   Food was mediocre at best. Server was just ok. The bathroom had the worse smell I have ever in my life had to encounter —- unbearable. Bad enough for me to write this review!

   We had a reservation but they still sat people before us. We sat at a table for 25 minutes and were never greeted or given water, much less any order being taken. We finally just left. Tables all around us were being served, slowly, but still served. We won’t go back

   The food was great, the server was pleasant, but the service from him was pretty bad. You would have made more revenue if we had more and better attention. He wasn’t harried, just oblivious…

   I am hesitant to negatively post based on one visit, but multiple observations. After 15 minutes we had no one come to the table. No water, etc. We had to go ask for service and finally received water but after 5 more minutes of no service we left. Two of our menus were dirty. Many table tops nearby had dirty dishes. The place was not busy but perhaps they had staffing issues. I can understand some but the general unkept nature made us leave.

   Our trip to the thirsty lion was overall good and would consider returning. Stuck me odd that they ran out of champagne for mimosas, so that was major disappointment. Fish and chips were excellent. The egg sandwich was enough to share. The kids Mac and cheese were exceptional. Service was a little lackluster. Wait time was minimal. Parking was easy since it’s in a shopping center.

   Foos was very good but the server was not attentive at all. It took 1.5 hours from time we were seated to the time we left and there were only about 15-20 people in the whole restaurant at non-peak hours.

   Thirsty Lion is basically an elevated sports bar. “Gastro pub” is a super-kind description of their vibe and fare… Which is a bit below mediocre.

    Food is not good at this location. Mediocre. No presentation. Not great tasting. Drinks also bad. Service was slow and it was a Thursday evening. Dissapointed. The one at Grandscape is SO much better. Wished we had gone somewhere else.
