleased, and sit at their own cloth-covered tables" (p.
437).

Answer: yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The ellipsis (three dots) is used to indicate that a portion of the original text has been omitted. In this case, the ellipsis indicates that there was more text in the original quote but it has been omitted for the sake of brevity.
