About
Meet Ellie Hall
Named after owner Craig Hall’s mother, Ellie was a confident trailblazer for women’s rights and was a compassionate teacher and artist who always looked for the beauty in life, possessing a resolutely independent spirit. One of her greatest pleasures in life was gathering friends and loved ones to share a delicious meal and spirited conversation, a communal endeavor that brought her immense joy. It is in this spirit of togetherness and joie de vivre that Ellie’s was created.
Welcome to the family.

Haydee Hernandez
Haydee, a Texas native, has been exposed to an array of restaurants, from casual to fine dining. She is motivated by the connections and relationships she’s acquired through her many roles. After graduating from the prestigious Cuffs and Buttons craft cocktail program, Haydee began working as a bartender in the award-winning bars of the Joule hotel, where she led the opening of five successful concepts. Haydee was noticed by the Dallas Observer as “The Female Bartenders Who Rule Dallas’ Cocktail Scene”. In her most recent management role at Americano inside the Joule, she was fortunate to work in an established restaurant with a strong focus in Italian wines and a relaxed and fun environment. It was at Americano that she curated a thoughtful yet approachable beer, wine and cocktail list and is on her way to pass her certified sommelier exam through the Court of Master Sommeliers. Haydee also worked alongside her partner of 23 years in the opening of their family owned, award winning restaurants. It was here that her entrepreneurial spirit thrived through the daily operations of running a successful business. Haydee has a keen eye for attention to detail and believes consistency and a strong bond of trust within her team are vital in the success of a restaurant. At Ellie’s, Haydee would like to continue instilling a polished and caring service philosophy among her team. She is excited to work in a chef-driven concept and with a team that focuses on making sure every guest has a memorable experience.
