We celebrated a farewell dinner at Thrive Norfolk with a large group, and it was truly unforgettable. The setting was stunning, the sunset magical, and the entire evening felt like something out of a dream.
Chef Matt’s menu was exceptional. Every course was fresh, creative, and perfectly paced, with thoughtful introductions that made each dish feel meaningful. The team handled our dietary needs with such care — no nuts at the table and seamless gluten-free substitutions that stayed true to the dishes without ever feeling like a compromise.
What truly set the night apart was the service. The service was professional and attentive, yet warm and genuinely kind. Thrive delivered far more than a meal — it gave us a memory we’ll treasure forever. Thank you for the perfect sendoff.

The best farm-to-table fine dining experience I’ve ever had. Each of the six dishes was playful and precise without a drip of pretentiousness: just quality, farmstead ingredients prepared with care and craft. On top of that, the experience was extremely well paced and the outdoor setting was gorgeous. Thrive exceeded my high expectations and managed to be surprising in multiple ways.

Amazing culinary delight, always delicious and the vibes are immaculate. We’ve been 3 years and will continue to as long as they are open!

We hired Thrive for our small wedding (~35 people) and they were absolutely amazing - they exceeded all of our expectations. Our guests raved about the food, and we really appreciated the thoughtful adjustments they made for those who don't eat meat, which is often overlooked. We've also been to Thrive twice on our own and have loved every meal we had there. I love their commitment to supporting local farmers. The food is always delicious, and the whole experience is so much fun. Thrive is really special!

Our recent experience with Thrive’s in-house catering was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, their farm-to-table approach delivered an authentic, flavorful, and thoughtfully curated dining experience.
The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and it was clear they prioritized sourcing locally and sustainably. Each dish was a perfect balance of creativity and taste, celebrating the natural flavors of the ingredients without unnecessary over-complication. The attention to detail was evident in every bite—from the vibrant appetizers to the expertly prepared mains.
The team at Thrive was professional, friendly, and attentive, ensuring that every guest felt welcomed and taken care of. They worked seamlessly behind the scenes, creating a stress-free environment that allowed us to fully enjoy the meal and the event.
If you’re looking for a catering experience that combines exceptional service with a commitment to quality and sustainability, Thrive is the perfect choice. They’ve redefined what it means to “eat well,” and we can’t wait to work with them again!

We had the pleasure of dining this past July. Weather was perfect and the garden setting was absolutely gorgeous. BYOB was nice and allowed us flexibility in what we drank with our meal. Service was excellent.

My second time enjoying this experience in August with my wife and won't be the last!!

Really enjoyable experience. You eat right in the middle of the garden where most of the food is grown. The owners are clearly dedicated and passionate about their work. The food is great.

Our meal on Sept 21 2024 was our second time visiting, and they blew me away yet again! Every plate of our 6-course meal was beautifully and thoughtfully composed, (without pretentious use of tweezers, which to me was refreshing!), celebrating many locally-sourced or on-premise-raised ingredients. Chef Matt, his wife-partner Autumn and Thrive are the next-generation Staedlander Farm - but more budget-friendly without compromising on value/quality and ambience. Speaking of ambience, their set-up is Instagram-worthy pretty! A perfect romantic date night destination, and gathering from other guests’ reaction I witnessed, I know they’d agree. Including few shots I took with my phone.

My wife and I had an unforgettable experience at Thrive Norfolk! From the stunning setting to the exquisite food, every detail was amazing. The stories behind each dish added a meaningful touch that made our experience exceptional. We can't wait to return—this will definitely be an annual tradition for us!

This was my second time visiting this magical place. The food is absolutely amazing. Every part of the dining experience is well worth the trip. The homemade sauces and the firepit right out front, where most of the food is cooked. I will be back every year as our family has now made this a tradition.

An amazing one of a kind culinary experience that I would highly recommend. You’ll need to reserve a spot weeks in advance but so worth it.

A group of friends went to this Innovative Norfolk Thrive Farm-to-table Event this Summer. It was Over the Top 5 Star — all locally grown food… It’s good to know South Western Ontario has eco organic farming events like this!
