It really depends on what you’re looking for. We (a group of 5) went for my birthday. If you aren’t early or lucky to park in the few spaces they have, they charge for parking. The temperature was warm inside it’s 86+ outside.. The service was barely a 3. It took a while for our drink orders to come out each time, unsure if it was because our waiter was doing karaoke or the bar just behind. The food had potential but I wouldn’t give it more than 2 stars or another visit..

Drinks served in plastic cups. Service was poor. Ordered hookah and was told all were being used. Two groups that came in 30 to 45 minutes after us got hookah with 10 minutes of sitting down. We never got hookah. When we asked server, she said she didn’t know what happened.

Wanted to see what the hype was about. First our waitress was not a good one.Second she took too long to bring drink to the table. The music was extremely too LOUD!!! we yelling at the waitress our order and she yelling back it was too much. Next finally the food came out and guess what??IT WAS COLD, we sent it back and by that time we had, had enough. The only thing that was nice was the place itself, they did a good job with the redo and deco. We spend too much money for the service to be bad and then the gratuity was already included, which I don't mind if it's worth it. Don't know if I will give it another try.

We arrived about 15 minutes early to our “required” reservation. They made us wait outside until our reservation time the place had PLENTY of tables available . we were told that the only food items left were “burgers and salmon bites” and they ran out of hookah. Needless to say we ended up leaving. Would not go back

I really enjoy my first time at Thrive. Our server was very attentive to our table even while having a larger party to attend to. The food tasted great and the DJ played versatile music which was great as well. The only thing I wish I could say was great were the drinks. The Thrive cocktails were not mixed well including the lemon drops. For the price, it did not do it justice. The next visit, I know to order shots and/or one liquor drinks.
