Our group of six was warmly welcomed in by the waitstaff. We ordered a lot of food and shared, which was great to try more things. Everything was made fresh and tasted wonderful. A couple had the cabbage entree, but the rest of us were more enticed by the smaller plates. The puff pastry tomato soup was lovely! The French onion Gougeres were also delicious! Make sure you set aside a little time to dine, and enjoy.

I fully enjoyed my visit to Thirsty Lion Washington Square with my family. I'm hearing-impaired and requested a relatively quiet location in restaurant and we were seated in the perfect spot. I ordered the Tuscan Romano chicken dish and it was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food. We will definitely return.
