Went here before going to a concert at Toyota Music Factory. They have a serious parking problem! We drove around a lot and luckily someone was leaving right in front. It was really busy but the food was very good. We had the spinach artichoke dip for appetizer and it was excellent! I had the Caprese Flat Bread that was so good and my husband had the pork carnita tacos. He said they were a bit dry but good flavor. The service at first was excellent but when it got really busy...

We were THRILLED to find this place AND get a reservation at the last minute... before the concert event we were scheduled to attend! It turns out that the music venue was actually on premises a few yards away! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOO!

I had an amazing experience at Thirsty Lion Gastropub & Grill! My server, Kallie, went above and beyond to create the perfect atmosphere, making sure everything was just right. The food was delicious, and I enjoyed an appetizer, an entrée, and two adult drinks—all for around $60, which felt like a great value. If you’re a sports fan, you’ll love that they have March Madness games playing, adding to the lively vibe. I’ll definitely be coming back!
