About the restaurant
At Ella, we’ve reimagined the cocktail bar scene, curating an environment that seamlessly merges sophistication and the resilient strength of femininity. Our brand concept is a tribute to the modern woman, inviting her to embrace her edgy and mischievous side within a backdrop of classic elegance.
We believe in celebrating the duality of being strong and sensual, and our A cocktail bar is a place where powerful women can revel in their individuality. Ella invites you to raise a glass to sophistication, strength, and a touch of naughtiness, where classic meets contemporary, and where every sip is a reminder that life’s pleasures are meant to be savored with elegance and a hint of rebellion.

About the restaurant
Crafted out of sheer Westside flair and a nineteen year trajectory, Thyme Restaurant is a concept reimagined by a couple of couples with an affinity for food, wine and our beautiful Upper Westside neighborhood. It took laughter, conversation and lots of emotion, over many dinners to evolve this coveted space to what you see now. As you dine with us, surround yourself with our fine casual atmosphere amongst friends, family, food, wine, music, art and culture and let your conversations evolve. Thank you for helping us preserve this gem in our beloved neighborhood.

The wine selection was fantastic and the service was outstanding. We were not only very well taken care of but were routinely checked on to see how we were doing, tipping off wine and water, without being disturbed. The bottle we requested was unavailable but we were provided a list of suggestions and given a brief description of each in an informative way without being talked down to. The environment was cozy and felt just open enough to not feel cooped up and intimate enough to enjoy a soft conversation without too much noise. Overall a wonderful experience 11/10

Good service and menu variety. Food presentation was attractive, and prepared satisfactorily. Value for price was not as expected. Menu prices suggested a higher level of outcome and dining experience.

Food was delicious! Our server Celeste was fantastic, always on it with the recommendations. Water was always filled, food was quick, hot and delicious. Only complaint was the noise level of the music. I had to ask a couple of time for our server to repeat what she was saying, and the table next to us had the same complaint. We will be back, no question!

The server Rosie was very attentive and very kind and polite. The staff even had decorated the menus to say “happy anniversary for me and my significant other. It was a wonderful delicious meal we had both enjoyed. Would 10/10 recommend this restaurant to anyone and we will be returning customers again in the near future.

About the restaurant
Translation of amar in English:
amar (ah-mahr)
Verb
1. To love
We think the word AMAR is the most beautiful word in the Spanish dictionary, whose root "amma" (AMOR) is born from the first sound syllable that a child expresses to a mother. It is a reminder of the purest feeling of humanity.
AMAR refers back to the creator’s creative energy, the most subtle vibration that has formed everything, AMOR.
Perú &
México
Our Menu Is Completely Based
on pure love for comida
The idea of creating a Peruvian + Mexican kitchen happened because the cultures merged in our family sparked a combination of flavors, techniques and dishes in our gatherings.
After 10 years admiring and learning from Peruvian cuisine we decided to follow this dream and share with our community what we cook in casita.
