Our mission is to celebrate and serve the presence of the mother which resides above us, within our hearts, within the earth, and in all those who nurture us. We serve cuisine inspired by the kitchens of Mexico sourced from locally grown organic ingredients. Welcome to a seat at love’s table. The idea of Gracias Madre was first conceived while visiting the families of our employees in Mexico. We wanted to do both; offer organic Mexican food to the communities we serve as well as honor the mothers who work tirelessly in the kitchens of Mexico and often live without their husbands and children while they work side by side with us in California. Inspired by some of the recipes of these families and the love of their mothers, Gracias Madre serves organic, farm fresh, locally sourced food, full of flavor and love paired along side with our agave-based cocktail program spearheaded by Beverage Director Sean Stewart.

    As a vegan, I was blown away by the amount of flavors from the from the queso dip to the squash tacos everything was beyond delicious and they have a side of fried oyster mushrooms that taste like fried chicken. The whole thing was just amazing and we sat out on the patio. It was so charming and beautiful heaters everywhere so we were toasty warm and there was lots of green and lots of flowers and there was blankets. The whole thing was just phenomenal. I can’t wait to go back

    Valet parking is right at the door for $13.00. The restaurant is "modern" and very clean and welcoming. Check-in, seating and service was perfect. Meal service was prompt. We had a table of 4 and meal one was a cheeseburger/fries and chicken noodle soup that was tasty. Also a Thai salad that was good but too small. (: The third meal was trout and again, done to perfection. Fourth meal was vegetarian and a Quinoa Salad and not so good but replaced with a spicy salad which was very good. I would highly recommend this restaurant which has very nice outdoor seating and indoor.

    We enjoyed every aspect of our experience at The Ivy. The owner was actually there when we were and she was spectacular! The staff was very kind and helpful. The food is worth every cent and incredibly fresh. The freshcolorful flowers, custom pottery, art and atmosphere are such a staple in Los Angeles and truly one not to miss! You can tell the love put into the space and that exists with the staff.

    We had a great time! Great food and great service. This is our first time dining at Buca di Beppo, celebrating our daughter’s 19 years birthday. We truly appreciated Alberto, who’s very attentive and provided us with best customer service. Will definitely return soon!
