Multifaceted menu that has something for everyone. That is a hard task, but Thirsty Lion offers interesting appetizers, a wide array of salads and good signature dishes from burgers to high end chef selections. Our group of four came away happy and our "must revisit" list.

This was the first time I actually had an entrée at Thirsty Lion. I ordered the Aji tuna salad, it was so delicious. Our service was top-notch. The restaurant had a beautiful decor. Me and my family really loved it. I will be back.

Arrived after work around 6 for drinks and appetizers. Shortly after we arrived it suddenly got very loud and we realized the restaurant scheduled a private Longhorns fan party with a private DJ that made it so loud other patrons could not hear, speak to each other, etc. This fan rally was not sectioned off but was in the middle of the restaurant. We had a reservation and we were not advised nor did anyone inform us when we arrived. We already ordered drinks and food, which was clearly re-heated frozen/not made in the restaurant and of very poor quality. Everybody other than the Longhorns were leaving. Poor management and overall bad experience. Note that our server was great - we felt sorry for him. Do better. And by the way, Boomer!
