  • Cancellation Policy: For special experiences and tasting menus, cancellations or reductions in party size must be made at least 48 hours prior to the reservation.
  • Cancellation Fees: Cancellations made less than 48 hours in advance, or no-shows, will be charged a fee of $25 per person (or the full ticket price for ticketed holiday events) to the credit card on file.

3. Group Bookings & Large Parties

  • For parties of 7 or more, please contact our events team directly to arrange your booking.

5. Health & Safety Adherence

Ellie's operates in strict compliance with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health regulations. If you or any member of your party have severe food allergies, please inform your server before ordering so our kitchen staff can take precautions.
