    Arrived - and hostess said she couldn’t not find my reservation- accused me of having wrong location. So I proceeded to show her that I was indeed correct. With Attitude she said she would figure it out. When it came to sit us she said “just go upstairs”. Our server was great Drinks were not good. Food was mediocre- slightly disappointed

    We went to the Thirsty Lion for dinner on Valentine’s Day. This was the first time for us. The server was very good, the food was delicious. We’ll definitely come back!

    Dinner date with my husband for Valentine’s Day. We have never been here before and we were pleasantly surprised. I had the Tuscan Chicken and my husband had a steak. My chicken was breaded and browned in butter to perfection. Served with delicious and kind of spicy macaroni and veggies. The best dish I’ve had in a while. My husband loved his steak and he is pretty picky. He said I found a good spot and we hope to be back. Service was good too. Drinks were good but of course could have been a bit stronger. Lol Looks like a great menu for lunch too!

    We had heard from several people that The Thirsty Lion was a new great restaurant. It did not disappoint. Big shout out to our waiter Jesse. He was simply the best! The food was presented well and delicious to boot. We will be back!

    I had the Ruben with fries. I loved it. The espresso martini was a wonderful after dinner drink. I do query the policy no happy hour during event days. Seems like Westgate has events all the time. Great they validate the parking ticket. They take reservations which is a big plus.
