    We were able to book online for a reservation at 1am. The Google search even stated they were open. I also went to the front desk of the hotel to get directions of how to get to restaurant and where to park and never once was told it was closed. Got upstairs and it was a group of other people there as well walking up disappointed by the incorrect information. It looks like it would be a nice place to experience so I may try again but it definitely was a bummer to go through all of that to get there and they were close. No reservations need to be available if it is closed to keep customers from this issue but again will try it again for a for assessment there was nothing to rate besides the experience of trying to get in

    One of the few times you get what you pay for in an upscale hotel. The drinks were well balanced. The food was tasty. Very good experience.

    This was a great experience and I recommend it to anyone who wants to try a mystery dinner or mystery hors d'oeuvres. The actors were fantastic. My date was picked to be in the show and he died really well. They even gave him best actor. Yes, they give out awards!! You will be so happy you went out d you do go and haven't been!!!

    We love the casual yet upscale atmosphere at Thistle & Rye. Our party of 6 sat inside as it was 8 million degrees outside. We shared lots of apps, we all had the cod sandwich. The cocktails were fun, our eats delish! Our server, Samantha was patient and gracious as we were definitely “extra”then a larger group settled in at the next table. They were hilarious, needless to say Sam had her hands full and by all accounts handled everything perfectly! Thank you, our evening was great fun!
