    Thistle are Rye exceeded my expectations! Very classy inside and the outdoor patio area looked lovely (we went on Valentine’s Day, too cold, so we didn’t go outside). Service was impeccable and very attentive with 2 people checking on us often and the waiter packing up our leftovers! Food was great! My boyfriend loves smash burgers and he loved theirs! The whipped cheese appetizer is amazing!

    Excellent dining experience. Coming from Lawton, Oklahoma this was on my bucket list. My wife and I were celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary. From the greeting at the door, the service received, to the food…everything was top notch. Chris Mongolian made the day even more special by singing If Tomorrow Never Comes in a dedication to my wife. Our 50th was made better by coming here. Just missed Garth and Trisha.
