Love the flatbreads here! The dough is both crispy on the edges and soft in the middle. The ingredients are fresh. I love the fresh arugula and also ask for the hot honey drizzle if you are pairing it with prosciutto! 

Business response:

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for highlighting your favorite flatbread details. It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoy the combination of crispy edges and soft centers, along with the fresh ingredients. The suggestion to pair prosciutto with hot honey drizzle sounds delicious and is sure to inspire others. Your feedback is truly appreciated!

I Loved It! This was my first trip to Thirsty Lion. For starters it is on the outskirts of Westgate, so plenty of parking is nearby. As you approach, the two-level outdoor patios stand out. Looks fun! We were here for brunch, so the place was not overly crowded. The dining area is spacious, modern and stylish. I found the brunch menu to be upscale and so much more than just pub-grub! If you're visiting for a drink, it's hard to imagine that you couldn't find exactly what you want in the very extensive drink menu. It's all ... read more

Let me start by saying the two guys that were serving our table were great and I wish I could remember their names, that said the food was very disappointing because they advertising of the scratch kitchen. As a former restaurant owner that is not scratch. Two ppl at our table ordered orange chicken and both came out totally different. We also ordered another chicken dish which was very under seasoned with no taste. We sent that back and picked over the orange chicken just because we didn't have time to re-order it was prett... read more

Was sat and 20 minutes go by for the waitress to come up to me. Then it took 30 minutes for cold food, the icing on the cake was they canceled my reservations in open table because the server was so bad she went and told the front staff. The lady put Al of our drink orders in at the bar incorrectly, and was not attentive. Way to ruin a perfect spot! 

Business response:

While it appears, we missed the mark during your recent visit, we value your patronage and assure you we have addressed your concerns with the team.

This place was decent. Lots of food options. Indoor or outdoor seating. They make all of their food from scratch. I ordered the spinach and feta cheese omelette with potatoes. It was nice. They also offered mocktails and I decided to try the passion fruit and mango agua Fresca. It was also nice, not too sweet. We had reservations on Sunday around 1pm, but it didn't seem super busy so they might not be necessary. 

Business response:

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Emma. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the variety of food options and the mocktails, particularly the passion fruit and mango agua fresca. It's great to know that you found the spinach and feta cheese omelette to your liking. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another visit soon.

Worst place ever.. we come in and that say the wait is 15 minutes even tho it took 30 then they told us to go upstairs because they will help us instead. Now the first table they sat us at we weren't comfortable with then the next one there where 2 hairs so third times a charm the third one worked out. We had such a great waitress very kind but the hosts were just rude.. there was one with red hair that had the biggest attitude and every time we asked a question she would turn around and ask the other host because she didn't... read more

Business response:

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience — that sounds incredibly frustrating and far from the standard we strive for. While we’re glad to hear your server was kind, everything else you described is unacceptable, and we sincerely apologize. We’d appreciate the opportunity to make this right. Please reach out to nchester@ceghospitality.com so we can follow up with you directly.
