From the onset, by being cordially greeted by Oscar and the impeccable service of Scott gave us such a wonderful experience. The ambiance was soothing, again the service was outstanding, the food delicious. Definitely worth my time and money.

We travel substantially and we have learned that Landry’s restaurants are generally inconsistent from place to place, especially when it comes to service. However, the El Paso Landry’s is ALWAYS good, with above average service. Today was no exception! We had the pleasure of having Nicole as our server. She went above and beyond, complimented our attire, shared some personal experiences and was very professional. Nicole is an excellent server and made our dining experience a perfect 10! We are looking forward to our next meal hopefully we will get lucky again and have Nicole take care of us!

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.

Eric, the new owner/manager has done an outstanding job of elevating Thyme to the premier lunch spot of El Paso’s West side. Leagues better than its predecessor, Thyme Matters. Great food and service. Impressive wine list.

Perfect evening to dine and connect with friends. Ambiance was perfect. It was a cool evening so chose to sit outside. Started with a delicious besito cocktail. So good I had 2 more throughout the night. No worries, I Ubered. We started with the marrow served on an open spit. Right at your table. After that we received some of the best Blue Points ever. Why not, we decided to get the mussels with chorizo. That should have been enough but.. we ordered the filet and a rib eye too and to top it off a ceviche. We were hungry .. right? lol Everything was amazing. The service was 5 star. We WILL be back. You can count on it. Thanks for great evening.

Absolutely fantastic! The food, the service, and the ambiance were all perfection! Very cool vibes - eclectic, contemporary, not at all stuffy. Great attention to detail; from the choice of ambient music to the quaint amuse bouche - everything was thoughtful and really balanced. Great energy, and even better food. We will be back!
