Despite the changes over the years, Cafe Central has maintained the high standards I've always expected. Service, food, wine, cocktails. We went for our anniversary and the service was absolutely lovely.

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.

Our waiter that came over at the beginning was going a mile a minute and didn’t contribute to a relaxed experience. The young lady that he worked with afterwards rescued things
