    Made a RSVP for Valentine's Day and the experience from start to finish was very accommodating! We arrived slightly late but the hostess was more than eager to greet us and seat us to our table. The valet driver was superb at accepting and delivering our vehicle at the end of our dining experience. Our waiter Alejandro made the night wonderful and delightful and remembered to bring out a birthday celebration dessert for my girlfriend's choice of dessert! He was acknowledgeable, and always checked-in routinely to make sure everything was to our liking. What a wonderful place, we will definitely be back!

    Thyme is my go to restaurant for special occasions. I had the tuna tartare and lobster for my main course and Brussels sprouts. My husband had the delicious halibut with an amazing mushroom risotto. The apple cobbler and chocolate soufflé with gelato was also amazing.

    The food was amazing. Very bright, playful, and flavorful for this year’s orchid show. I had the Salmon cooked medium and it had a luscious fullness with a beautiful crispy skin. If you do dessert try the nube de guava. The cute trifle will definitely make you smile.

    Exceeded our expectations. We chose to experience this iconic restaurant with our son to celebrate a special occasion, but the experience was more than anticipated. Service was EXCEPTIONAL, the food was delicious, perfectly executed and served with excellent timing. Manager checks table side, friendly staff, beautiful ambiance, STILL a fantastic restaurant. Definitely worth its pedigree of long term respect. Not just a tourist attraction…definitely worth a visit for anyone wanting a special dining experience in a lovely setting.
